Transportation to Ponte de Lima

Time of past OR future Camino
Camino Ingles 2016
Camino Portuguese 2017
Well we completed the camino Ingles last fall and are now looking at part of the camino Portuguese next fall. I need to get to Ponte de Lima and would like to find the most efficient mode of transportation. We will fly into Lisbon then can fly to a smaller airport then bus, or bus (train?) all the way, etc.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-

Hi! :)

In my opinion, the easiest option would be flying to Porto.
From Porto airport you can take a bus to Ponte de Lima.
I'm not sure how many companies do this service but I know Barquense does it: http://www.barquense.com/v2/images/expresso-aeroporto.pdf

There are other options to go from Lisboa to Ponte de Lima but I would consider them a little more complicated (and boring), specially for a big group.

We are starting in Ponte de Lima on Easter Sunday. Looks like the bus runs later in the morning so it would arrive to late to start hiking so we have decided to take the morning train to Viana do Castelo and spend the morning visiting that beautiful city and them catch a bus to Ponte de Lima in the afternoon.

We are flying into Lisbon and taking the train to Porto

I would like to walk the river route in Tui next month. I can see on google maps exactly where it starts, but it seems a bit overgrown. Has anybody used this route this year or last year...
Hello, my friend of 50+ years and I are on our first Camino walk. We are looking for: 1) safe, comfortable hostels in Lisbon; 2) stages from Lisbon to Porto (via Tomar) in about 16 days...
Hi I have searched everywhere to see if there is a luggage service from Lisbon to Porto. I know there is from Porto to Santiago, but Lisbon ???. Thanks for any info.
