Yes, you can- and should- visit Lisbon. You can travel by train, bus, or car to Portugal’s capital. High-speed trains are the fastest, buses are the cheapest, and driving lets you see sights you may be missing from the train’s window. Pick the mode of transit that works best for you!

Yes, it's possible to do a day trip to Lisbon from Albufeira. Although it's about 2.5 hours each way, you can explore Lisbon's main attractions within a day and return to Albufeira. But to experience all Lisbon has to offer, consider staying a few days!

Your journey from Albufeira to Lisbon will take you from Portugal’s southern coast to its western coast. There are many culturally significant sites to see on the way that will make you appreciate and understand Portugal so much more than if you just headed straight to the capital. This trip has a distance of 155 miles (250 km) and goes by quickly! Make these stops to break up the travel and stretch your legs:
Bacalhôa Winery
Bacalhôa Winery is a must-visit for wine enthusiasts, and easy to get to thanks to Daytrip's private car service. Situated at the Bacalhôa Palace, this winery is a gem for those who appreciate fine wine. Dating back to the 15th century, it is one of Portugal's oldest wineries. Having a private driver allows you to savor a couple of glasses during the wine tasting before continuing your journey.
Silves Castle
Another uniquely Portuguese site is Silves Castle, constructed in the 8th century by the Moors. This sandstone fortress stands upon the remnants of an ancient Lusitanian stronghold, documented as early as 201 BCE. Inside its crimson sandstone walls, you can see the excellent construction of the ancient towers, ramparts, and archaeological relics that have stood the test of time. Perched atop a hill, the castle offers sweeping vistas (perfect for family photos!) and a place to reflect on the various conquests that shaped modern Portugal.
Take your time on this part of your journey, and at the end, you’ll be able to enjoy all Lisbon has to offer!
About Lisbon
The etymology of "Lisbon," or Lisboa in Portuguese, traces back to ancient origins. It likely came from the Phoenician term "Allis Ubbo," or "safe harbor." You’ll see on a map that it is the perfect name for Lisbon, which sits right at the Tagus River delta as it spills into the Atlantic Ocean. Throughout history, Lisbon has been both a sanctuary and a conquest target for various civilizations. As your vacation takes a turn from Portugal’s southern coast to the capital, you’ll fall in love with Lisbon’s charm and see why it was so desired through the centuries.
Lisbon in a Nutshell
Lisbon's rich cultural tapestry spans over 3,000 years, characterized by a succession of conquests by major European powers and religions. Initially established by the Phoenicians around 1200 BC, it thrived as the Roman outpost Olissippo before centuries of Moorish rule. The Christian conquest in the 12th century brought an era of maritime exploration and global influence during the Age of Discovery.
This Age of Discovery unfolded during the 15th and 16th centuries, marked by unparalleled prosperity and influence driven by maritime expeditions. Portugal colonized vast distances, reaching as far as modern-day India, Africa, and Brazil. This period propelled Lisbon’s wealth and turned Lisbon into a pivotal trade hub where products from all around the world entered its ports. While this feels like the distant past, the result of Portugal’s Age of Discovery is felt today. For example, Brazil, which boasts a population of 210 million Portuguese speakers, dwarfs Portugal's 10 million speakers today.
Lisbon Today
Modern Lisbon is a living city with endless possibilities and things to do. Historic neighborhoods like Alfama and Bairro Alto stand frozen in time with their winding cobblestone streets, quaint cafes, and architectural marvels like the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower. They are symbols of Lisbon's imperial past, but there are plenty of modern examples of the future too.
Lisbon has a dynamic art scene with galleries, street art, and avant-garde theaters. Modern architectural icons like the MAAT museum and Vasco da Gama Bridge underscore Lisbon's progressive outlook and position as a beacon of modernity.
From Albufeira to Lisbon: Travel tips
So you’ve decided the next leg of your vacation will be from Albufeira to Lisbon, but how should you prepare? Follow these travel tips for the best possible experience!
Have the Essentials Close By
Don’t get caught without your sunscreen, water bottle, fully-charged camera, and sturdy walking shoes for your excursions. Portugal is pretty sunny most of the year, so staying hydrated and sun protection are a must. You don’t want to be late for a tour because you’re rummaging around in a suitcase trying to find something!
Take your Time to Explore
Your ride from Albufeira to Lisbon will bring you through the heart of southern Portugal. When you ride with Daytrip, you have the chance to break up the travel time and enrich your trip with sightseeing stops at some of the best destinations in Portugal!
Don't miss the ancient walled city of Évora. The entire old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site built around an ancient Roman temple! Because of its compact size, you can easily add to your Portuguese adventure by walking between examples of Romanesque, Gothic, Manueline, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture.
Hire a Private Driver for Convenience
A private driver with Daytrip will upgrade your travel day to an integral part of your vacation. The flexibility and convenience of Daytrip outweigh a regular rental car service, and you can see sites in southern Portugal that you may otherwise miss. Your driver will speak English and Portuguese and help you with your luggage.
How to get from Albufeira to Lisbon
If you're still deciding how to get from Albufeira to Lisbon, you have several transportation options. Planes and high-speed trains are the fastest, the bus is the lowest cost, and driving is the best for cultural enrichment and traveling at your own pace. Read below to pick what’s best for you and your family’s vacation goals and needs.
Albufeira to Lisbon with a Private Driver from Daytrip
Driving from Albufeira to Lisbon takes about 2.5 to 3 hours via the A2 motorway without any stops (but you will want to stop and see the sites as you go!). The route offers scenic views of the Alentejo region with plenty of ancient places you’ll be amazed are still standing. For example, take a detour off of the A2 to Evora and see the Chapel of Bones, with decorations made of the bones of 5,000 people to commemorate their deaths in the 16th century. And as if that wasn’t enough, the whole old town of Evora is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
As you get closer to Lisbon, you’ll be glad you didn’t go with renting a car and driving yourself, as parking in the city is difficult and returning the rental car will take time away from your time to see Lisbon. Daytrip drivers even help with door-to-door luggage service and you’ll be able to start sightseeing right away.
Albufeira to Lisbon via Bus
Rede Expressos operates direct bus services from Albufeira to Lisbon multiple times a day. The journey takes approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes. Buses are a great option if you are concerned about price. Tickets can be purchased online or at the bus station in Albufeira. The arrival point in Lisbon is the Sete Rios bus terminal.
Albufeira to Lisbon via Train
You can take a high-speed train from Albufeira to Lisbon several times a day via the Alfa Pendular service. Portugal’s southern countryside will whizz by your window for about 2.5 hours until you arrive at one of Lisbon’s two train stations: the Santa Apolónia (old town) or Oriente (city center).
Albufeira to Lisbon via Plane
TAP has direct 50-minute flights from Albufeira’s Faro airport to Lisbon’s Humberto Delgado airport at least once a day. Flights on weekdays cost about 80-100 EUR, and weekend flights can jump to 200-300 EUR before adding luggage. Once you arrive in Lisbon, you can easily access the city center via taxi, metro, or bus.
Things to do when you get to Lisbon
Once your driver gets you right to your accommodation and helps you with your luggage, it’s time to explore all the things to do when you get to Lisbon. You'll instantly feel the dynamic energy of this contemporary capital (and your legs will definitely feel the hills!) all while preserving its rich Iberian heritage. It was definitely a good idea to make the journey from Albufeira to Lisbon!
Lisbon’s Old Town- The Alfama District
Explore Lisbon's Alfama District by boarding the iconic Tram 28 after settling into your accommodation. This is a quintessential Lisbon experience, so have your camera ready. This tram route winds through historic streets and is a tour guide of sorts. It will take you straight to the Estrela Basilica's doorstep, a magnificent example of Lisbon's architectural grandeur.
From there, wander through Alfama's maze-like streets, imagining the district's rich history since Moorish times. Discover historic landmarks like Lisbon Cathedral and remnants of ancient city walls. Stop by a boutique for Portuguese tiles and a bakery for the classic dessert pasteis de nata, or Portuguese custard tarts. Once you’ve had a snack, find St. George's Castle. This castle dates back over two millennia to Roman origins. Witnessing the city's cultural evolution, from Berber conquerors to Reconquista knights, the castle's ramparts offer stunning views of Lisbon's urban sprawl below.
Lisbon’s Promenade- The Belem District
Next, walk down from Alfama towards the shores of the Belem district, with serene beaches to rest your feet after walking over all those hills. You can also see the Torre de Belem, an imposing fortress that has watched over the Tagus River's entrance since the 16th century. It truly represents all Lisbon has stood for over the centuries. Its architecture encompasses Roman, Moorish, Mudejar, and Gothic influences, and it is a symbol of the city's maritime might.
Lisbon’s Artistic Legacy
Remember those beautiful tiles you saw all over the old town and for sale in little shops? These wonderful mementos of your stay in Portugal are a part of the national cultural heritage. Don't miss the opportunity to explore the National Tile Museum, which celebrates Portugal's expertise in ceramic craftsmanship. Here, you'll encounter stunning azulejos and discover the rich history of tile-making, tracing its roots back to Moorish influences.
Art lovers will find plenty to admire at the National Museum of Ancient Art, featuring Renaissance paintings, Baroque decorations, and ancient Roman relics, offering a glimpse into Portugal's vibrant artistic legacy. Similarly, the Museu do Oriente stands as a poignant testament to Portugal's imperial history, showcasing artifacts from its former colonies and trading outposts.
When is the best time to visit Lisbon
The best time to visit Portugal in general is typically during the spring (March to May) and fall (September to October) months when the weather is pleasant, and the tourist crowds are smaller compared to the peak summer season. These times offer comfortable temperatures for exploring the country’s attractions without the intense heat or heavy rainfall often experienced in summer and winter. But do not fear, you will find things to do on your trip from Albufeira to Lisbon no matter the time of year!
Many events in Lisbon are bi-annual. In spring, enjoy the IndieLisboa- International Independent Film Festival and the Lisbon Half Marathon. If you’re visiting in the fall, you can participate in very similar events like the DocLisboa Documentary Film Festival and the full Lisbon Marathon.

“Utilicé este servicio para un traslado desde Split, en Croacia, hasta Perast, Montenegro. Mi experiencia fue excepcional. Mi conductor, Bojan, fue servicial, informativo y se aseguró de que mi viaje fuera cómodo y agradable. Recomiendo encarecidamente este servicio.”
“Quedamos extremadamente satisfechos con la calidad del servicio que recibimos de Day Trip. Tuvimos dos viajes con Day Trip el 31 de agosto de Atenas a Lefkada y el 7 de septiembre de Lefkada de regreso a Atenas. Ambos viajes incluyeron paradas en lugares pintorescos de Grecia. Ambos conductores fueron excelentes y complacientes. Sin embargo, nos gustaría especialmente reconocer a Panos Peppas, quien fue nuestro conductor de Lefkada a Atenas. Panos fue increíblemente amable y agradable, y brindó un servicio al cliente excepcional, que incluyó encargarse de todo nuestro equipaje, proporcionarnos aguas frías durante todo el viaje, darnos barritas de proteína, entregarnos material impreso sobre el Canal de Corinto (una de las paradas escénicas), buscar y facilitarnos información sobre la terminal y la puerta de nuestro vuelo de regreso a casa, y proporcionarnos una receta de tzatziki.”

“Nos encanta absolutamente esta empresa y la hemos usado muchas veces a lo largo de los años para ir de un lugar a otro sin la molestia de alquilar un coche nosotros mismos. Conductores excelentes cada vez. Eficientes y profesionales. Vale cada centavo y sinceramente recomendamos Day Trip a todos. Su calificación de 5 estrellas está totalmente merecida.”
“Viajamos de Núremberg a Múnich en un hermoso Audi. El conductor nos recogió en nuestro hotel a la hora exacta solicitada. Nos llevó a Múnich con suficiente tiempo para nuestro próximo tour. El conductor se aseguró de que estuviéramos cómodos.”
“Gonzalo de Daytrip fue nuestro conductor y fue absolutamente increíble. Hizo todo lo posible por localizarnos, ya que no teníamos buena señal en nuestros teléfonos. Esperó pacientemente nuestra llegada al vestíbulo para llevarnos desde el Tulum Dreams Resort a nuestro otro hotel en Cancún, a una hora y media de distancia, cerca del aeropuerto, antes de nuestro vuelo de regreso a casa. Fue educado, respetuoso y amable. Se aseguró de que estuviéramos cómodos durante todo el trayecto. Rápido y directo. Recomiendo esta empresa, ya que encontrar un transporte solo de ida de Tulum a Cancún no es fácil ni barato, y esta empresa ofrece un excelente servicio a un gran precio. Definitivamente los volveré a usar cuando esté en la zona de Cancún/Tulum. Gracias, Daytrip y Gonzalo.”
“Marianna nos recogió para llevarnos de Heraclión a Chania. El clima era terrible y, debido a esto, Marianna llegó unos minutos tarde. Me contactó para avisarme. Marianna vive en Chania y hizo que nuestro viaje fuera muy interesante al contarnos sobre cosas locales para hacer y ver en Chania. Marianna es una conductora segura y todos nos sentimos cómodos con la velocidad a la que conducía y lo bien que manejó bajo la fuerte lluvia. Es una persona encantadora y habla inglés con fluidez. Recomendamos mucho a Daytrip, y si estás en Heraclión o Chania, asegúrate de pedir a Marianna.”
“Utilicé el servicio para ir de Luxor a Hurghada, Egipto. Ahmed H fue nuestro conductor y fue perfecto. El coche era nuevo, estaba limpio, tenía agua y aperitivos para nosotros, y acomodó nuestras paradas. Gran servicio de su parte y lo recomendaría.”
“Usamos Daytrip para dos trayectos en México, y ambos fueron geniales. Muy cómodos, y llegamos a cada destino a una excelente hora. Ambos conductores fueron increíbles, y nos sentimos muy seguros. Uno de nuestros conductores, Miguel, también puso la mejor música. Definitivamente usaremos Daytrip en nuestro próximo viaje a México.”

“No podemos decir suficientes cosas buenas sobre los servicios de MyDayTrip. Nuestro grupo de 6 adultos reservó 4 viajes en Portugal y España. Los 4 conductores de habla inglesa fueron puntuales, corteses, profesionales y agradables. Los vehículos eran espaciosos y limpios. Recibimos un servicio puerta a puerta por los precios preestablecidos y nos sentimos cómodos y seguros en todos los viajes. Nuestros conductores se detuvieron para descansos cuando se lo pedimos. Antes de cada viaje, recibimos correos electrónicos confirmando el viaje, junto con el nombre, número de teléfono y foto del conductor. Nuestros conductores fueron Miguel (de Lisboa a Albufeira), Carlos (de Albufeira a Sevilla), Francisco (de Sevilla a Granada) y Rafael (de Granada a Madrid). Recomendamos altamente los servicios de MyDayTrip y ciertamente los utilizaremos nuevamente.”
“Disfrutamos de nuestro relajante viaje desde el aeropuerto de Lisboa hasta Albufeira. Fue una gran idea después de un vuelo poder sentarse y disfrutar del paisaje y llegar a nuestro apartamento sin estrés ni demoras. Los trenes también son excelentes, pero tener que esperar el próximo tren retrasaría nuestra llegada, por lo que tener la opción de un conductor fue perfecto. Recibimos un servicio profesional, amable y de buen valor. Recomiendo que consideren Day Trip para sus próximas vacaciones.”
