Transport to and from Portugal

Portugal Freight Forwarding & Logistics – Flexilogistik

At the far west of Europe, Portugal is both a gateway to the Atlantic and a crucial link in the Iberian transport network. At Flexilogistik, we provide reliable, efficient, and tailored freight forwarding services to and from Portugal – not only between Germany and Portugal, but also between Portugal and our other European partner countries.

​

Portugal’s Geography and Trade Position

Portugal occupies the western edge of the Iberian Peninsula, bordered by Spain on the mainland and the Atlantic Ocean along its western and southern coasts. While its maritime access supports international trade, Portugal’s location at the very edge of the continent can present challenges for time-critical road freight.

​

The country can be divided into five main regions – Northern Portugal, Central Portugal, Greater Lisbon, Alentejo, and the Algarve – with most major urban and economic centres located along the coast.

​

Transport Infrastructure in Portugal

Over the past 25 years, with the help of EU funding, Portugal has significantly upgraded its transport infrastructure. Its motorway network now extends over 1,100 km and is largely subject to tolls. This network connects key coastal hubs with inland regions and facilitates faster links to Spain and the rest of Europe.

​

Nevertheless, the distance from central Europe means road transport to Portugal requires precise scheduling and efficient route planning. Truck transport from Germany to Portugal typically takes several days, depending on the departure and destination points, making experienced logistics management essential.
