Mirandela Travel Guide

Mirandela is well served by bus connections. There are many buses connecting Mirandela to nearby cities, Porto and Lisbon throughout the day. Most buses to/from Lisbon take around 8 hours to make the trip, but there are a few ones that do it in just 6 hours. Check the schedules at one of the following companies: "Rodonorte", "Santos" or "Rede Expressos". Nearly all buses to/from Lisbon will make a stopover at the Oriente Station there, which is the major transportation hub of the capital. So that's a good place to search for buses and timetables.

The old bridge might be lovely and just a three-minute cross, but you should take some precautions at night. Before crossing, check the bridge's occupation. If you see quite a few people along the bridge, then it's safe to cross. But if you see no one, or even less than half a dozen people along the whole extention of it, consider to avoid crossing it, and choosing the better lightened road bridge just 25m away instead. Do this especially if you're alone! This is because you may happen to come across unfriendly teenagers, drunkards or gypsies, who enjoy creating trouble sometimes.
