PORTO TRAVEL TIPS
– If you plan to get around the city using the public transport, it’s a good idea to get an Andante ticket. It allows unlimited free rides on metro trains and buses around Porto. The Andante ticket valid for 72 hours costs about 15 EUR.
– If you are planning to eat out, keep in mind that venues in Porto sometimes offer an appetizing selection of fresh bread and olives before your food arrives. Thу trich is that it’s not free despite being brought to your table without request, and you have a right to decline the offer if you are not interested.
– You can drink tap water in Porto without any health risks. If you are unsure about the tap water, there are plenty of drinking fountains around Porto you can take advantage of. So it’s not a bad idea to bring a water bottle, so you can save some money and reduce the plastic waste during the getaway.
