Faro Airport to Praia da Luz

Travelling by public transport from Faro Airport to Praia da Luz is a bit of a number:

You have four options:

1) Taxi direct from Faro Airport to Praia da Luz

The Summer 2007 officially quoted price (Faro Airport Guide )
is between Euro 79.00 and Euro 120.00. (At this price you are almost better hiring a car)

2) Shuttle Service direct from Faro Airport to Praia da Luz

See the following:

Costs circa Euro +-60

3) Bus - Train - Bus

Essentially you have to take a bus from Faro Airport into Faro Bus Station, then walk to Faro Station. Get a train from Faro to Lagos.
The walk to Lagos Bus station and then get a bus to Praia da Luz.

and

Essentially you have to take a bus from Faro Airport into Faro Bus Station, then get a bus from Faro to Lagos, (soemtimes via Albufeira). Then another bus to Praia da Luz. Note last daily bus (weekdays) Depts. Lagos 19:15

In summary, unless you flight arrives before 14:00 you will probably find it difficult to get to PDL by bus/train.

Hope this helps!
