Local buses in Porto
Although the local buses in Porto are sometimes the only means of transport to get to certain destinations, in our opinion they make for the least appealing public transport in the city.
The bus drivers seem to be driving in a rally, turning what seem like impossible curves while they race up steep and narrow cobbled streets, so passengers must hold on for dear life.
Buses to the wine cellars
Although the local buses might seem a little dangerous, they’re the most useful means of transport to get to certain destinations, like Vila Nova de Gaia, since it will drop you off where the best wine cellars are.
The most useful routes to get to the wineries in Gaia from Porto city centre are: 900, 901 and 906, which depart from Trinidade or 904 that leaves from Batalha and Praça da Liberdade.
Prices
The price of the Porto city buses is € 2 (US$ 2.10). If you have the Porto Card you can travel by bus unlimited.
Operating hours
Porto buses have an approximate schedule that goes from 6 am to 1 am, so you will have no problem getting to the winery area by bus.
