Porto is the closest international airport to Coimbra. If you arrive at Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO), follow these steps:

Option 1: By Train

• From the Airport to the Train Station: Take the Metro (Line E - Violet) from the Airport to Campanhã Station. This takes about 35 minutes.

• Train Selection: At Campanhã, take a south-bound train (CP - Comboios de Portugal).

  • Alfa Pendular (AP): High-speed (approx. 1 hour).

  • Intercidades (IC): Inter-city (approx. 1h 15m).

• Arrival at Coimbra-B: Since the old downtown station (Coimbra-A) is now closed, you must transfer at Coimbra-B.

  • Metrobus Shuttle: Look for the dedicated shuttle bus immediately outside the station. It is free for CP ticket holders and runs frequently to the city center (Portagem/Baixa).

  • Taxi/Uber: A 5–10 minute ride to most central hotels (~€7.00).

Option 2: By Bus or Shuttle (Direct from Airport)

This is often the most convenient "door-to-door" budget option.

• Direct Shuttle: our mobility partner Airport Shuttle operates in the entire.

• Bus: Companies like FlixBus (our mobility partner) and Rede Expressos offer direct services from Porto Airport to Coimbra.

• Duration: Approx. 1h 20m to 1h 45m.

• Arrival: The shuttle will take you to your hotel. The buses will arrive at the Coimbra Bus Terminal (Av. Fernão de Magalhães), a short walk or taxi ride from the center.

Option 3: By Car

• Distance: Approx. 120 km.

• Route: Take the A1 motorway South.

• Time: Around 1 hour 15 minutes. The A1 is a tolled highway.

• If you're looking to rent a car, check our mobility partners, Europcar and Hertz.
