Train travel is part of the charm of exploring Europe, and there’s nothing quite like taking the train along Portugal's stunning Atlantic coast or across its vast plains and rolling hills dotted with cork oaks, olive trees, and vineyards. From the relaxed, friendly pace onboard to the scenic views outside your window, traversing Portugal along the tracks is truly a unique experience! A train journey will allow you to witness the beauty of the country's landscape while whisking you away to its charming towns and historic cities like Lisbon, Porto, and Coimbra; and it may even save you time (and stress), when you consider the hassle of getting to the airport and checking your bags.
