How do I get to Ericeira from Lisbon?

Ericeira is just 35km northwest of Lisbon, making it one of the most accessible surf towns in Europe.

By car: Take the A21 motorway from Lisbon - it's a straight 30–40 minute drive depending on traffic. From Lisbon airport (LIS), head north on the A1 then take the A21 exit toward Ericeira/Mafra. Tolls are minimal (around €2). There's free parking throughout town, though summer weekends can get busy near the beaches.

By bus: Mafrense operates regular buses from Lisbon's Campo Grande terminal (next to the metro station). The journey takes about 75 minutes and costs around €7 one-way. Buses run roughly every hour from early morning to late evening.

By taxi/Uber: A ride from Lisbon airport costs €40–60 depending on traffic and time of day. Bolt (the local ride-hailing app) tends to be slightly cheaper than Uber in Portugal.
