How to get here?
Airplane
Although the main national airport is Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon, Porto has it’s own airport - Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, which is the best and most direct way to arrive to the city.
In case you don’t have a direct flight from your location to Porto don’t worry. You have plenty of other options.
Railway
Comboios de Portugal or CP (www.cp.pt), the Portuguese railway company, offers a vast rail network covering the whole of mainland Portugal as other international routes like Vigo, Madrid, and Paris. Making train also a great option to arrive in Porto, with a number of choices available to meet your needs:
- The top-of-the-range "Alfa Pendular" is the fastest and most comfortable rail link between Lisbon and Porto, taking 3 hours.
- In turn, the "Intercidades" or Intercity service makes a few stops, taking roughly 3 and half hours.
- For a more economic option you can select the regional trains.
Find and book any of these services at www.cp.pt

If you prefer driving, this is too an option. The driving distance between Lisbon and Porto is 314 km if you take the most direct route. This means the trip between the two cities can be completed in around 3 hours.

About
Porto
Everyone who comes to Porto feels like they are coming home. They can make themselves comfortable. Striding down slopes of glossy cobble stones, asking and ordering with the ease of a local.
Some say that the North of Portugal begins in Porto, others say that it ends there. What is certain is whether it is the beginning, middle or end, Porto welcomes everything and everyone. It is history and modernity. It is river and sea. It is work and leisure. It is a never-ending party and it is melancholy.
Our doors are open for you.
