When travelling from Lisbon Airport to the Troia Peninsula, including Comporta, Carvalhal or Setubal you only really have two possibilities. Either you will travel by taxi or your will drive your own car.
The public transport system does not really serve as an alternative to arriving by your own means.
 
Travelling by Taxi
Leave Lisbon Airport and head towards the Port of Setubal. The taxi fare should be in the region of 50 to 60 Euros. Once at the port you will need to catch the catamaran to Troia Resort.
The hotels and tourist accommodation are all located within a five minute walk from where you will disembark in Troia Marina.
If you have decided to hire a vehicle from one of the many agencies at Lisbon Airport, before you get into your car simply go outside of the Arrival’s Terminal and look over to your left. There you will see the signs for A12/Sul/Ponte Vasco da Gama. This is the direction that you will be heading if you are intending to take the easiest route to Troia.
If you are familiar with Lisbon and intend to spend some time there, you may decide to take the route via the Ponte 25 de Abril and continue on this bridge and Motorway in the direction of Alcaçer do Sal.
