Best Way to Get from Porto Airport to Your Hotel

Arriving at Porto Airport for the first time and not sure how to get to your hotel? You have several options, but for most travellers, a private transfer is the most comfortable and stress-free choice. This guide explains all your options and why NowTransfers is the best one.

Your Options from Porto Airport to Your Hotel

From Porto Airport (Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, OPO), you can reach your hotel by metro, taxi, bus, or private transfer. Each option has its pros and cons.

• Metro: Cheap but requires luggage handling and doesn’t go to all areas. Takes 30-40 minutes to the city centre.
• Taxi: Available outside arrivals but prices can be unpredictable. Queue times vary.
• Bus: Limited routes and not ideal with luggage.
• Private transfer: Pre-booked, fixed price, door-to-door, driver waiting at arrivals — best option for most travellers.

With a NowTransfers private transfer, your driver is already at arrivals when you land, holding a sign with your name. You go straight from the terminal to your hotel — no queuing, no connections, no stress. This is especially valuable if you’re arriving late at night, with children, or with a lot of luggage.

• Driver waiting at arrivals before you exit customs
• Fixed price — no meter, no surge pricing
• Direct to your hotel or accommodation address
