Driving offers flexibility to explore at your own pace.

The distance between Porto and Lisbon is approximately 310-330 km (198-205 miles) via the A1 motorway. Driving offers the most flexibility, but navigating city traffic and finding parking in Lisbon can be challenging. Toll charges on the A1 motorway are significant and can be paid at booths (cash/card) or via an electronic transponder. An alternative, non-toll route (N1/IC2) exists but adds at least 1.5 hours to the journey time and can be more congested.
