Hi, ouroboros,Which Station in Porto is the best one to go to to find pilgrim accomodations and a pilgrim office to get our credencials officially stamped?
Thanks!
Looking forward to walking the Camino Portugese in May of this year!
There are two train stations in Porto:
- São Bento, the beautiful one and the one you should go to if you're looking for accommodation, restaurants, cathedral, etc
- Campanhã, "outside" the city where, sometimes, you might need to change trains, depending on where you are going to / coming from
If I'm not mistaken (and I might be) Lisbon does not have direct trains to Porto - São Bento
You go from Lisbon to Porto - Campanhã and then you take another train to Porto - São Bento (4 min ride)
It is possibleI am virtually certain I took a train from the tiled train station to Lisbon.
Campanhã is the first stop for every train leaving São Bento (see the attachment)Where is Campanha?
Thanks so much for all your help!
Perhaps the bus would be a good option from Lisbon to Porto.
I was told to look for RENEX bus company.
It is settled then! Must take the train!The train journey from Lisbon is wonderful and the view as you first glimpse Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia when crossing over the Douro river on the high bridge is a sight you will never forget - unless it's foggy that day.

Trains have their own bridge: São João.What I'm not sure of is whether the train goes across the upper level -- SEB, can you clarify? I thought that the only traffic on the upper level is pedestrian and tram.
All trains leaving São Bento go through Campanhã and then, if they are heading south, they cross Douro through São João bridge.(...) I have tried to check whether it is the Dom Luis bridge that the train to Sao Bento goes over but cannot confirm this. (...)

They do not cross D. Luís bridge.
