06:06–00:42

Journey

27 min

Buy a Z4. The airport is zone VCD8 and every central station is four zones away; a Z3 reaches only Senhora da Hora. The operator's own zone counter will tell you Z4 and quote EUR 2.25, which is the 2023 price; the tariff is EUR 2.30.

One card per person. The Andante Azul is EUR 0.60, cannot carry two people through on one journey, and is the only thing the validator accepts — no paper ticket, no bank card. Keep it: it is reloadable for a year.

Validate at the platform validator before boarding. There are no gates, and an unvalidated card is a fine. Take the card out of your wallet: the validator can read the wrong card.

Check the destination. 25 of the 66 weekday trains from the airport end at Trindade; only those signed Estádio do Dragão continue to Bolhão, Campanhã and the Dragão.

The last train is 00:42. After it, the 3M bus leaves the airport at 01:30 and hourly until 03:30, then half-hourly to 05:30.

Works on the new Rosa line have closed the central section between Campo 24 de Agosto and Senhora da Hora on some weekend nights, most recently 22:00 Saturday 12 to 12:00 Sunday 13 September 2026, with STCP buses standing in. Check the operator's news page before a weekend arrival.

From

The Aeroporto bus stop outside the terminal

To

Cordoaria, by the Clérigos tower, via Matosinhos and Boavista

Luggage

An ordinary city bus with no racks.

Runs

05:30–00:20

Journey

33–55 min

EUR 2.50 to the driver buys this bus only. If you already hold an Andante card, validate a Z4 instead: EUR 2.30 and valid for a change within 1h15.

The timetable itself gives 33 to 55 minutes to Cordoaria depending on the hour; the long runs are the weekday peaks. It reaches Boavista and Casa da Música at about 30 minutes.

STCP's airport page says about every 25 minutes; its own timetable shows 40 to 50 at weekends.

The last bus to Cordoaria leaves at 00:20. The 01:10 goes only as far as Rotunda AEP.

Not the 602: same fare, same terminus, via Padrão de Moreira in 45 to 80 minutes, and its last departure is 20:50.
