How much does the train from Lisbon to Evora cost?

Train ticket prices from Lisbon to Evora move like flight fares: the earlier you book and the quieter the departure, the less you pay. The class you choose, whether you want a refundable ticket, a seat reservation or a return, and whether children are travelling all change the total. Rather than quote a figure that will be out of date tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to travel and sends it to you in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.

Let us know for two or three departures and we send the cost of each, so you can see how much the time of day changes the Lisbon to Evora train fare. We also flag family and group fares when they apply, which is where most people save the most.

Cheapest train ticket from Lisbon to Evora: how to pay less

Getting the lowest fare on the train from Lisbon to Evora is a matter of timing and flexibility. These are the levers Haqqi Tours pulls to find you a cheap train ticket:

• Ask about children's, youth and senior fares - most operators on this route discount them
• Book both directions together - a return or two singles, whichever comes out cheaper on your dates
• Choose a fixed-departure ticket if your plans are certain; flexible tickets cost more
• For families and groups, ask about group fares - four or more travellers often unlock a lower rate
• Book early - fares on this route open weeks or months ahead and the lowest tiers sell first
• Travel mid-week and mid-day - Tuesday to Thursday departures after the morning rush are normally the cheapest

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest train from Lisbon to Evora that day, and how much you would save by moving to the next one.

Timetable of the Lisbon to Evora train

The exact Lisbon to Evora train times change with the season and the day of the week, so we send the timetable for your specific date rather than a list that may be wrong by the time you read it. As a rule the service runs 4 a day, each taking around 1 hour 30 minutes. Weekend timetables are sometimes thinner in the early morning; holiday periods add extra trains and sell out earlier.

If you are connecting to a flight or another train at Evora, tell us: we build in a safe margin and choose a departure that leaves room for a delay.

There is a direct train from Lisbon to Evora operated by CP Intercidades, and it is the one we book unless you ask for something different. One ticket covers the whole journey; you keep your seat from Lisbon Oriente to Évora; children and luggage stay in one place. It runs 4 a day.

Departure: Lisbon Oriente

The train from Lisbon to Evora leaves from Lisbon Oriente, in Lisbon - lisbon is the capital of Portugal, a city of seven hills and trams above the Tagus estuary, with Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) unusually close - about 7 km north-east of the centre; the Alfama, Baixa and Chiado quarters are at its heart, Belém along the river, and Sintra, Cascais and the Estoril coast within 30 km. Plan to be at the station about 20 to 30 minutes before departure: enough to find the platform on the boards, pass any ticket gate or security check the station uses, and board without hurrying. Getting there: The metro's Red Line runs from the airport and reaches the centre with one change in about 30 minutes, and the Aerobus stops at fixed points; both are fine with a cabin bag, but Lisbon's hills, cobbles and old lifts make suitcases hard work, and Sintra or Cascais mean a further train, so a car to the door is the easier arrival.

• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your accommodation in Lisbon to the station on request
• Ask us which hall or level your train leaves from - big stations have more than one
• Arrive 20-30 minutes early; the platform is shown on the boards shortly before departure
• Keep the e-ticket on your phone and the ID used for booking together - some operators check both

Arrival: Évora

Arrival is at Évora, and this is the moment the train wins over the plane: no baggage belt, no passport queue, no airport bus. Évora is the walled museum-city of the Alentejo, with the Roman temple, the bone chapel and the cork oak plains around. We can have a Haqqi Tours driver at the exit with your name, or simply tell you the best way to your hotel by metro or taxi.

Many passengers continue from Evora to somewhere else the next day. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Things to do in Evora after the train

Évora is the walled museum-city of the Alentejo, with the Roman temple, the bone chapel and the cork oak plains around. Arriving by train puts you in the middle of it: the Chapel of Bones, the cathedral roof, the Almendres cromlech and the Roman temple are all reachable from Évora by public transport or a few minutes by taxi.

If you want the day in Evora organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it in the WhatsApp chat.
