The most convenient and economical option to get from Lisbon to Portimão is to use direct bus connections such as Flixbus or Rede Expressos. The journey usually takes about 3.5 hours, and tickets can be bought online at very favorable prices. The buses are modern, air-conditioned, and offer free Wi-Fi.
After arriving at the bus or train station in Portimão, the easiest way to get directly to Rua Antonio Feu (Edifício Rio à Vista building) is by ordering a ride via the Uber or Bolt app – the cost of such a trip within the city is usually about 5 €.
