CP has a vast network of ticket offices in the stations throughout the country. Here you will receive personalised attention and can find all sorts in information as well as buy your tickets.

Only Alfa Pendular and Intercidades tickets are sold by the Multibanco ATM machines. You can buy a ticket as much as 21 days before your journey or as little as 15 minutes before your train leaves. The paper slip is your proof of purchase and shows your seat number.

CP has agreements with some 50 travel agents. You can buy tickets across the whole country up to 30 days before your journey from more than 150 branches. As Agências de Viagens podem aplicar taxas pelos serviços prestados.

It is now possible to get your tickets through the Internet. The possibility is available for the Alfa Pendular and Intercidades services. To make a ticket purchase, you have to be registered in myCP and have a MBnet card or recognised credir card.

These automatic ticket vending machines are available 24 hours a day in all the urban stations. You have to indicate your destination and the kind of ticket you want and you can pay in coins, notes or debit card.

Alfa Pendular and Intercidades tickets can be bought from the Long-distance Ticket Vending Machines using a credit or debit card. The slip issued by the machine works as both a ticket and a reservation. These tickets can be bought between 30 days and 5 minutes before the train leaves.

The ticket inspectors on the trains can sell tickets on the Regional trains if the station where you got on did not have a ticket office or if it was temporarily closed at the time.
