So you essentially have three options, as outlined below. Please note that we plan to arrange buses to take guests from downtown Porto to the wedding location and then back again (at 12am and 2am). If you are staying in Vila do Conde or Povoa de Varzim, we can help you to arrange a taxi transfer (or no doubt your hotel can do the same!).
• Porto: The city is very nice to visit and you easily have enough there to entertain you for 2-3 days.
• Vila do Conde: this is located just outside Porto airport. The advantage of this area is that it is only 12km away from the wedding venue by car. There is also a local ‘Fashion outlet’ and a beach. There is a metro line here to Porto city centre which takes ca. 60 mins with a train leaving every 30 mins.
• Povoa de Varzim: At the very end of the enormously long metro line that runs through Vila do Conde, this is a bit further outside of Porto in the north, but is more of a holiday resort with sandy beaches (see further details below).
