The Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, in Porto, is 80km North of Aveiro. It is the closest airport to Aveiro. There is also the Lisbon airport, 250km South of Aveiro and reachable by train. It is also possible (but less advisable) to fly to Faro Airport – 500km south of Aveiro

The best way to reach Aveiro is by train, from the Porto-Campanhã train station: there are three kinds of trains linking the two cities. Alfa Pendular (AP) are the fastest ones, reaching Aveiro in about 47 minutes. Tickets cost 15,10€ (1st class) or 20,80€ (2nd class). Intercidades (IC) trains take about 53 minutes to cover the distance, and tickets cost 13,20€ (1st class) or 12,20€ (2nd class). There are also suburban (U) trains linking the two cities, but these take around 1h10m to reach Aveiro and could be packed with passengers, depending on hour you choose to travel. Tickets for these trains cost 3,55€ and are loaded on a card that must be bought by 0,50€. Timetables for trains are available at www.cp.pt, tickets for Alfa Pendular and Intercidades trains can also be bought online on this website, and they might be cheaper if bought in advance.
