Summer is the most popular time to take a flight to Porto and spend sunny days exploring the city or on the beaches in the surrounding areas. Average temperatures are comfortable, between 16 and 27 degrees Celsius, however, it can rise to a scorching 40 degrees, so make sure you pack some sunscreen. Summer also has low humidity, cooling breezes, although occasionally there are showers and a haze can be noticed across the city. Other peak seasons to consider when booking flights to Porto include school holiday periods when beaches will be packed and during major annual events, which usually see an influx of people. June, when the cultural calendar is in full swing, is a great month and popular time to visit. Long preparations are made throughout the whole month, for the celebration of Sao Joao, Saint John, on the night of the 23 June. Residents of Porto, Portuguese natives and tourists from all over the world, flock to the city to enjoy one of the liveliest street parties and longest nights of the year in Porto. There are also free concerts in the City Park and the historical city centre, as well as an impressive fireworks display. August also hosts a large celebration for Assumption Day, which is marked by parades and street parties which continue from morning to night.
Mid-September is the beginning of the rainy season, but the rain usually sets in during October and peaks in December. The rainfall continues into May, but eases off slightly in March/April, which sees beautiful flowers and trees bloom. Winters are mild in Porto, with temperatures generally ranging between 5 and 15 degrees and rarely dipping below 0 at night. There are still sunny periods to be enjoyed throughout winter. If you don’t mind rain, pack the wet weather gear and visit during the winter months. This is also the off season so you are more likely to find a cheap flight to Porto and better rates on accommodation.

Porto has a Mediterranean climate, with warm, dry summers and mild, rainy winters.
The public transport system in Porto is cheap and easy, but many tourists enjoy walking or biking, especially in the old section of town, where the sights are close together. Don’t worry about getting lost in the narrow streets, just ask a resident to point you in the right direction. Buses, trams and the metro will get you around the city quickly, and the funiculars can take you from the Ribeira to the city’s centre. Local trains can take you to the outer edges of the city and to the beaches. Avoid travelling during rush hour, as public transport can get very crowded. Look for discount or multiple-trip tickets such as the Passe Turistico, bulhete diario (day pass) and the rechargeable Andante Card to save money. You can hail, call or pick up a taxi from a stand 24 hours a day.
Driving can be very difficult, due to heavy traffic and a maze of one-way streets. With all the transport system options in Porto, renting a car isn’t worth the hassle.
Porto Airport or Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO) is 7 miles (11 km) from the centre of Porto. The metro and local buses serve the airport. Taxis and car rental companies are also available, but again it’s advised to book your car early to avoid disappointment, preferably booking your flight to Oporto.
Often known as Porto Airport, Francisco Sa Carneiro Airport is the main airfield for the northern Portuguese city. It is named for Francisco Sa Carneiro, a former prime minister who died in a plane crash while on his way to the airport.
Third busiest (after Lisbon and Faro) it welcomes more than five million passengers each year. It’s a base for Ryanair, Europe’s biggest budget airline. Francisco Sa Carneiro Airport is spacious and modern with curving lines reminiscent of Gaudi, although the terminal’s lack of natural light can be hard on your eyes after a few hours.
Almost half of flights to Francisco Sa Carneiro Airport come from Germany and France, but there are flights available to many other destinations worldwide, including London, Zurich, Amsterdam, Brussels, Milan, Casablanca, Luanda, Toronto, Montreal, and Caracas.
