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.

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.

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?

@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal 2 ай бұрын

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.

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.

It seems to be the more direct way. Or do I need to take the metro (to Trindade then transfer)?

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!

@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal 7 ай бұрын

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.

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!

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.
