aqua portimao

Post by mazpop »

This has probably been asked before. How far away is the aqua portimao shopping centre from cvo. And would it be expensive for taxis there and back. Is it worthwhile going at night.

Many thanks

There is a relatively good bus service from CVO to Portimao. (Daytime) The bus stop in Portimao is by the promenade. We have used it a few times and hopefully will in August. I don't know how close the bus passes to Aqua before it reaches its final stop but it does go a fair bit up the road towards the SC when it crosses over the bridge (more to do with one way streets than Aqua) the fare last year was €2.90 and you buy the return at the little bus kiosk near the bus stops.

Thanks John, was that from the taxi rank in the square in CVO to AQUA? That's a great rate and good to know.
