This is the kind of video all airports should aspire to have on their website. Arriving tired and overwhelmed in a strange country, showing exactly how to get from arrivals to the ticket machines, how to use them and validate your ticket is unbelievably useful. Such a simple idea but priceless for travelers arriving for the first time. Thank you so much for the time you took to put this video together.
Thanks Joe, we try to explain things the way we would like to be explained things when we travel to a country we don't know. If we have succeeded, we're happy!
Totally agree of what you said. Such overwhelming when you are so new to the place and system would be shocked. Just a personal experience of us in Budapest, we have no idea of this validation of tickets, as there some personnel checking in the metro we end up being fined for not validating our tickets. This video is helpful for allowing us to travel to Porto.
@@annexplores3933 thanks, Ann!
I just came here to see if there was a video on the Andante card and how to head to the city centre from the airport.. and you 've just posted this video 6 hours ago! Thank you so much! Obrigada! ❤

Ola Tony! Thanks so much for this service. Obrigado!
Por nada!
Most informative travel channel on TH-cam!
Delighted to hear that!
Gracias por el vídeo. Este vídeo, el de Lisboa y el de Madrid me ayudaron bastante en mi viaje.
¡Genial, nos alegramos!
Thank you, Tony, for all the information you provided. We just returned from a trip to Lisbon, Sintra and Porto. We had a sonderful time in Portugal thanks to your information. Your videos were an invaluable resource. Thanks for taking the time to make these wonderful videos.
We are extremely delighted to hear that, Nina!
Amazing help. Very clear and i feel much more confident about getting from the airport to Porto. THANK YOU!!
Delighted to hear that!
By far one of the best explanations of any city I have been. I have also used your advises in Lisbon. Thank you!
Delighted to hear that, Lazaros!
Great work.
As a Traveller simple narration about the Public Transport System in Porto. 👍
Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much! this video is supper informative I’m traveling in 2 weeks this saves time at airport since I will be familiar with the system 😊
Our pleasure!
Wow - this was an amazing video. THANKS. Sharing it with all my Expat Friends - fantastic for visiting Friends too. I subscribed, and will be searching for other videos. Been here for only a few months, and need to understand/explore the Trains and Buses more too.
Our pleasure! The thing that confuses people the most is the issue of fare zones. Hope we did a good job attempting to explain it. All the best!
Complete video! Great! Certainly not even the city of Porto has a video or any other means of similar information. Unique quality production! I really liked!
Thanks so much, Yara!
We had the most wonderful time in Porto. We took the train from Lisbon. I can't wait to get back there.
Porto is a huge success!
Very helpful information, thank you. Do you have a video of what to see in Porto?
It's our next video on Portugal, on the air in mid-September.
Brilliant video Tony and very timely too as I am taking a trip to Porto next month. Your videos are now my "go to" for planning trips to Spanish and Portuguese major cities. Thanks for making them.
Great to hear that, George. It won't probably arrive in time for your visit, but on 17 September we are publishing our video on Porto attractions.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Ah, just 4 days too late! I will still watch that video for sure.... To see what I missed! Thanks Tony.
GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU! THe andante card .. is it good for the metro AND bus ?
Metro and bus, yes.
Where did you take the view from above of the Bridge in your opening video from . The view is so pretty can you tell me which building
From the viewpoint in front of the Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar, great views day and night.
Absolutely excellent video thank you for posting .One question is I’m arriving at airport and will be changing metro at Trindade to go to Sao bento where my hotel is I have to tap my ticket on the machine when I change lines right ?
Hi Richie, yes, you always have to tap your ticket, when changing metro lines, too.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you for all the information
Thank you so much for the information! I will be travelling to Porto next week and I was wondering if I can buy the 3 day ticket (andante tour 3) from the machine you showed at 13:44 as i can only see andante 24? Thank you very much!
To be absolutely honest with you, we don't know the answer to that. Perhaps you could ask at the tourist office at the airport. In theory they should sell those Andante cards.
Hi Tony. Many thanks for your very usefuel videos.
One question about transports from the center to the airport very early in the morning: I must arrive at the Terminal about at 4:30 in the nght, How can I do?
Thanks for your reply
Hi Zack, we would take either a Bolt or an Uber.
My wife and I are enjoying your videos. We are planning a Spain/Portugal/Morocco cruise for May of 2025. It leaves Barcelona and stops at Cadiz, Lisbon (overnight), Porto, and Tangier. We will be arriving a week before to explore Madrid and Barcelona. I saw your video on Lisbon's cruise port. Can you do a similar video on how to get from Porto's cruise port at Leioes to Porto? I prefer public transport, especially trams and metros. It looks like I can get the Metro (tram) a few blocks away from the port entrance, but how do I purchase tickets, and what ticket type is best?
Last year we were on board a cruise ship headed for Porto but the visit had to be cancelled at the last minute due to a strike by Portuguese port pilots. For that reason, we don't have any content or know-how on the topic yet.
Ola Tony! Thank you so much for such informative videos! I will be in Porto this Sept and would like to ask if the Andante card (I will be buying the 24hrs ticket) can be used on the commuter train as well, from Sao Bento to Campanha. It seems to be the more direct way. Or do I need to take the metro (to Trindade then transfer)?
Olá, Elaine! The Andante card can be used on the local trains from São Bento to Campanhã. Abraço!
Thank you very much!!! More power to your channel!
@@elainelopez9057 👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the video, it's very informative. If I'm boarding the metro that is nearest the cruise centre, that would be a Zone 3 ticket? Then when I'm in the city, is it possible to do a top up at any station? As I'm only in Porto for a day, I do not know how many trips I would need. Also, do seniors buy the same tickets, or do they have special fares? Thanks!
Hello, you will need to buy a ticket valid for 3 zones indeed. No discounts for non-resident seniors. Rather than a top-up, what you do is buy a new ticket once you've used the one in your card. Buy the card, a zone 3 ticket to go to Porto, and then purchase new tickets as you need, loading them onto your existing Andante card. All the best.
Thanks!@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal
❤
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for another informative video! Can you please let me know about the 3 day ticket. Is this 3 day ticket valid on all trams and busses and also on funiculars?
The 3-day Andante Tour is valid on buses and metro. Not valid on trams or the funicular.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you for that info!
Small note Line C is from Campanhã to ISMAI, also you can use andante card in all of metropolitan region of Porto. Dezember will start a new bus service called UNIR. Overall good video. Edit: there is an app called "Anda" to use as alternative to the card
Thank you for the correction about line C, you're absolutely right. From what we've read UNIR will operate everywhere but in the city of Porto. Anda has terrible reviews and many testimonies of foreign users unable to set up an account.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal oh the tax Number... I forgot about thate
@@Maia_Cyclist we only recommend local apps when we are 100% sure they will be easy to use by a non-resident.
quite the contrary, UNIR is similar to carris metropolitana in the Lisbon Metro Area, It's a coalition between various local bus companies based in the suburbs that operate either in their suburb, between suburbs, or lines that start in the suburbs and end in the city center or a transport hub in the city propper@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal
Hi Tony, thanks for the informative video! What's the difference for the Blue Andante 24 €4,70 and Andante Tour 1 day ticket €7?
As I'm arriving Porto by train from Porto Campanhã and visiting Porto for 2 full days, does purchasing Z2 Andante24 2times will be sufficient? As it can be used to ride all trains, subways and buses except for tourist bus and trams. Appreciate your advice thank you!
Thank you. The Andante Tour is valid for all tariff zones. The Blue Andante only for the zones you pay for. We didn't want to overcomplicate the explanation on a system that it is not that easy to understand. Your use of transport cards will depend on the location of your accommodation.
@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thanks, my accommodation is walking distance from Porto Campanhã Station which is PRT3, so buying Z2 tickets should be sufficient to cover the tour highlights in Porto?
@@ricebowlrice Z2 tickets are enough to move within the city of Porto.
Do you have in Porto something like a lisboncard in lisbon?
Yes, there's the Porto Card, but we haven't got a video on it yet. Check details here www.civitatis.com/en/porto/porto-card/?aid=2167
Hi Tony, as always your content is very helpful. We were able to book a train from Madrid to Vigo thru Renfe. I would like to know if we need to book in advance a trip from Vigo to Porto by train or bus. Thank you!😊
Hanna, with so many tourists around, booking in advance is always a wise move if you want to guarantee a seat.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal will do. Thank you so much Tony.
Hello Tony, as of this time, Vigo to Porto by train has no schedule. Is it possible to take taxi or uber instead? Or do you have other suggestions. Thank you so much😊
@@hannabattung4488 hi again, we haven't got that topic covered yet. But a taxi or a Uber will cost you and immense fortune and won't probably cross the border. Train schedules tend to be release up to two months in advance.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you so much Tony for your response. I will keep on checking the train schedules.
Can you buy the andante tour 3 card on the ticket machines?
I imagine so, but we've never done it so cannot share that experience with you.
Can simply tap your credit card at the machine for contactless ticketing for metro and bus instead of buying the Andante Card?
It's being tested on some metro lines. You will charged a Z4 card ticket even if you only travel through 2 zones, so it's not a good deal.
Hi Tony. Can I just scan contactless and use my Santander debit bank card to travel on the metro/buses or do I have to get a Porto/Andante card?
Hi Dave, we saw a few card readers but can't tell for sure whether contactless card payment is fully implemented, it might have been so since the last time we visited Porto. With card payment you always pay the full fare.
About taxi drivers honesty. Taxis in Portugal are subject to supervision and they work with GPS
So I land at OPO around 11:00am in mid-May. I would like to take the train from OPO to Lisbon. But I understand that I need to first take the train (blue line) from OPO to Campanha and then from Campanha to Lisbon. I know it sounds weird but the airfare was cheaper going to Porto from New York as opposed to going to Lisbon. I have 11 nights split between Lisbon and Porto. So instead of spending the night in Porto when I land, I figured I could just take the train to Lisbon on the same day. I'll spend maybe 5 nights in Lisbon. Then train it back to Porto and fly home from there. Anyway, back to my original question: Would it be correct to take the blue line to Campanha and then transfer to the train heading to Lisbon? I'm giving myself 3 hours to go from OPO to Campanha Station and I hope it's enough time to get on the train to Lisbon.
The airport line doesn't reach Campanhã. You will have to change metro lines along the way. Otherwise, you should be fine.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you. I think I will get a flight from OPO to LIS then take the train back to OPO. Less stress. :) Enha uma boa noite.
How do I know how many zones i need to buy for ? That piece was confusing
T4 for the airport to city transfer. T2 to move around Porto.
Line C starts on Campanhã
Need clarification on the number of tickets to buy on one card. If I buy 2 tickets for a zone and scan my card, will it only use one ticket, leaving me a credit on the card worth another ticket?
If you have 2 tickets and scan your card once, 1 ticket will be discounted from the total credit of 2.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal That’s what I thought, but I wanted to be sure. Thank you.
Hi, there! Anyone knows how much it costs by Uber feom Airport to city center. Hotel shuttle costs €30. Thank you!!!
Uber fares are dynamic, they change depending on the time of the day, the day of the week and the demand. Should cost less than 30€ but you never know.
When I buy 24 hrs , is this for 24 hrs usage from the moment of first use? Or expires in 12 am of day that I purchased?
24 hours after the first validation.
