Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO) is well-connected to the city centre. The cheapest and easiest way is Metro Line E (Purple), which runs every 20 to 30 minutes. It takes about 30 minutes to reach Trindade station and costs around €2.15 for a Z4 ticket. Alternatively, you can catch an Uber or Bolt just outside arrivals; the ride to central Porto takes roughly 25 minutes and usually costs between €15 and €20.
Porto is famously hilly, so wear comfortable shoes for exploring the Ribeira. For public transport, get a rechargeable Andante card (the paper card costs €0.60) to tap on the metro and buses. Fares depend on zones, but most central trips are just a few euros. Don't miss riding one of the vintage trams, or taking the Funicular dos Guindais to save your legs on the steep climb up from the river for about €4.
While many cafes and port cellars in Porto offer free Wi-Fi, coverage drops the moment you step back into the winding, narrow alleys. Navigating the city's steep streets offline can quickly turn into a frustrating maze. A JamboSim eSIM gives you fast, reliable mobile data everywhere you go, meaning you can easily check maps, translate menus, and call a ride without hunting for an unsecured network.
When dining out, try a Francesinha—a massive, meat-filled local sandwich drenched in a rich beer and tomato sauce. Be aware that waiters often bring unsolicited appetizers (couvert) like bread, olives, or cheese to your table before the meal. These aren't free; if you eat them, they go on your bill. Just politely decline if you aren't interested. Tipping isn't strictly mandatory, but leaving a couple of euros is highly appreciated for good service.
