Portugal
Its compact size, modern highways, and efficient coach operators make buses one of the easiest ways to travel through Portugal. Vehicles are typically clean, punctual, and comfortable, and the Portuguese intercity coach system is definitely one of Europe’s best values. The most prominent operators are Rede Expressos (above) and FlixBus. Sample routes/fares:
- Lisbon → Porto: Three to three and a half hours, €5–€15 ($5.50–$16.50 USD)
- Lisbon → Faro: Three to four hours, €10–€20 ($11–$22 USD)
- Lisbon → Braga: Five to six hours, €8–€22 ($9–$24 USD)
