Brothers and Sisters,
I'm thinking of how to get to Boom from Lisbon on Thursday, Aug. 14th. I won't be able to catch the Boom Bus (it leaves from Lisbon only on the 11th and 12th). There's a train from Lisbon to Castelo Branco, right? The train website was down when I last tried Does anyone know how regular the train from Lisbon to Castelo is and how long it will take? Also, how can I get from Castelo Branco to Boom (Jingabé you say it's 38 km, right?)

I'm sorry if this information was posted earlier. I've been through some sections of this thread, but not all

You can buy a ticket for the BOOM Bus that will take you directly form Madrid Aiport to the festival site. It costs 85 € + 3 € paypal fee and you can buy it directly on BOOM website. The problem is that there is only one, and it leaves on the 11th August at 20h00

From Lisbon you would have two buses daily on the 11th and the 12th and from Porto you would have one daily, also on the 11th or the 12th.

Have you already bought your flight ticket?

If you are unable to catch BOOM Bus at 20h00 in Madrid the 11th, your best option is to buy a return flight (as I don't think you can buy a one-way ticket for BOOM Bus) from Madrid to Porto with Ryanair for just € 19.98 (checked the price today) that arrives at 11h30 and would give you time to catch the BOOM Bus at 12h00, and for only € 55 + € 2 paypal fee. The ticket guarantes your return trip on the BOOM Bus back to Porto airport to catch you flight back to Madrid. It would even cost you less than the BOOM bus ticket from Madrid.

Of course, if you are able to catch BOOM Bus in Madrid don't hesitate. If not, I think this is an option to consider. But don't take to long as flights Madrid - Porto will surelly not be available at this price for long. I took the same flight last weekend and it cost me 65 €. If by any misfortune the flight from Madrid would arrive late you could still catch a bus (www.rede-expressos.pt) from Porto to Castelo Branco (38km from Boom) for 14.80 €.

Hope this helps.
