🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Aeroporto (bus stop outside Terminal 1) → Botica (Rua Augusto Simões)
💡 Bus 601 goes directly to Botica, while 605 requires a short walk. The bus is slower than the metro but runs later. Ask the driver for a stop at ‘Botica’ – there’s no digital display on older buses.
Aeroporto Francisco Sá Carneiro (OPO) station → Solar Antigo Porto Aeroporto (2-min walk from Botica station)
💡 Buy an Andante card at the airport machine; it works for the whole Porto Metro. From Botica station, head east on Rua de Botica – the hotel is the white building on the corner.
Porto Airport (taxi to Ermesinde station, 5 min away) → São João da Madeira (or Maia – change at Ermesinde; not direct)
💡 This option only makes sense if you’re already heading north. For the hotel from the airport, stick to metro or taxi. The nearest train station to the hotel is Maia station, but you’d still need a 10-min walk or a €4 Uber.
Porto Airport arrivals hall → Solar Antigo Porto Aeroporto, Rua de Botica
💡 Bolt is usually €1–2 cheaper than Uber. If taking a taxi, confirm the price before getting in, especially late at night. The hotel is less than 3 km away, so even a short metered ride won’t exceed €15.
