Porto Airport Buses

Porto airport offers good bus routes across the city and to the surrounding areas. These are served by local SCTP buses and also a number of private bus services. The private buses are clean and reliable, but they generally cost more than the SCTP buses.

The bus stop is located on the ground floor of the terminal, in front of the arrivals hall, so it is very easy to find. It is well signposted, but just head towards the exit and turn right; the buses will be in front of you.

There is a tourist information office located in the arrivals hall that can provide full information on current timetables on all buses, but a summary can be found below.
