Ticket Options

When booking, you'll get to choose between the following options: 

24-Hour Ticket

This option includes a 24-hour ticket for Porto's sightseeing bus. You'll also get to enjoy two walking tours of Porto in English:

• Tour of the historical centre: leaving at 12 pm every day from Bus Stop 2 on the Red Line.
• Tour of Porto and Gaia: leaving at 3 pm every day from Bus Stop 1 of the Red and Blue Lines.

You'll also have a chance to do a wine tasting in one of the following wineries: Espaço Porto Cruz, Quinta da Boeira y Museu 1º Demarcação. You can choose whichever you like! You'll also get a 50% discount on visits to the Real Companhia Velha.

Lastly, the 24-hour ticket also includes a scenic tour of Porto by night, with no stops, on a City Sightseeing bus. This tour sets off from Bus Stop 2 on the Red Line with the following schedule: 

• January, February, November, and December: 6 pm
• March and October: 7 pm
• April and September: 8 pm 
• May, June, July, and August: 9 pm

48-Hour Ticket 

This option gives you access to the City Sightseeing bus of Porto and has the same advantages as the 24-hour ticket.

48-Hour Ticket  + Six Bridges Boat Tour

This option includes all the same benefits as the 24-hour ticket, as well as a boat tour of the Six Bridges of Porto.  

This 50-minute boat tour along the Douro River sets off every 30 minutes from Cais do Douro Acima (Douro Acima Pier) and Ribeira do Porto (close to Ribeira Square). Its schedule is as follows: 

• April to October: 10 am to 6:30 pm 
• November to March: 10 am to 4:30 pm

How Do the Tickets Work? 

Regardless of whether you choose a 24- or 48-hour ticket, its validity will depend on when you validate the ticket. For example, if you begin to use your 48-hour ticket on a Monday at 1 pm, it will be valid until Wednesday at 1 pm. During that time period, you'll be able to hop on and off any sightseeing bus as many times as you'd like.
