First Class Train Travel In Portugal - CP Trains - Lisbon-Oriente To Faro
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Getting from Lisbon to the south of Portugal (Algarve) means a long drive, bus journey or a flight. Instead, I found a first class ticket to travel by train to near where I needed to be.
Join me to explore the amenities and comforts of travelling by train in first class and be as shocked as I was by the price!!

Amenities: Free wi-fi, televisions, buffet car

Travel Tips:
Lisbon-Oriente station is much further from central Lisbon than I realised! Budget for at least 20 minutes by Uber or taxi.
You can assign a forward-facing single seat or two seats together for friends/couples.

Perfect tourist-selfies!
:)
Great Vlog Patrick Enjoyed that,
and It reminded me that I should have taken that trip myself when I was in Lisbon.
A nice trip for next time, perhaps.
thank you so much patrick! your content is amazing ❤ i have a conference in Faro, but i’m landing at Lisbon and planning to take the train from Lisbon to Faro.
love from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Sounds like a fun trip! Enjoy the train journey.
Hi Patrick it’s me again👋 Just wanted to say that for the past weeks me and my family have enjoyed watching your WB Yeats videos together as we’re going to France on Saturday. Your videos are so enjoyable and we’ve loved watching them. Keep up the good work paddy bro!
Thanks so much - I appreciate the kind comment.
@@PlanetPatrick no problem! It’s great because we’re also from Newry so it’s good to see relatable content🙌
@@abellew4203 Have a great trip to France! I'm heading myself at the tail end of next week.
@@PlanetPatrick you too enjoy yourself🫡👏
Another great video - enjoy your stay in Portugal.
Thanks!
First class is Très chic
It's always nicer and on CP Trains at the weekend, it's not much more expensive.
Loved this video...Next Feb 2025 I will be travelling from Lisbon to Lagos on a Sunday. Is it possible to buy a train ticket at the station itself....can't book beforehand because I don't know what time I will get to the Oriente station from when my flight gets in. The plane arrives at 8.00 a.m. but goodness knows how long it will take to get through the airport. Anne from beautiful Kincardine, Ontario, Canada. Thanks for your videos..
Hi Anne, I booked ahead but to be honest, there was plenty of room on the train and I don't see why you wouldn't be able to buy a ticket at the station.
@@PlanetPatrick Thanks, Patrick - that was my feeling...I was at Oriente station by bus last year - it really is a beautiful station, but don't know the layout of the train part, but I'm sure it won't be difficult to navigate. Thanks again.
Patrick this video was helpful. I was planning to travel from Lisbon to Tomar in December. I see that you had a suitcase. Did you store that at your seat or was there a first class storage place in the train. I will be traveling with medium size suitcase and have wondered where to put as I am not familiar with European trains. Thank you!
Hi Barbara - yes there’s a storage area for suitcases in first class. Enjoy your trip!
Just a note, u forgot to mention the fact that the 19€ ticket was bcs u booked early, bcs if someone buys the tickes less than 5 days before the trip its fonna cpst double of the price
I booked this over 2 years ago, I don’t know what the rules were at the time. People should check at the time they book what the booking rules are.
how u doing?-Like it!how well . Planet.
Hi - glad you liked it!
Hi! what's the difference between first class and economy one? also, is there a washroom on every train? thank you
The difference is mainly the seat comfort and size. Yes there’s a washroom not only on every train but usually in every carriage.
good
Thanks!
Idk if it was bcs I was in second class but last time I was on an ap, the internet was very very slow, and it coudnt even load youtube, but each couch has its own internet so idk if it was bcs of that or not 😅
I don’t know why the speeds were different at your specific time of travel.
How long does it take?
Google Maps will give you a more accurate answer - couple of hours I seem to recall
I want to go from lagos zu Lissabon by train. Whats the best option to book a ticket?
You should look up the Portuguese train service. I’ve taken literally one journey with them.
@@PlanetPatrick where can I book it? Cann you recommend a homepage?
very cheap
Yes! Very reasonable
