PRACTICAL PORTO

Getting around Porto

Porto is best explored on foot, with the metro, tram or a short taxi ride when the hills begin to slow you down.

Where you stay shapes the day. Choosing an area close to the places you want to explore can mean fewer rides, fewer hills and more time to enjoy Porto. Explore our guide to choosing where to stay in Porto.

Choose where to stay in Porto

Walk the Centre

Most central streets are easy on foot. Save the hills for later and use a short ride when the next stop is uphill.

Use Metro and Tram

For longer jumps, the metro is straightforward. Take the historic tram when you want the journey to be part of the day.

Call a Taxi When Needed

Taxis and ride-hailing are useful after dinner, with luggage or when travelling with children.
