Metro do Porto

In allen grossen ausländischen Städten nutzen wir, so vorhanden die Metro. Jetzt auch in Porto. Das Netz ist ideal um alle Orte zu besuchen. Hier zahlten wir für 2 Personen für dasTagesticket insgesamt 11 € und waren unabhängig und konnten besuchen was wir sehen wollten. Wogegen Schiffsausfĺüge p. P. 39 € kosten und auf 4 Std. begrenzt sind und man «mehr oder weniger durchs. Dorf gejagt wird». Beim Alleingang ist auch mal ein Kaffee oder Wein möglich in einem Lokal und man spart viel Geld wenn man alleine loszieht und alles allein besichtigt.

The Andante Tour card is great. Period.
It is a card which entitles you to unlimited use of public transportation in the Porto area on the STCP buses (the main network for the city and area), the Metro, use of CP national trains out to a certain distance, and is even coordinated to include transportation on some bus company networks adjacent to Porto.
The Andante Tour card is sold in 1 day or 3 day modes and the 24 hour and 72 hour clock starts running with the validation of the card. The best thing about it is that Porto’s Metro system is zoned in concentric rings which affect the commuter or casual user but, with the Andante Tour card, the cardholder can ignore the zones and travel to their heart’s content.
Because the card isn’t as tied into museums and merchants, it is less expensive than the Lisboa Card. It can be purchased at the train station, at the airport, at the main tourist office, and Lojas Andante (Andante shops). The airport and counter at the Porto Campanha station personnel have been very helpful and, in addition to selling the card, are able to provide directions, explanations, and suggestions. They are also multilingual.
Note that the naming can be confusing. The Andante Tour card is geared at tourist use. It is not rechargeable. The Andante Blue and Andante Gold cards are meant for commuters, it seems, and are rechargeable. These patrons therefore need to keep the card itself. So, when you show up at the Porto airport, train stations, or tourist office in the center and start talking about 1 day or 3 day unlimited use cards, they should know what you are talking about. The Andante Tour card is one of the best city transportation passes that I know of.
