The best way to reach Douro Scala Hotel from Lisbon is by Private Transfer.
From Lisbon, you can request pickup at your hotel/accommodation front door, or airport, with your luggage, directly to your destination in Douro Valley, without the hassle of public transportation and crowds. Specially because there are no direct trains.
