Are there toilets on train from Lisbon to Porto?

From Braga to Faro, Lisbon to Oporto, morning, afternoon or evening, the Alfa Pendular helps you manage your time. You can enjoy free Wi-Fi, nappy changing facilities, toilets and seats reserved and adapted for people with reduced mobility.



Yes, all trains operating the popular route between Lisbon and Porto are equipped with clean and accessible toilets (WCs). This journey is primarily served by two types of trains: the high-speed Alfa Pendular (AP) and the Intercidades (IC). On the Alfa Pendular, which is the premium option reaching speeds of 220 km/h, you will find modern restrooms at the ends of almost every carriage. These are generally well-maintained and include features like touchless sinks and baby-changing tables. The Intercidades trains also have toilets in every car, though they may feel slightly more "traditional" in design compared to the high-speed fleet. On both trains, the restrooms are free for passengers to use throughout the roughly 3-hour journey. In 2026, the Portuguese rail operator (CP - Comboios de Portugal) continues to prioritize passenger comfort on this "backbone" route, ensuring that amenities like Wi-Fi, power outlets, and functional restrooms are standard to compete with domestic flights and bus travel.
