  • I think “unlimited” is a way too big word considering all the limitations, I’m not even sure what’s left after these:

    Unlike Germany’s identically priced travel pass, however, the Portuguese ticket is not available on buses or on intercity trains such as the Alfa Pendular, Intercidades, InterRegional and Internacional services.

    It is also not valid for urban networks in Porto, Lisbon and Coimbra.

    Where is Portugal’s €49 rail pass valid? The new national train pass can be used on most regional services around the country, but there are a couple of excluded areas.

    Both the Alentejo Litoral and the Coimbra area are not participating in the scheme.

    This means the pass is not valid on routes including Régua-Pocinho (Douro Line), Coimbra-Figueira da Foz (suburban Coimbra), Pinhal Novo-Évora and Pinhal Novo-Vila Nova da Baronia (Alentejo Line), and Pinhal Novo-Tunes (Southern Line).





  • Exactly. I was in Sweden recently and it’s opressive how difficult it is to use cash. For everything it’s only card or apps, I didn’t even bother to get any local cash. But I had a few SEK from years ago and I couldn’t use them.

    In Portugal is not on the constitution but it’s law, a business cannot force the client to pay by other means if the client has enough cash to make the payment for payments under 3000€ (above this you actually can’t pay cash by the same law :P).
