How to get to Aveiro

How to get to Aveiro

From Porto's Airport:

Step1: Take the Subway to the Train Station

At the airport you have a subway line called "E line" that goes from the stop Airport direction Estádio do Dragão-and leave at the stop Campanhã (here there is a train station). To travel by subway you should get the Andante card that can be purchased in every Andante machine, like the one at the left.

Single Travel Ticket: Z4 (1,70 €)

IMPORTANT: You must validate your ticket before you get into the subway, otherwise you will be fined (100 x the ticket price ). You should hold your Andante in front of a validating machine. If you have credits in your card, a green light will show up, as well the time that you still have on that credit and the remaining credits left at your Andante.

Step2: Take the train to Aveiro

At Campanhã stop, as you leave the subway, you will the train station right at your side. Take a train to Aveiro. It takes between 30 minutes and 1h15, it depending on the type of train used. You have four types of trains:

• Alfa Pendular (€19,50/€14,00 – 00:34h)
• Intercidades (€12,50/€11,50 – 00:39h)
• Regional (€5,65 – 00:48h)
• Suburbano (€2,80 – 00:48/01:09h)

Suburbano trains (like the one on the picture at the right) are the cheapest ones, but they are still nice trains, and the most used to travel between Porto and Aveiro. Additionally, if you tke this train, you will not have to worry about getting out at the correct station, as Aveiro is the last one!  To get your tickets, you can either go to the balcony and ask for one, or get one from the machines (see the left picture below):
