Porto to Salamanca
 
Is there a bus or train from Porto to Salamanca or is it easier to go to Coimbra to take the bus?

PS - no direct train, unfortunately.

Thanks, looks like the best for me is the bus from Coimbra.

Sorry, don't quite get it or am I missing something.

The Bus from Porto takes about the same time as the bus from Coimbra. Will you be leaving from Coimbra?
