How to get to Mealhada Portugal by train
Traveling from Lisbon to Mealhada by train is a convenient and cheap option that saves time and hassle. Taking the train allows you to relax, enjoy the scenery and avoid the stress of driving. Moreover, it is recommended that you book tickets a few weeks in advance as prices are cheaper. You can check the prices and booking availability using Omio’s website or mobile app.
Typically, train journeys to Mealhada take around 2h 31m. However, this varies depending on the day of the week and holiday schedules. If you’re looking for a cheap deal, try to depart from a less popular time and make sure that your ticket includes all necessary amenities (such as a sleeping bag or towel).
The best way to find the cheapest tickets to Mealhada is to book well in advance. Generally, the Portuguese trains sell out quickly on popular routes. The Comboios de Portugal CP service to Mealhada has a price range of EUR16-EUR20 per ticket when bought a few weeks in advance. Usually, first class tickets are available but only the Alpha-Pendular trains offer this. However, in practice this just means you get a few extra luxuries such as a blanket or a small snack, and seats are only slightly larger and more comfortable than second class.
If you’re travelling by bus, Rede Expressos and Infobus have regular services. Be aware that some buses may be quite full and it’s always good to reserve in advance.
