Travel to Spain - Travel from Spain to Lisbon by Train

Expert: Víctor Díaz - 6/25/2008

Question
Hi Víctor -

I am from Puerto Rico and traveling to Spain and combining this trip to Lisbon. I believe the best way to get to Lisbon is thru rail. My question is, from which part of Madrid should I take the rail. What are the schedule options. By the way, I am arriving to Madrid the 29 of July.

I will highly appreciate your response.

Thank you

Hello Jannette

The only train to Lisbon is the international Lusitania, an overnight train, operating everyday with departure from Chamartin station at 22:41

arriving to Lisboa at 7:51

Check the prices here:

cheaper ticket is 55euros.

Chamartin station is in the north of Madrid, have metro station Chamartin with lines 1 and 10.

You may also consider flying to Lisboa, there are several companies doing this route including Spanair and Iberia

But also low-cost such as Vueling and EasyJet.

these low cost mey be cheaper or similar prices to the train option. I think it can be the best option.

considering the long distance, bus is the worst option, despite is slightly cheaper, 45euros.
