Flying in & out, picking up our car rental & driving the Douro then returning car to the airport before heading in to the old city centre for a 4 day stay, I’m confused.com as to which travel card to get, I will use the metro to & from the airport, & probably trams & metro etc once I’m there.
We are staying in the Aliados 150m from that metro stop so very central.
Also like the idea of red & yellow hop on - off buses, all advice greatly received. Obrigado, Marcus. |  | | |  |

Airport to city centre is very easy, think I must have bought a ticket beforehand but you probably only need to get a single or return as most of the city centre is easily walkable.
Enjoy anyway, I really liked it and should go back soon. |  |

You can buy the Metro tickets on arrival at the metro station in the airport, there was a very helpful member of station staff telling you what you need. Personally I just needed a return ticket between the airport and the city which was about 5 or 6 Euros.
The city is very walkable I wouldn't bother with the Metro unless there is something specific you want to see outside the city. |  | | |

It's true that Porto is great to walk around (although you do need to keep a bit of an eye out for the traffic than most other places in Portugal) but if you have limited mobility it might be an idea to find a ticket that includes the lift up and down to the Duoro. A part of the city definitely not to be missed, especially if you like tasting high quality port but a lot of steps:

Also make sure you have a look at the tiling in the rail station just on the north side of the bridge, stupendous even for Portugal. |  |
