From Oriente, you can travel to Évora either by train or by bus.

To reach the train station follow the signs marked Comboios (‘Trains’). Tickets can be purchased in advance on the CP website ( https://www.cp.pt/pt/) or at the ticket office. The train journey from Oriente station to Évora takes approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes.
