Add that the bus station in Albufeira is about a mile from 'The Strip' and the train station is 4 miles away! Cost/time of that ride to be added.

The fastest train (0706am) takes just under three hours to get to Lisbon; buses take between 3 and 4 hours.

Bus and train one-way is between €18 and €24 ish; ie dirt cheap compared with UK.

A day trip is possible but it's a long ol' day! The best bit was sitting in the train on the way back, numerous beers with friends and seeing the countryside go by.

Can't do that (drink I mean) on a bus.
