Lisbon Airport to Comporta
Updated · by GetVoolo, Lisbon
Short answer: Comporta is about 117 km south, 1 h 15 to 1 h 30 by car over the Vasco da Gama or 25 de Abril bridge and the A2/A12. There is no practical public transport: buses are few and need changes. The scenic alternative is to get to Setúbal and take the ferry to Tróia (about 25 minutes), 13 km from Comporta. A pre-booked driver on GetVoolo is estimated at €102–€138 per car. If you'll want a car during your stay anyway, renting one at the airport may make more sense.

Hire car or driver?
In Comporta, houses, beaches and restaurants are spread out along the coast, and many visitors rent a car. If you’ll be driving during your stay, pick one up at the airport. A driver makes sense if you won’t need a car (say, a hotel with everything on site), if you arrive tired after a long flight, if you’re travelling as a group or with children (vans for up to 7, child seats on request), or if you’d rather rent later, once you’re there.
The Setúbal–Tróia ferry shortcut
- From the airport to Setúbal is about 50 km (35–40 minutes by car).
- In Setúbal, Atlantic Ferries crosses to Tróia from Doca do Comércio in about 25 minutes. In winter there is a crossing every hour; in summer, every 30 minutes.
- From Tróia to Comporta is 13 km by main road. Buses are rare, so plan on a car or a pre-arranged taxi.
Check times, and whether you’re travelling on foot or with a car, on atlanticferries.pt. The ferry is a lovely way to arrive, but from the airport it is rarely the quickest.
