FROM OPORTO AIRPORT TO AVEIRO: At Oporto Airport you can take a taxi to the main railway station Campanha (or the busses Nr. 56 and 87 to the terminal, then Nr. 32 to Campanha). The taxi fare is about 15 Euro and the train fare to Aveiro is 3-10 Euro. There are different types of trains, cheap local trains ("Suburbanos"), which departing every hour and need one hour to arrive in Aveiro, and more expensive fast trains ("Alfas" or "IC", timetable can be found below). If you are part of a group you can consider the possibility of taking a taxi directly to Aveiro. It costs about 60 Euro (12000PTE) and you are advised to confirm the price with the driver beforehand. You can ask for a receipt. Another possibility is the airport shuttle (AeroBus), which connects the airport with various hotels in Oporto (580 PTE, passengers of TAP can use it free of charge). To continue to Aveiro directly we suggest to leave the bus at "Aliados" and take a local train ("Suburbano", free of charge) from "Sao Bento" to "Campanha" or directly to Aveiro (Direction "Coimbra", ticket about 3 Euro).
