How to Get to Porto Covo & The Rota Vicentina: Public Transport Guide
Planning your arrival at the starting point of the Fisherman’s Trail is essential for a smooth hiking experience. Since many walkers travel to Portugal by plane or train, here is a practical guide on using public transport to reach Porto Covo, Odeceixe, or Lagos.
🚌 Public Transport Options
- From Lisbon (Airport / City Center): The most direct way to reach the trail is by taking a long-distance bus (such as Rede Expressos) from Lisbon’s Sete Rios station directly to Porto Covo or Vila Nova de Milfontes. The journey takes around 2.5 to 3 hours.
- From Faro (Airport / Algarve Coast): You can take a regional train or bus from Faro to Lagos, and then connect to local bus services (like Vamus Algarve) heading north along the Vicentina Coast.
