How long is the drive from lisbon Portugal to algarve Portugal?

Answer 1

Hello I am submitting driving directions from Albufeira (central location in the Algarve) to Lisbon by car.

The total distance stated is 256 Km but you should add an extra 30 minutes to the trip if you plan to travel from Faro (FAO) airport.

There is also a great option to travel by Bus or Train (prices range from 25 to 35 Euros).

If you take the highway, plan ahead to spend around 25 Euros on tolls, I recommend that you do not use the free roads as they are less safe to travel on, due to poor road conditions. Thank you for visiting Portugal, and if you need Algarve car hire services visit Algarvecarhire.pt.
