Porto to Lisbon Destination Reviews

Ekene N

At the final stop in Lisbon, there was no direct link with taxi. You have to walk another 300m to access the taxi. Besides, the lift and escalator from the bus stop to where you will access the taxi lane are out of service. So you have to carry all your bags and walk down the steps each time. It was a bad idea to not have taxi directly linked up with the bus station. Overall, I ended up with back pain.
