Airport Transportation in Porto
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Airport transportation in Porto takes you from Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport to hotels and apartments in central Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, north to Braga and Guimarães, and east to the quintas of the Douro Valley.
Porto Airport Transfers
Our Porto airport transfers start in the public arrivals hall of the single terminal, just after customs. Your driver tracks your flight and waits with a sign showing your name.
You get a fixed price per vehicle before you fly, in sizes from sedans for couples and business travelers to vans for families and groups. Every Porto airport transfer goes door to door, to a hotel in the Ribeira or near São Bento, an apartment in Vila Nova de Gaia, or a quinta in the Douro Valley.
Porto Airport Shuttle
Our Porto airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you are through customs and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases and strollers, so it suits families, groups and travelers heading beyond the city to Braga, Guimarães or the Douro Valley.
Landing at Porto Airport
Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO), usually called Porto Airport, lies northwest of central Porto, outside the city limits in the wider metropolitan area. It is operated by ANA Aeroportos de Portugal, part of VINCI Airports.
All flights use a single passenger terminal, with separate areas for Schengen and non-Schengen flights. If you arrive from outside the Schengen Area, you pass passport control before reaching the baggage hall. Baggage reclaim and customs are on the arrivals level, and after customs you walk straight into the public arrivals hall.
Porto is on Western European Time (UTC+0) and moves to UTC+1 from late March to late October.
Entry rules
Portugal is in the Schengen Area. 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 visa rules for your nationality before you travel.
Porto or Oporto
Some tickets and maps say Oporto. It is the same city and the same airport, code OPO.
Use the official rank
Licensed taxis wait at the marked rank outside the arrivals exit. Turn down offers from people inside the arrivals hall and look for your pre-booked driver with your name sign.
Rainy winters
Porto has a mild Atlantic climate with cool, rainy winters, so a light rain jacket is useful outside the summer months.
