Travel Note

Transportation

For wedding transport: Easiest option for wedding events would be rideshare apps Uber / Bolt / Free Now; these are widely used and often cheaper than traditional taxis. We found Ubers to be quite affordable around the city last year. According to ChatGPT, ride from central Porto (e.g., Ribeira or Aliados) to Torre Bella will typically cost around €10–€20 depending on traffic and time of day. For city exploration: If staying in the city, many things are very walkable. Use metro + buses with an Andante card for cheap, reliable travel.
