Private transfers from Porto Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport
Porto's Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport lies about 11 km north-west of the old town, between Maia and Matosinhos, and is the main gateway to northern Portugal. Most visitors head into the city, but many go on to the wine estates of the Douro Valley, to Braga and Guimarães, or up the coast to the Minho.
We run fixed-price transfers from arrivals to Porto city centre, and quote any address in the north: hotels in Ribeira and Foz, the port lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia, the Leixões cruise terminal, and quintas around Peso da Régua and Pinhão. Your driver tracks your flight and meets you inside the terminal.
Arriving at Porto Airport: where to meet your driver
Porto Airport has a single passenger terminal. After baggage reclaim, walk through to the arrivals hall, where your driver waits holding a sign with your name. The car is parked a short walk away, beside the terminal. The metro station is connected to the terminal building too, so if you can't see your driver, stay inside the hall and call or message the number we sent you.

Straight to the Douro Valley
Many visitors skip the city on day one and go straight to a wine estate. The A4 motorway heads east past Amarante and through the Marão tunnel, and the last stretch winds down through the terraced vineyards to the river at Peso da Régua or Pinhão.
