Porto Card
Porto's visitor discount pass
Porto Card
The Porto Card is the official tourist pass of the city, offering a mix of free entries and discounts across many of Porto’s most popular attractions and experiences, including Clérigos Tower, the Stock Exchange Palace, São Francisco Church, Serralves Foundation, Port wine cellars, and Douro River cruises.
Is the Porto Card worth buying?
It depends on what you decide to visit. If you plan to go each day at least to three places included in the Porto Card with free admission or a significant discount, then it’s a no-brainer.
It’s important to note that while the card includes free access to a selection of six museums, these same museums are already free to visit on Sundays even without the card, so it’s worth planning your visit accordingly.
Here’s an example for a 1 day card:
- Serralves Museum: standard admission 24€ / 19.2€ (20% less) with Porto Card (4.8€ savings)
- Clérigos Tower: standard admission 10€ / 7.60€ (25% less) with the Porto Card (2.40€ savings)
- Visit Real Companhia Velha winery: 20€ / 10€ (50% less) with the Porto Card (10€ savings)
Taking into account that a 1 day Porto Card costs 7.50€, your total savings will be 9.70€.
So it comes to planning your trip and deciding which attractions to visit, to determine whether the Porto Card suits your needs or not.
Here you can buy the Porto Card in a safe way.
