Alternative Transport Options: Lisbon Airport to Setúbal

While a private transfer offers the most comfort and convenience, you do have other transport options available:

Public Transport (Train + Metro)

You can take the Lisbon Metro from the airport to Roma-Areeiro or Sete Rios station, then catch the Fertagus train toward Setúbal. The journey takes approximately 90 to 120 minutes and costs around €5–€7, but involves multiple transfers, handling luggage on stairs and platforms, and waiting times.

Taxi or Ride-Sharing Apps (Uber, Bolt)

Standard taxis from Lisbon Airport to Setúbal cost approximately €50–€65, depending on traffic and time of day. Uber and Bolt can be cheaper (€40–€55) but are subject to surge pricing during peak hours. You may also have to wait for availability, especially during busy travel times.

Rental Car

Renting a car gives you flexibility, but you’ll need to navigate Lisbon traffic, pay for motorway tolls, arrange parking in Setúbal, and return the vehicle later. Daily rental rates start around €25–€40 plus fuel and insurance.
