No wonder that the Old Town, which spreads on the scenic Douro River, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Connections

Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport or Porto Airport is located in Maia, 11km from the city of Porto. It has good and reliable public transport connections to the city. You can get from the airport into Porto by taking the E (purple) metro line toward Estádio do Dragão; the Lapa, Trindade and Bolhão stops are nearest the city's center. Various shuttle services also ferry travelers between the airport and the city. Or, you can get a cab to or from the airport.

Porto Metro opens every day at 6 am and the last train departs at 1 am. Depending on the time of day, the metro can pass every 4 to 15 minutes. If you purchase the Porto Card or the Andante Tour Card, you’ll have unlimited access to the city’s metro system.

The buses in Porto run from approximately 6 am until 1 am. If you have the Porto Card or the Andante Tour travel card, you can get on any of the city’s buses as many times as you wish. 

With the passage of time, trams in Porto have become a popular tourist attraction rather than a means of transport.

The Funicular dos Guindais, also known as The Guindais Funicular, is an elegant and unique way of getting from one part of the city to the other.
