Plenty of people walk between Lisbon and Porto but the Camino there follows the ancient and traditional Central route via Santarem, Tomar, Coimbra, etc. Of course you can also walk on the coast but that won't be a Camino as such, more like a hike rather then a pilgrimage, there are no albergues and other pilgrim infrastructure there. The Central way betwen Lisbon and Porto is popular and busy in season, maybe not as much as the Porto to Santiago stretch but it has all the infrastructure in place. The list of albergues and other accommodation options: https://www.vialusitana.org/caminho/albergues I walked from Santarem which is 3 walking days from Lisbon and loved this Camino! It has a totally different feel then Porto-Santaiago stretch, more quiet and introspective but it's possible to meet people and even form a Camino family if you want company. You can find plenty of info on the this forum re starting from Lisbon in the Camino Portugues section, not in the subforum Coastal Camino from Lisbon where you'd posted it. Hope that helps! Bom Caminho!I am starting my second Camino in Lisbon on March 1st. I've been looking on the internet about information about the camino Portuguese but everything directs me to Porto to Santiago. Has anyone on here started in Lisbon? And if so where exactly did you start? Could you also walk the coastal way from Lisbon or that just from Porto? How are the albergues in comparison to on the French Way, as in are they plentiful or scarce?

Walked it in '17 from Lisbon; starting point is the cathedral. Walked the Coastal for two days from Porto. Albergues are not plentiful.I am starting my second Camino in Lisbon on March 1st.

Did it earlier this year. August time, the infrastructure not so good to start but improves toward Tomar, start at Cathedral and take plenty of water for a lot (second half) is long stretch before rest stop the alburges are far apart but the food is good price and beer/wine of course, enjoyI am starting my second Camino in Lisbon on March 1st.

The Church in Lisbon is the Basilica of the Martyrs in the Chiado section of the city. I started my Portuguese Camino there and got my first stamp "carimbo".
The original start of the caminho Português in Lisbon is the church of San TiagoThanks for this, I didn’t know that. That church is 15 minutes walk from my home on the way to the cathedral, so if I ever do the CP I can make it my first stop!
But that’s not as close to my apartment!The original start of the caminho Português in Lisbon is the church of San Tiago
The Official Start of the Camino Portugués in Lisbon
Many believe the official start of the Camino Portugués in Lisbon is the Cathedral of Lisbon.www.pilgrimagetraveler.com
Bad luck ! Take the Elétrico or taxi or walk...But that’s not as close to my apartment!
OK, we're done packing, and leaving for the airport in two hours. Our lovely friends in Lisbon are picking us up at the airport and giving us a bed for the first night, so this will truly be a luxury pilgrimage.
Wonderful - much appreciated 2nd Camino in the planningThere is a TON of information on the forum about the route from Lisbon. With the search function (the far right icon on the blue line across the top), you plug in your search terms and will see opinions on each and every aspect of the caminho.
There are a couple of excellent resources too --
