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.
