Bus from Porto to Vigo

[BarbC]

Hi all

We are arriving in Porto on Sept 10 and leaving for Vigo on the 13th - I think that based on the schedules, the bus seems better than the train. Is it necessary to get tickets far ahead - will I be able to book when I get to Porto - just a couple days in advance. Any recommendations on which Bus line?

thanks
Barb

If you already know your exact date, why not just buy them online in advance? ALSA, Flixbus and Rede Expressos are the lines.

I think you are right - I should do that. Do you have any preference of lines - and are you familiar with the bus station in Porto - I heard it's quite massive and not in the town centre.

When I need to take a bus I always look first at the ALSA app. It is easy to use and you can see it in English if need be. After I purchase it I can add the ticket to my Apple wallet. I am sure they have lots of busses. I took the train from Santiago to Vigo and switched to the bus to Porto to meet my daughter in Porto after a camino 4 years ago. It was easy and comfortable.

Alsa is the easiest to use in my opinion but they are all good, clean, and comfortable.

The Campanha station bus & train are a little outside but accessible to the city centre.
