Porto, hugged by both the Douro River and the Atlantic Ocean, is the second largest city in Portugal. Just like its eldest sibling Lisbon, Porto is also known for its narrow cobblestoned streets that are lined with colorful buildings, blue tiles (azulejos), and medieval architecture treasures that complement the cityscape. A car trip from Coimbra to Porto promises a route rich in picturesque views of vineyards, as well as small towns and rural areas that showcase Portugal's countryside.
To fully experience the journey from Coimbra to Porto, consider using a private car service like Daytrip, which provides more than just a transfer between two cities. Once your local driver picks you up right before heading to the north, all you have to do is buckle up and enjoy your journey. And the best part of it? You can personalize your trip by previously picking spots that you would like to explore along the way. Some stop-worthy places are the Buçaco National Park filled with lush trails or Aveiro, Portugalâs âLittle Venice".
About Porto
Porto is characterized by its hilly city center, the golden river (the literal translation of Rio Douro) that weaves along the southern part of the city, the vintage trams that take you to three different routes, and franchesinha, a traditional sandwich that you must try. While Porto is often compared to Lisbon (and vice versa) and they might have many things in common, Porto undoubtedly deserves its own dose of attention.
Famous worldwide for its delicious port wine, which has been produced since the 17th century, Porto serves as the gateway to the Douro Valley, Portugal's oldest wine region. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the valley is renowned for its stunning views of steep vineyard hillsides, making it a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
The rabelo boats are one of the main symbols of Porto. They were used to transport barrels of port wine from the Douro Valley's best vineyards to the wine cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia via the river in Porto. This method was used for centuries because there were no proper roads, making the rabelo boats the most reliable mode of wine transportation. Today, these iconic boats can still be seen along the riverbank, serving as a reminder of Porto's rich winemaking heritage, and visitors can take tours to experience this important part of the city's culture.
The name of the country, Portugal, is derived from Porto, a magical city where the river sparkles from sunrise to sunset. Filled with golden, blue, and orange hues that make every step unforgettable, Porto attracts people with its art, rich history and culture, stunning architecture, and warm, welcoming locals, making it the perfect destination for anyone.
From Coimbra to Porto: travel tips
Despite the short journey from Coimbra to Porto, itâs always a good idea to travel prepared. Here are three tips to make your visit to Porto seamless.
Prioritize comfortable shoes
Porto is full of hills and stairs, so consider prioritizing comfort over looks (or combine both, if possible) and pack your most comfortable shoes. While both banks of the river have walkways without hills, be prepared for some climbing in the rest of the city.
### Pre-meal snacks aren't free!
In Porto, as well as in Portugal in general, it is common for restaurants to provide snacks before serving your meal. But they're not free! If you eat these snacks, they will be included in your bill.
### Book in advance
Donât miss out on the best that Porto has to offer. Book tours and entry tickets in advance. Some restaurants can get busy during the peak season, so itâs recommended to make a reservation beforehand. This way, you wonât end up walking on the cobbled hills looking for a free table.
How to get from Coimbra to Porto
Make your Coimbra to Porto transfer a breeze by exploring the available transportation options. We'll break down the pros and cons of each so you can decide which best suits your travel preferences.
From Coimbra to Porto by bus
For those seeking an affordable way to travel to Porto, taking a bus is an excellent choice. Here are two of the most popular bus companies to consider:
Flixbus: if you purchase your ticket in advance, the lowest ticket price is $5.38 (âŹ5), and the travel time is 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Rede Expressos: a Portuguese bus company with the cheapest tickets starting from just $4.25 (âŹ3.95). The journey takes approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes.
If you plan to go by bus, make sure you check the timetable available on the bus companyâs official website.
From Coimbra to Porto by train
Another way to get to Porto is by high-speed train. The Alfa Pendular service offers this option, with ticket prices starting at approximately $37.68 (âŹ35). However, the travel time is only 10 minutes faster than the bus, at 1 hour and 11 minutes.
Alternatively, you can choose a slightly cheaper express train (also provided by Alfa Pendular) with tickets starting from approximately $31 (âŹ29). The travel time for this option is 1 hour and 18 minutes. Both trains will take you to Porto-CampanhĂŁ station, which is farther from the city center. The trainâs timetable can be found online.
From Coimbra to Porto by private car service
While the above options are cost-effective, the best way to reach Porto is undoubtedly by choosing a private car service like Daytrip. Once your local English-speaking driver picks you up and loads your luggage, you will enjoy the scenic views without the hassle of navigating public transport or worrying about being late.
Moreover, your friendly driver will be happy to suggest the best places to visit upon your arrival in Porto. The journey from Coimbra to Porto takes approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Best of all, Daytrip lets you stop to stretch your legs and explore more of Portugal with enriching sightseeing stops! Check out the Church of Valega with its facade completely covered with colored tiles, or Bucaco National Park, a bastion of natural beauty guarded by medieval walls.
Daytripâs private car service provides flexibility that public transportation does not offer, as neither the train nor the bus will wait for you.
From Coimbra to Porto by shared shuttle
Does Daytripâs private car service from Coimbra to Porto sound tempting but you would still prefer to save some dollars to spend on souvenirs? Then Daytripâs shared shuttle service is made for you! The shared shuttles depart five times a day, allowing you to choose the most convenient time for your trip. Once your driver picks you up at your accommodation, your journey in a comfortable and air-conditioned car can begin.
Things to do when you get to Porto
While Portoâs city center is walkable and can easily be explored without a map, having a good itinerary will help you not miss out on some of the best and most unique sights Porto offers.
Livraria Lello is not only one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world, but it also served as an inspiration for JK Rowling while writing Harry Potter. It is a popular destination for Harry Potter enthusiasts. In the early 1990s, J.K. Rowling lived and worked as an English teacher in Porto, where she wrote the first chapters of the Harry Potter books. The bookstore was built in 1906, and while the exterior features Gothic architecture, the interior showcases Art Nouveauâs design.
Enjoy a glass of authentic port wine
While the main wineries are not located in Porto (you have to travel to Douro Valley), there are some wine cellars close to the city (located in Vila Nova de Gaia) that will offer you an equally authentic port wine experience. Here are some of the wine cellars you can choose from: Poças, Sandeman, and Portugalâs oldest wine company Real Companhia Velha.
Admire the painted tiles at SĂŁo Bento Station
Even if you donât go to Porto by train, it is worth visiting the SĂŁo Bento Station which is famous for its more than 20,000 painted tiles. The ceramic tiles adorn the main entryway of the station, reflecting not only Portugalâs history but also the daily life of the locals. The best time to appreciate the details of tiles is at dusk, but if you want to avoid crowds, the evening is also an excellent option.
When is the best time to visit Porto
If you are seeking sun and warmth, the best time to visit Porto is in summer (June to September). During these months, temperatures can reach 86°F (30°C), making it perfect for enjoying the nearby beaches and outdoor terraces. Summer is also a great time to visit because the city comes alive with festivals and cultural events. Of course, this is also the most popular time to visit, so expect crowds and higher prices on accommodation.
Alternatively, if you prefer to avoid crowds and enjoy lower prices, consider visiting Porto during spring or autumn. In general, we'd say these are better than the summer. These seasons offer more pleasant temperatures that range between 59 and 77°F (15 to 25°C). In spring, the city's gardens and parks are in full bloom, enhancing the natural beauty of Porto.

âJag anvĂ€nde denna tjĂ€nst för en transfer frĂ„n Split i Kroatien till Perast i Montenegro. Min upplevelse var exceptionell. Min chaufför Bojan var hjĂ€lpsam, informativ och sĂ„g till att min resa var bekvĂ€m och trevlig. Jag rekommenderar starkt denna tjĂ€nst.â
âVi var mycket nöjda med kvaliteten pĂ„ den service vi fick frĂ„n Day Trip. Vi hade tvĂ„ resor med Day Trip: den 31 augusti frĂ„n Aten till Lefkada och den 7 september frĂ„n Lefkada tillbaka till Aten. BĂ„da resorna inkluderade stopp vid natursköna platser i Grekland. BĂ„da förarna var utmĂ€rkta och tillmötesgĂ„ende. Vi vill dock sĂ€rskilt uppmĂ€rksamma Panos Peppas, som var vĂ„r förare frĂ„n Lefkada till Aten. Panos var otroligt trevlig och behaglig och levererade enastĂ„ende kundservice, som inkluderade att han tog hand om allt vĂ„rt bagage, gav oss kallt vatten under hela resan, försĂ„g oss med proteinbars, gav oss tryckt material om Korintkanalen (ett av de natursköna stoppen), tog reda pĂ„ och gav oss terminal- och gateinformation för vĂ„rt flyg hem, samt gav oss ett recept pĂ„ tzatziki.â

âVi Ă€lskar verkligen det hĂ€r företaget och har anvĂ€nt det mĂ„nga gĂ„nger genom Ă„ren för att ta oss frĂ„n A till B utan krĂ„nglet med att hyra bil sjĂ€lva. UtmĂ€rkta chaufförer varje gĂ„ng. Effektiva och professionella. Det Ă€r vĂ€rt varenda krona, och vi rekommenderar Ă€rligt Day Trip till alla. Deras femstjĂ€rniga betyg Ă€r vĂ€lförtjĂ€nt.â
âVi reste frĂ„n NĂŒrnberg till MĂŒnchen i en vacker Audi. Chauffören hĂ€mtade oss pĂ„ vĂ„rt hotell exakt vid den begĂ€rda tiden. Han fick oss till MĂŒnchen i god tid för vĂ„r nĂ€sta tur. Chauffören sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt.â
âGonzalo frĂ„n Daytrip var vĂ„r chaufför och han var helt fantastisk. Han gjorde allt för att hitta oss eftersom vĂ„r mobiltĂ€ckning var dĂ„lig. Han vĂ€ntade tĂ„lmodigt i lobbyn tills vi kom, sĂ„ att han kunde köra oss frĂ„n Tulum Dreams Resort till vĂ„rt andra hotell i CancĂșn, en och en halv timme bort nĂ€ra flygplatsen inför vĂ„r hemresa. Han var artig, respektfull och vĂ€nlig. Han sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt under hela resan. Snabb och effektiv. Jag rekommenderar detta företag eftersom det inte Ă€r lĂ€tt eller billigt att hitta en enkelresa frĂ„n Tulum till CancĂșn, och detta företag erbjuder en utmĂ€rkt tjĂ€nst till ett bra pris. Jag kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda dem igen nĂ€r jag Ă€r i omrĂ„det CancĂșn/Tulum. Tack DayTrip och Gonzalo.â
âMarianna hĂ€mtade oss för att köra oss frĂ„n Heraklion till Chania. VĂ€dret var hemskt, och pĂ„ grund av detta kom Marianna nĂ„gra minuter sent. Hon kontaktade mig för att meddela det. Marianna bor i Chania och gjorde resan vĂ€ldigt intressant genom att berĂ€tta om lokala sevĂ€rdheter och saker att göra i Chania. Marianna Ă€r en sĂ€ker förare och vi kĂ€nde oss alla trygga med bĂ„de hastigheten och hur bra hon körde i det kraftiga regnet. Hon Ă€r en underbar person och talar flytande engelska. Vi rekommenderar verkligen Daytrip, och om du Ă€r i Heraklion eller Chania, se till att frĂ„ga efter Marianna.â
âJag anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten för att Ă„ka frĂ„n Luxor till Hurghada, Egypten. Ahmed H var vĂ„r chaufför och han var perfekt. Bilen var ny, ren, han hade vatten och snacks för oss och anpassade sig efter vĂ„ra stopp. Fantastisk service frĂ„n honom, jag rekommenderar det varmt.â
âVi anvĂ€nde Daytrip för tvĂ„ resor i Mexiko, och bĂ„da var fantastiska. SĂ„ bekvĂ€mt, och vi anlĂ€nde till varje destination i perfekt tid. BĂ„da förarna var otroliga, och vi kĂ€nde oss vĂ€ldigt trygga. En av vĂ„ra förare, Miguel, spelade dessutom den bĂ€sta musiken! Vi kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda Daytrip pĂ„ vĂ„r nĂ€sta resa till Mexiko.â

âVi visste inte vad vi skulle förvĂ€nta oss av denna resa och bokade frĂ„n Australien. Vi letade frĂ„n början efter ett enkelt sĂ€tt att resa frĂ„n Granada till Malaga. Vi bestĂ€mde oss för att inte missa möjligheten att se nĂ„got extra pĂ„ vĂ€gen. Miguel övertrĂ€ffade verkligen vĂ„ra förvĂ€ntningar. Hans engelska var utmĂ€rkt (tyvĂ€rr talar vi mycket lite spanska), och han var mycket vĂ€nlig och hjĂ€lpsam. Vi njöt verkligen av att höra om regionerna nĂ€r vi passerade genom dem och Ă€ven att diskutera nĂ„gra av de lokala sĂ€tten. Miguel tog oss till Antequera som planerat och sĂ„g till att vi enkelt kunde fĂ„ vĂ„ra biljetter till attraktionerna utan nĂ„gon brĂ„dska. Vi blev upphĂ€mtade och avlĂ€mnade punktligt och njöt verkligen av vĂ„r resa. Förhoppningsvis kommer vi att Ă„tervĂ€nda till Spanien och vi kan anvĂ€nda denna tjĂ€nst igen nĂ„gon gĂ„ng.â
âFirst time I have used Daytrip and we used the service twice in Portgual and both were such amazing trips that I will review them separately. See my other review. I was looking for a way to travel from Porto to Coimbra without hiring a car ourselves. It is so much of a hassle and there are huge one way hire fees in Portugal. I wanted to see a couple of places along the way and there was no way catching the train hauling our luggage along with us could we have managed it. So using the Google search engine I found Daytrip. The ease of booking, the extensions that we could add to our trip including choosing the time to be spent in each location, the prompt and continued communication from Daytrip was absolutely excellent. Igor A arrived in the morning to pick us up from our apartment in Porto. He was friendly, polite, had checked and was early to pick us up. He welcomed us with a welcome pack of goodies and provided water and sweets for the journey. He was knowledgeable about the areas we were visiting and he was able to guide us in the right direction for food, souvenirs and experiences. We had a wonderful day with Igor and felt like we were with a friend not a person we had never met before. I would highly recommend the services of Daytrip. At first you may think it is expensive. But weigh up the cost of carrying around your luggage, driving on unfamiliar roads, tolls, car hire fees, stress of trying to find your way around, when you can sit back and relax and enjoy the scenery.â
