Overview: Car trip from Santiago de Compostela to Porto (100 words)
Starting from the end-point of the Way of St. James, also known as the Camino de Santiago, a famous catholic pilgrimage route dating back to the 9th century, a car trip from Santiago de Compostela to Porto is a culturally rich journey that takes you through the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula.
On the 143-mile (230 km) drive, you will pass by fascinatingly blue views of the Atlantic Ocean, small seaside towns, lush green hills, and Galician cities. If you go directly from Santiago de Compostela to Porto, the drive takes two to three hours. But considering all the irresistible stops along the way, from historic towns to jaw-dropping churches, you might want to spend the whole day on the road.
About Porto
After a pretty colorful drive from Santiago de Compostela to Porto, you will end up in a gem of a city that steals the hearts of many. Porto, or Oporto, is known worldwide for its namesake wine. In fact, just sitting by the Douro River while sipping a glass of port is reason enough to visit. But Porto's history is even richer than its wine.
The history of Porto dates back to proto-Celtic tribes, but it was the Romans who established it as an important trading port. Porto has remained a cultural mainstay ever since. Porto is so staunchly Portugues that it's known as the “Cidade Invicta” or Unvanquished City for its robust resistance during the Portuguese Civil War in the 19th century.
The city’s historic center was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996, one can find many magnificent reminiscences of this well-preserved history such as the iconic Porto Cathedral and the gold-gilded Sao Francisco Church.
Outside of the historic center, the Dom Luís Bridge is another of Porto's iconic monuments. The steel arched bridge was designed by Gustave Eiffel and is more than a little reminiscent of the famous Parisian tower. Not only does it provide some of the best views of the river and the city, but it also connects Porto to Vila Nova de Gaia, the city where port wine is stored and aged.
Of course, you need something to pair with all that wine. Unsurprisingly, Porto is considered the culinary capital of Portugal, taking advantage of both fresh seafood from the Atlantic and meat and produce from the fertile Douro Valley.

It is possible to buy the tickets at the bus stations but it is always better to book in advance and online for better prices and to guarantee you get a seat.

There are usually several departures throughout the day.
Santiago de Compostela to Porto by train

Things to do when you get to Porto
After your journey from Santiago de Compostela, there is only one last thing to do; enjoy Porto to the fullest! Here are some of the best things to do when you get to Porto:
Roll along the Douro Ribeira
The oldest part of Porto winds its way up from the Douro River. Walk along the waterfront, or take in the views of the city on a boat tour before diving into the narrow lanes of its UNESCO-listed Old Town. Just getting lost here is a great way to spend a day.
Try to make it to the Miradouro da Vitoria though. This viewpoint gives you a panoramic view of the town and Dom Luís I Bridge. The best viewpoint in the city though is Clérigos Tower. Built in 1753, this Baroque bell tower is one of Porto’s most iconic monuments. Climb the 225 steps to the top for 360° views of the city and to burn off some calories from Porto’s rich cuisine.
Eat til you drop
From Michelin-starred Euskalduna and Le Monument to the local offerings at Mercado do Bolhão, Porto’s most famous market, you might end up needing to loosen your belt after your visit. Porto’s signature dish is francesinha, a sandwich filled with sausage, steak, and ham, covered in a beer sauce and topped with a fried egg and cheese served on a bed of french fries. And, of course, wash everything down with Douro Valley wines.
Visit the magical Lello Bookstore
Lello Bookstore’s intricately carved wooden decor, sweeping staircases, and ceiling-high bookshelves have earned it the title of “the most beautiful bookstore in the world”. J.K. Rowling worked in Porto in the 90s and it’s said the red-carpeted staircase and art-nouveau timber interior inspired some of the architectural features of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter books.
Survey the Serralves Foundation
For art lovers, the Serralves Foundation is a must-see. The Serralves Museum and surrounding park are an award-winning example of contemporary, Modern, and Art Deco architecture. Inside, you'll find exhibitions of modern Portuguese and international art.
