Tips for organising your days

  • Avoid the Ribeira on foot: cobbles and slopes are hard; prefer an adapted taxi transfer or a private car tour.
  • Choose flat visits: parks, museums, Avenida dos Aliados; see Porto in one day.
  • Book in advance anything that needs a ramp or an accessible boat, and ask for written confirmation.
  • A private car tour reduces the slopes; ask whether the vehicle can carry a wheelchair.

FAQ

Are the pavements usable? In the centre they are often narrow and cobbled; plan detours.

Is the metro really accessible? That is what Metro do Porto announces; check the lift at your station before leaving.
