Bem vindo a Portugal

Porto airport is located 11 kilometres away from the city centre. To go downtown, you can take the

underground train (line E). The station can be found at the level of the underground car park. There are terminals to purchase tickets. You must take a Z4 ticket in order to reach downtown Porto (27 minutes) or Campanhã railway station (34 minutes).

Please refer to the appendix on Porto’s Public Transport for more information.

We stayed at the hotel Ar e Sol (address: avenida di Aeroporto, Maia 4470-558). €42.50 per night with breakfast included.

The bedrooms are quite simple, with a shower, toilet, bidet, cable TV and free WiFi. Although near to the airport (less than 500 metres), the sound insulation is rather good. You would hear more noise coming from within the hotel than the planes.

The breakfast is scanty though enough. The breakfast room is quite small. There is no buffet. Your table is ready and for each person there is a little bread, a slice of ham, a slice of cheese, a portion of jam and butter, and a croissant. Furthermore, you can have a hot beverage served by the receptionist who watches (over) you as you are eating breakfast.

Botica underground station (Line E) is located 5 minutes away on foot.
