Green Rail Pass
The Pass with the most benefits that allows you to travel by train throughout the country.
The Green Rail Pass is valid on CP for Portuguese and foreigners residents in Portugal and can be purchased on any day of the month and is valid for 30 consecutive days. It costs €20 a month.
This pass is loaded onto the CP Card for the desired period of validity (30, 60 or 90 days). Its validity corresponds to the type purchased and for a specific period, so a Pass holder who has not loaded it or whose validity has expired will not be able to travel and will be considered a Passenger without a ticket and subject to a fine.
It allows you to travel on any domestic route and now also on the Lisbon and Porto urban train services.
