Transport from the Airport to the city centre and to the venue
Metro do Porto, the metro system in Porto will bring you easily from the airport (http://www.porto-airport.com/transportation.html) to the city centre or to the Forum venue.
So, we recommend using the Metro. It is a door to door trip of about 40 minutes. When arriving look for the Metro do Porto.
There is only one-line departing from the airport, going in only one direction. It is hard to miss this.
The journey consists of two parts:
• From the Airport to Trindade (city centre): you will need Line E (purple/violet line) in the direction of “Estádio do Dragão”
• Get off at Trindade and change to the yellow D-line in the direction of “Hospital São João” (2 levels down)
• From Trindade to Pólo Universitário (Forum venue): you will need Line D (yellow line) in the direction of “Hospital São João”:
You can buy your ANDANTE ticket from the ticket machines. For the trip from the Airport to Pólo Universitário, you need a ticket of 4 zones.
Once you have your ticket, it’s important that you validate that ticket before you get on the metro and each time you change to a different metro. For validating correctly, put your ANDANTE ticket near the validation machine. If a green light appears, your validation is correct. If a red light appears, your validation is not correct. Keep your ticket to recharge it for your trip back to the airport.
The easiest way to get around in Porto is by metro. We recommend using the metro, not only for your trip from the airport to the hotel, but also to the city centre. The metro runs from 6 AM to 1 AM. The city is connected by 6 lines.
