Lisbon is Portugal's primary rail hub and the southern anchor for the country's main north-south passenger corridor. The city has several important train stations, with Lisboa Oriente and Santa Apolonia handling most long-distance CP services. Fertagus also serves the Lisbon area on cross-Tagus suburban routes toward the Setubal Peninsula.
Trains from Lisbon include Alfa Pendular high-speed-style services on the main line to northern Portugal and the Algarve, Intercidades trains for long-distance domestic travel, CP regional and suburban services around the Lisbon metropolitan area, and Fertagus trains across the 25 de Abril rail bridge. Lisboa Oriente is the main modern interchange for national services, while Santa Apolonia remains an important central terminal for long-distance arrivals and departures.
Rail routes from Lisbon run north toward Coimbra, Aveiro, Porto, Braga, and Guimaraes, south toward Faro and the Algarve, east toward Evora, and across the Tagus toward Setubal.
