From Lisbon to Galicia with a private chauffeur
One vehicle from Lisbon airport to your hotel in Santiago, Vigo or A Coruña. Stop in Porto or Coimbra on the way if you like.
Why so many travelers reach Galicia through Lisbon
Lisbon has direct flights from the US, Canada and Brazil that Galicia simply does not have. Many travelers land there and head north: Porto, the Portuguese Camino and Santiago de Compostela.
By train you change in Porto, and the Porto – Vigo line only runs a couple of times a day. A rental car means cross-border drop-off fees and electronic tolls. With a private chauffeur, one vehicle takes you from the arrivals hall to your hotel door.
Luxe Galicia works with a partner agency in Lisbon and coordinates the whole journey to anywhere in Galicia.
