Question 1

Accepted Answer

Yes. easyJet offers direct flights to Porto from the following airports: Bristol, Glasgow, London Gatwick, London Luton, and Manchester. Tickets for these flights will be especially in demand from July to August during peak season. If you're planning to visit Porto at this time, be sure to book with us in advance to get the best prices.

Question 2

Is Porto an expensive city?

Accepted Answer

Porto is pretty inexpensive to visit compared to other Western European cities. You can stop by various churches and monuments without paying entrance fees, and a lower cost of living compared to London brings down prices for everything from accommodation to food.

Government initiatives mean getting around the city can be quite cheap, too. Porto's Andante Tour Cards provide one to three days' unlimited access to its public transportation systems for a low upfront cost. You can also get a Porto Card, a sightseeing pass that offers free admission or admission discounts to frequently visited places throughout the city, 15% discounts in certain restaurants and stores, and even free access to public transport for an additional fee.

You can make your trip even more affordable by travelling in the off-season months of May, June, and September, which promise ideal weather conditions without the crowds. However, take note that the actual costs of your holiday may still vary depending on your personal travel preferences.

Question 3

What's the signature food of Porto?

Accepted Answer

If there's one food to eat while you're in Porto, it's definitely francesinha. Translating to "little French girl". this ham, sausage, and steak sandwich, topped with melted cheese and a beer-based tomato sauce, is often referred to as both the city's signature dish and the Portuguese version of the croque monsieur. For an authentic experience, eat it with a side of fries and a fried egg, then wash everything down with a nice glass of Port.

Question 4

Is Porto a walkable city?

Accepted Answer

Porto is very walkable. Many major attractions are in the same part of the city: a 12-minute walk can take you from Porto Cathedral to Lello Bookstore, for example, and from there, Cl&eacute;rigos Tower is only three minutes away. Shopping districts and restaurant streets like the Rua de Santa Catarina and Rua das Flores are also car-free zones, encouraging you to stroll around and immerse yourself directly in the local atmosphere. However, be warned: many of the streets in Porto climb uphill at a steep angle. You may want to get some cardio in before your holiday!

Question 5

How many days in Porto is enough?

Accepted Answer

Porto is relatively small, so two full days can definitely help you get a feel of what the city's all about. Take your first day to walk around the city centre, visit famous historical Porto landmarks like the Dom Luis I Bridge and the Palacio da Bolsa, sample some of Porto's famed port wine from the Vila Nova de Gaia, and indulge in authentic Portuguese cuisine at the city's many restaurants. Your second day can be spent checking out various museums and exploring the Ribeira district. You can even book easyJet holiday day trips that take you out to the wider Douro Valley. And if you want to see more of the city, spending a couple extra days in Porto can be a great way to discover more of its hidden gems.

Question 6

What is Porto famous for?

Accepted Answer

Porto's location along the Douro River makes it famous for producing port, a sweet fortified wine that only this city could export until the late '80s. Yet due to its rich history, Porto is also known for being a UNESCO World Heritage site and a National Area of Portugal that's one of the oldest historical centres in Europe. Today, many of the city's visitors come to marvel at its strong artistic culture, which is present in baroque buildings like the S&atilde;o Bento train station and the works you can view in contemporary museums like the Serralves.

Question 7

What are the best things to do in Porto for couples?

Accepted Answer

A holiday in Porto makes for a great romantic getaway. The city's wine lodges are ideal for romantic dinners, and you can take your partner on the cable cars that run alongside the Douro River for a slow-paced ride near the water. Have a leisurely stroll through the city's museums, plan a classy date to watch concerts at the Casa da Musica, or set up picnics at the Jardins do Palacio de Cristal. When the day comes to a close, you can head up to Miradouro da Serra do Pilar and watch the sunset over the city, then walk along the waterfront at the Ribiera come nightfall.

Question 8

How do you get to central Porto from the airport?

Accepted Answer

If you're picking up a rental car after you touch down, the A28 motorway will take you directly from Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport to Porto's city centre in half an hour. Otherwise, you can take a bus or try the metro, which can get you downtown just as quickly! However, it closes at 1 AM. If your flight comes in between then and 6 AM, or if you're looking to be dropped off directly at your accommodation, it can be worth hailing a cab.
