App overview — Travel by rail in Portugal made simple
Comboios de Portugal (CP) is a no-cost Android application designed to simplify planning and purchasing rail travel within Portugal. It supports tickets for mainline services and city commuter lines, lets you include fellow travelers on a booking, and works even when you have no internet connection.
Principal features
- View timetables while offline so you can check departures and arrivals without mobile data.
- Use GPS to discover which trains call at the station closest to your current location.
- Buy fares for Alfa Pendular and Intercidades services directly in the app.
- Add additional passengers to an existing reservation in a few taps.
- Purchase journey supplements for Regional, InterRegional and Porto/Coimbra urban services.
Why it’s useful
The interface is straightforward and keeps the most common tasks — checking schedules, buying tickets, and managing passengers — fast and accessible. Offline timetable access and location-aware station info make it practical for travel in areas with limited connectivity.
Download and support
The app is free on the Google Play Store. If you need guidance, there is a Portuguese-language tutorial video available and a support/contact option provided on the app’s Google Play page for questions or technical help.
Alternative option
