How to get there & Where to stay?
Humberto Delgado Airport
Coming from overseas?
-Lisbon (LIS) airport is the closest (1h20min).
-However, Porto (OPO) is not far (2h15min).
From Lisbon to Alcobaca (and discovering) Portugal, car renting might be the best and most practical option.
From Lisboa to Alcobaca
The best and most convenient way to travel from Lisboa to Alcobaça and move between towns in Portugal is by car.

Fancy a bus trip? Here is where you can find your options. https://rede-expressos.pt/en/timetables
From Lisboa (Sete Rios) to Alcobaca costs 12.00 Euros. Please note that you must go from the airport to the Sete Rios station (Uber, taxi, and Aerobus are some of the options). Unless you rent a car in another city, the bus option will become quite challenging to move around and get to know other places.
