Intercidades overview
Intercidades trains are locomotive-hauled or coach-based long-distance services operated by Comboios de Portugal, with carriages in CP colors and reserved seating interiors. They run on conventional Portuguese rail corridors linking Lisbon Santa Apolonia and Lisboa Oriente with Porto Campanha, Coimbra-B, Faro, Evora, Guarda, and Covilha. Depending on the trainset, passengers may find Turistica and Conforto seating. Onboard layout, carriage age, and features vary between routes, especially when comparing the Lisbon-Porto axis with inland Intercidades services.

Intercidades Classes Explained
Intercidades trains in Portugal generally use two reserved seating classes: Turistica and Conforto. Turistica is the standard class for most long-distance passengers, with assigned seats and a practical intercity layout. Conforto is the higher class, usually offering more seat space and a quieter carriage environment on Comboios de Portugal trainsets that include it. Class availability can vary by route, train composition, and timetable period, so confirm the listed option before selecting a fare. Use the search inputs at the top of the page to enter departure station, arrival station, travel date, and passengers, then compare available Intercidades class choices.
