Getting to Porto

Unless you are coming early to spend time in Lisbon, the best airport to fly into is Porto, which is roughly one hour from Paço da Glória.

Transportation from the airport to Porto:

1. Metro: There is a metro station at the airport which goes toward the city center (Line E-Purple Line) It takes about 30 minutes, depending on where you get off, and will cost a couple of euros per person.

2. Taxi: For ease, you can get a taxi or a shuttle. The drive is about 20 minutes from the airport to the city and will cost roughly 40 euros for a taxi.

3. Car Rental: You can rent a car from companies such as SIXT, Europcar and Hertz available inside the Porto airport. There is also a company Cael, that often has more cost-effective rental fees, although their rental station is located outside of the airport terminal, about a 5 minute walk.

   Just be aware that parking in the city center might be challenging sometimes, so please allow yourself sufficient time, specially if you are coming to our welcome event.
