Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport

Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport is about 11 km northwest of central Porto. By taxi or car the trip usually takes 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. Metro line E covers the route from the airport station to Trindade, in the heart of the city, in about 27 minutes, with connections to other lines from there.

No. The airport lies outside the city limits, about 11 km northwest of central Porto, in the wider metropolitan area. It is still closely linked to the city by Metro line E, STCP buses and the A28, A41 and A4 motorways, so most visitors reach their hotel in under an hour.

Porto airport has one passenger terminal, opened in its current form in 2006. It handles all domestic, Schengen and international flights, with separate areas for Schengen and non-Schengen departures. The Metro station is directly beneath the building, and the taxi rank, bus stops and rideshare zone are along the arrivals kerb outside.

TAP Air Portugal, Ryanair and easyJet run many of the routes, alongside Transavia, Vueling, Wizz Air, Volotea and Eurowings. Lufthansa, Air France, KLM, Iberia, British Airways and Turkish Airlines connect Porto to their hubs. Long-haul flights go to Newark, New York–JFK, Boston, Toronto, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, among others. All use the single terminal.

The official taxi rank is directly outside the arrivals exit of the terminal. Licensed taxis use meters, and the trip to central Porto takes about 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. Use the marked rank rather than accepting offers from people inside the arrivals hall, and confirm the destination before setting off.

Yes. Metro do Porto line E (the violet line) starts at Aeroporto station, directly below the terminal, and runs to Trindade in about 27 minutes. At Trindade you can change to other lines, including line D to São Bento. You need an Andante card, validated at the yellow readers, and trains run until around midnight.

Yes. Uber and Bolt both operate at Porto airport. Pickups take place in the TVDE zone at the far northern end of the arrivals kerb: turn right after leaving the terminal and walk past the taxi rank and bus stops, about two to three minutes. Drivers are not allowed to stop directly outside the arrivals exit.

Yes. When the Metro is closed, the STCP 3M night bus leaves the airport at half past the hour between 00:30 and 05:30 and runs to Avenida dos Aliados in central Porto. During the day, STCP lines 601 and 602 link the airport with Cordoaria, near the Clérigos Tower, though they are slower than the Metro.

Portugal is in the Schengen Area, so travelers from outside it pass passport control on arrival. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check passport validity and any visa needs for your nationality before you fly.

The GetBUS shuttle runs from the airport to Braga and Guimarães, with a journey time of about 50 minutes. Taxis, rental cars and private transfers also cover the route by motorway. Both cities are popular day trips or bases for exploring the Minho region north of Porto, and both have plenty of hotels and guesthouses for overnight stays.

The Douro Valley lies east of Porto and is not served by the Metro. Most travelers drive, take a taxi or private transfer, or ride Metro line E into Porto and continue by train from Campanhã or São Bento stations along the Douro line. A rental car gives the most freedom to visit quintas and riverside villages.

Porto uses Western European Time, UTC+0, moving to UTC+1 for daylight saving time from late March to late October. The currency is the euro, and cards are widely accepted. The climate is mild Atlantic, with warm summers and cool, rainy winters, so a light rain jacket is useful outside the summer months.

Porto airport is operated by ANA Aeroportos de Portugal, part of VINCI Airports. It handled about 16.9 million passengers in 2025, up from about 15.9 million in 2024. It has one runway, 3,480 m long, and has served the city since 1945, originally under the name Pedras Rubras Airport.
