| Recommendation |
North of the Tagus: Although there is still no high speed train for the journey between Lisbon and Braga (including Porto), the train remains the most convenient and fastest means of transport. Train tickets can be bought at automatic ticket machines. South of the Tagus: Especially for the Algarve, the bus has been the means of transport favoured by most. However, since 2005, the railway has grown to cross the Tagus and ensures good links with the south of the country. |

| Paying |
A foreigner in Portugal can easily withdraw money at ATMs, which are called 'Caixas Multibanco' and designated with blue 'MB' signs. In recent years, the network of ATMs in Portugal has multiplied rapidly, increased the range of services offered and has created a deep network. Some services offered at ATMs include: withdrawing money, paying utility bills (water, electricity, gas, telephone, etc.), paying taxes, paying fines, transferring money, recharging a mobile phone (if the chip is Portuguese), buying train tickets, buying concert tickets and signing up electronically for standing orders. Cash or credit cards are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, hotels and cafes. However, American Express cards are not widely accepted. |
