How to Rent a Car in Portugal
Local Knowledge
Driving Tips for Porto
The historic centre (Ribeira) has very limited parking — use the car parks on the outskirts and walk or take the metro.
The A3 motorway north leads to Braga and Viana do Castelo. The A4 east takes you into the Douro Valley.
Avoid the Arrábida Bridge during rush hours — use the D. Luís I bridge or the Freixo bridge instead.
The Douro Valley roads are narrow and winding — drive slowly and enjoy the scenery.
Petrol stations are plentiful on motorways but rare in rural Douro — fill up before heading into the valley.
Porto city centre has many one-way streets and steep hills — a GPS is essential.
