Rail Europe has added Portugal’s national rail operator, CP – Comboios de Portugal, EPE, to its B2B platform.

Comboios de Portugal joins Renfe, iryo and OUIGO Spain, so travel advisors can build Spain and Portugal into one itinerary, in one place.

Beyond Lisbon and Porto, travellers can visit Aveiro’s canals, medieval Guimarães, Roman Évora, Templar Tomar. For those more inclined to rural diversions, take the train which runs east from Porto up the Douro Valley to discover Portugal’s premier wine region.

Beyond the pass, individual Comboios de Portugal tickets now sit alongside rail passes, so agents can choose whichever suits the trip.

Portugal was among the top five destinations Rail Europe’s API partners asked for in a recent survey. Adding it is another step towards its goal of bringing more of Europe’s rail network into one place to sell and book.

Rail Europe’s system will handle bookings for most direct trains from Spain to Portugal. These include the direct night train to Lisbon from Madrid, Ávila, Burgos, Irun, Medina del Campo, San Sebastián, Valladolid and Vitoria.

Passengers need to book and reserve their seats in advance for most long-distance rail services in Portugal.

Earlier this year, Rail Europe added Italian regional carrier Arenaways to its rail portfolio.
