Metro<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Porto has one of the most beautiful metro systems in the world – it even won multiple design awards! Not to mention, using the metro in Porto is easy once you get the hang of it and it\u2019s quite cheap too.
If you\u2019re not sure how to use the metro, read our guide on riding Metro do Porto<\/a> where we explain zones, lines, subway etiquette, purchasing and validating tickets.
You can check all the metro prices<\/a>, but we’ve written down some of the most important ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Buses use the same rechargeable Andante <\/em>card as the metro. They follow the same zone concept and they have the same price, except for buses you can buy an onboard ticket.
Buses in Porto are affordable, accessible and almost all of them have WiFi. As of now, buses in Porto don\u2019t have bike racks, unlike Metro do Porto which allows you to bring bicycles in.
If you\u2019re not sure how to ride the bus, you can read our complete guide on using the bus in Porto<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/em><\/strong> I recommend you to use <\/em>Moovit<\/em><\/a> for all public transports whereabouts in Porto. It\u2019s available for Android and iOS. I find Moovit more accurate and easier to use than Google Maps.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tram<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The tram is a fun way to ride around Porto – however, in peak season, the waiting queues can get long. That\u2019s why we don\u2019t recommend the tram for daily transportation.
If you\u2019re new to the tram system, read our guide on how to travel by tram in Porto<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uber<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I have ridden on Uber many times around Porto, and it\u2019s hard for me to imagine using anything else. Uber is cheaper than taxis, and the experience in Uber vehicles is more pleasant too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Car rental<\/strong> in Porto<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Driving a car is not our top choice for transportation in Porto as there is a lot of traffic, and it is very hard to find a place to park (and when you find it, you will pay for it!).
However, renting a car is definitely the best solution if you are planning to visit the stunning Douro Valley, the medieval cities of Guimar\u00e3es and Braga and other hidden gems in Northern Portugal.
If you\u2019re looking into car rentals, we have a detailed article on everything you need to know when you rent a car in Porto<\/a>.

Hotels<\/strong> in Porto<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hotels in Porto offer convenience and luxury, but they\u2019re expensive (for Portuguese standards). If you\u2019re staying in Porto for short-term, you can find a nice hotel without spending too much. And you can always go the premium route by booking one of Porto’s luxury hotels<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/em><\/strong> If you\u2019re planning on using Booking.com, book in advance because places fill up quickly during the high season. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hostels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For students and solo travelers, hostels are probably the best option. Not only are they affordable, but they also allow cultural exchange. You can check our recommendations for best hostels in Porto<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purchasing a home in Porto<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some of our readers are interested in the process of buying a home in Porto. But buying a home in Porto is not that different from other places. The price depends on the location, the construction year and the size. You\u2019ll be surprised to know that the price of existing houses in Porto is below the national average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to food, is Porto expensive? Well, compared to other European cities, food in Porto is not pricey at all. Let us analyse the prices of supermarkets, grocery stores and eating out in Porto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supermarkets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For those staying at apartments, shopping at the supermarket will save you money that you can invest in other experiences.
Chain supermarkets in Porto include Continente, Jumbo, Pingo Doce and Lidl. Even though these are convenient and are great for those who cannot eat meat, dairy or gluten, there\u2019s still something missing.
Not all their fruits and vegetables are national or in season. In that regard, I prefer to buy locally sourced fresh produce from local grocery stores. Same goes for meat: when in Portugal, never buy packaged meat, there\u2019re many butchers around selling fresh meat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Porto, local stores include grocery stores (mercearias<\/em>), fruit shops (frutarias<\/em>), bakeries (padarias<\/em>) and butchers (talhos<\/em>).
Shopping in these stores is an authentic way of experiencing Portuguese culture and way of life, you will be able to buy products that you could not find otherwise, such as traditional breads coming from all over the countries and Portuguese sausages (they are to die for). Read our guide to the Portuguese grocery stores in Porto<\/a> to see why local stores are so special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost of Eating Out in Porto<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eating out is a great way to get to know Porto\u2019s culture and cuisine, but it could get expensive if you\u2019re not paying attention to where you\u2019re eating.
During lunchtime, you can order a menu do dia<\/em> which usually includes soup, dish of the day, drink and coffee ranging from 7.50\u20ac to 12.50\u20ac. Naturally, there are more expensive options, but these are the standard prices.
For dinner, expect to pay between 20 \/ 25\u20ac for a regular meal with starter, main dish and dessert. If you choose to drink wine the prices will rise: wine bottles in restaurants start at 10\u20ac and can go all the way to 90\u20ac.
For people following no-meat or no-gluten diets, don\u2019t worry, there are many places to eat in the city \u2013 just check our survival guide for vegetarians in Porto<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sightseeing Activities in Porto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s so much to do when you arrive in Porto including sightseeing, sports activities, arts, museums and of course, shopping. But is Porto expensive when it comes to cultural activities? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best activities in Porto<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sightseeings can be inexpensive if you choose the right activity. You can visit the most famous monuments like the Cl\u00e9rigos Tower<\/a>, Porto’s Cathedral<\/a> and all of Porto\u2019s bridges<\/a> without the need to break the bank.
Most importantly, don\u2019t forget to visit the amazing wine cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia<\/a>. And if you want free activities, visit the best parks and gardens in Porto<\/a>.
For those who love sports and outdoor activities, especially in Porto\u2019s nice weather, you can rent a bicycle, take some surfing lessons or watch a football game<\/a> in one of Porto\u2019s biggest football clubs, FC Porto and Boavista F.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local Tip:<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>there are combo tickets that allow you to save money on the best activities in Porto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can, for instance, get a combo ticket for the 6 Bridges Cruise + Hop On Hop Off Bus tour + Port wine lodge<\/a>. There is a similar combo ticket, but instead of the Hop On Hop Off bus tour, it includes a city train ride<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another deal that I particularly like is the one that combines a visit to Cal\u00e9m wine lodge with a Fado concert<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, there are endless combinations of different activities that allow you to save some money.<\/p>\n\n\n

Monuments and museums<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My most profound travel memories are of my family and I, visiting museums. So if you\u2019re traveling with kids, museums are an affordable way to learn about Porto andto  build memories.
If you love music, Casa da M\u00fasica<\/a> has free outdoor acts and affordable indoor concerts. There are also music festivals<\/a> in different times of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shopping<\/strong> in Porto<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shopping in Porto is fun. Many people ask me if Porto is expensive for shopping and my answer, as someone who lived in a North American city is, no!
There are the obvious (and, in our opinion) boring shopping centers, but the real star here are the little local stores with individuality, personality and quality including 43 Branco on Rua das Flores and Loja da Burel on Rua Mouzinho da Silveira. Read our best shops in Porto guide<\/a> for more store suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prices of Healthcare in Porto<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00a9 Bogdan Tapu. Hospital de Santo Ant\u00f3nio.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Is Porto expensive for medical care? I have already explored this question on article about Living in Porto<\/a>: what is it like?, but I’ll post some information here as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting a European Health Insurance Card before coming to Portugal allows European nationals to receive treatment at the same cost as a Portuguese citizen – in most cases is free. They\u2019re also eligible for discounts on medicine.
If you\u2019re from a non-European country, you can be seen by an ER doctor, but you\u2019ll pay out of pocket. That\u2019s why it\u2019s wise to travel with health insurance. Temporary residents and people staying in Portugal for more than 90 days can receive health care at a discounted price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public hospitals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For European nationals, the cost of attending a public hospital in Porto is close to none. However, non-European travellers might have to pay a large fee to see a doctor.
The major public hospitals in Porto are Hospital de S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o and Hospital de Santo Ant\u00f3nio. They both have emergency care, but I find that S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o has longer waiting times than Santo Ant\u00f3nio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Private hospitals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For foreigners, private hospitals in Porto may not seem expensive, especially if they\u2019re going in for something minor. For us, they are outrageously expensive, which is why more and more Portuguese citizens are getting private insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top private hospitals in Porto are Lus\u00edadas and CUF. They both have a 24 \/ 7 urgent care and the ability to make an appointment with a general doctor or a specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion: is Porto expensive or not?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After going over expenses from hotels rooms to cultural adventures, is Porto expensive? The answer is, no! Porto is not that expensive. That\u2019s why it has been a tourists\u2019 favourite in the last few years. Yes, hotels are expensive, and eating out can be costly, but you can always find cheap alternatives.
We\u2019re talking about visiting the Best European Destination of 2017 with a fraction of the price of cities like Paris or Barcelona. So save up some money for your next trip to Porto. We promise you won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
