Buses, Trains and Taxis
The Algarve offers a limited network of bus and train routes. Both depart from Faro city (not the airport) to Lagos where you can catch a connecting bus or taxi to Praia da Luz (around 10 minutes). Taxis are more plentiful in the region but it is recommended to pre-book a transfer or car hire before arrival.
