Getting There
GETTING TO ALBUFEIRA
Option 1 – fly into Faro, which is ~30min drive to the venue. You can either rent a car or easily hire a taxi or Uber.
Option 2 – fly into Lisbon and take the train down to Albufeira. We recommend booking your train tickets in advance:

Make sure you double check time tables (note they will be in military time). We recommend buying these asap, since right now ~1/3rd of the train’s seats are blocked off to allow for social distancing.
