Lisbon to Figueira da Foz - Public Transport

There are two options to get from Lisbon to Figueira da Foz by Public Transport.

1) Rail

There are several trains throughout the day from Lisbon Gare Oriente Station (10 minutes by taxi from the Lisbon Radisson.) to Figueira da Foz.

The timetable can be found here: http://bit.ly/9BipiT.

Most require a change of train at Alfarelos Station. A couple require a chnage of train at Pombal and Alfarelos Stations.

2) Bus

Rede Expressos - http://www.rede-expressos.pt - have three daily services from Lisbon Sete Rios Bus Station (10 to 15 minutes by taxi from Lisbon Radisson depending on traffic.) to Figueira da Foz.

Current Schedules show the following departures:

Dept. Lisbon: 08:30       
Arr. FdF:     11:15

Dept. Lisbon: 15:45       
Arr. FdF:     18:30

Dept. Lisbon: 18:30
Arr. FdF:     21:30

Whichever option you take, I would recommend buying tickets the day before as your intended date of travel is ultra-high season.

Hope this helps.
