Those who decide to visit the charming city of Porto and want to sink immediately into the relaxed lifestyle of the city, we recommend booking a convenient taxi service from the airport of Porto. In this way you travel to the destination with fixed and cheap prices, without wasting time in the airport waiting and also encountering language problems.

Porto is the second largest city in Portugal in terms of size and importance; the nation to which it belongs takes its name from this city.

Nicknamed "A capital do Norte" (the capital of the north), since it is located in the most industrialised area of Portugal, it was named in 2001 as European Capital of Culture along with the Dutch city of Rotterdam. The visitor who arrives in this fantastic city will remain enchanted by its azulejos (glazed and decorated ceramic tiles), its churches and its different architectural styles, ranging from the Baroque to the Manueline to the Renaissance. But, the soul of Porto is in its wine, which is famous all over the world, and its lively nightlife.

What to see in Porto

Among the most interesting attractions of the city are:

• The nineteenth century station of Sao Bento: covered inside with wonderful azulejos.
• Cellars of the Port wine: an obligatory stop for those who want to taste the delicious wine.
• Lello Bookstore: founded in 1869, it is a real jewel among the city attractions.
• Dom Luis Bridge: built of iron in the XIX century, we recommend a walk (if you do not suffer from vertigo).

Porto Airport

The city airport is called Francisco Sá Carneiro, named after the Prime Minister who died due to an accident. Approximately 10 km from the centre, its annual passenger traffic is over 5 million people, despite having only one terminal.

Among the services offered there are cafeterias and shops, as well as 3 waiting rooms, lifts and sanitary facilities for disabled passengers.

The connections between the airport and the city centre are mainly by buses and taxis. The Aerobus leaves every half hour and costs €4. Its limitation is that it doesn't take you directly to your accommodation and as a result, you have to change to other means of transportation before arriving at the desired destination.

Public taxis have their location at the arrivals area; however, they apply a surcharge for excessive baggage and also on weekends. Furthermore, long waiting periods can be expected to get a public taxi. Larger groups may also mean a longer waiting time.

Porto Transports

The public transport network in Porto is very efficient. In particular, the subway enables you to move about easily. It consists of 6 lines and 81 stations covering all the areas of the city.

There are also buses, the characteristic trams, which represent a real tourist attraction in the city and finally, the Dos Guindais cable car, a panoramic lift that makes only 2 stops. However, the limitation common to all means of transport described so far is that none of them take visitors directly to their accommodation.

Porto public taxis are recognisable by their characteristic beige or black colour with the green roof and of course they are all equipped with a taximeter; as a result, no driver applies fixed rates, but the total amount to be paid is determined by the device depending on the traffic and the length of the itinerary to be covered.
