Travel Information
Porto is served by a modern airport, Francisco Sá Carneiro, which is located in the heart of the industrial north of the country, 11km from the city of Porto, making it a privileged access point. When arriving in Portugal through another city, like Lisbon or Faro, a connection flight to Porto will take around 30 min.
The train (3 hours from Lisbon in “Alfa Pendular” or 6 hours from Faro) and rent a car (3 hours from Lisbon using “A1” highway or 6 hours from Faro using “A2” and then “A1” highways) are also valid options.
