Rail travel is the most practical choice for this short distance, as trains run more frequently than regional buses and drop passengers directly in the town center. Driving or taking a bus involves navigating Lisbon traffic and potential tolls onto the A1 motorway. Given the short 30-kilometer distance, flying is not a viable option. The train offers the most consistent travel time and lower environmental impact.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
