Getting to Porto city centre from the airport
Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport is 11 km north: allow 25 to 40 minutes to the Ribeira depending on the time of day.
Our chauffeurs track your flight and wait in the arrivals hall with a name sign. Waiting time is included (60 minutes after landing).
For the Douro Valley (a UNESCO-listed wine region), we provide day transfers with a chauffeur: Pinhão is 1.5 hours away.

Where to stay in Porto
- Ribeira — The UNESCO-listed historic heart, right on the banks of the Douro.
- Baixa & Cedofeita — Central, commercial, and close to everything.
- Vila Nova de Gaia — On the other side of the river, with views of Porto and cellars within walking distance.
- Foz — Where the Douro meets the sea; seaside and chic.
Good to know
- The historic centre is very steep: bring comfortable shoes.
- For a day in the Douro Valley, a dedicated chauffeur is more flexible than the train and allows for tasting stops.
- Child seats and boosters are provided free of charge upon request.
