Why Rent a Car in Porto?

Best Things to Do in Porto in 2026

In 2026, Porto offers plenty of unique and unusual experiences beyond the typical sightseeing and concerts. The city hosts creative cultural events like the literary festival BABELL – Cidade Livro, where Porto transforms into a “city of books” with author talks, street performances, and even secret concerts where entry can be granted with a book. Visitors can also enjoy immersive experiences such as the Dino Experience at Alfândega do Porto, featuring virtual reality, 360º projections, and interactive dinosaur exhibits. For something more alternative, underground venues like Maus Hábito s host experimental music nights, indie concerts, and all-night DJ sessions. During the summer, Porto also features quirky urban activities like geocaching treasure hunts, postcrossing meetups, and pop-up riverside festivals, while nearby coastal areas often host beach parties, aerial shows, and late-night seaside events, making the city a vibrant and unconventional destination throughout the year.

Drive without restrictions: ECO and Zero Emission labeled cars

In Porto, vehicles with ECO and Zero Emissions labels—such as hybrids and fully electric or hydrogen-powered cars—are generally allowed to circulate freely in areas where other vehicles may face environmental restrictions. These vehicles are considered low- or zero-emission, so they are typically exempt from access limits in regulated urban zones and are less affected during pollution-control measures or traffic restrictions. In practice, this means ECO and Zero Emissions cars have greater access and flexibility when driving in central parts of the city, making them a more convenient option for navigating areas where environmental rules may apply.

The Best Route to Discover Porto by Car

Start in the historic center, exploring the riverside district of Ribeira and crossing the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge into Vila Nova de Gaia, where you can visit the famous Port wine cellars and enjoy panoramic views over the Douro River. Then head back to the city center to see São Bento Station, the beautiful Livraria Lello, and finish the day with sunset views from Clérigos Tower.

On day two, drive west to the coast to Matosinhos, known for its beaches and excellent seafood restaurants. Continue south along the Atlantic coastline, passing surf towns like Espinho, where you’ll find long sandy beaches and a relaxed seaside atmosphere.

On your third day, head inland into the Douro Valley, driving through vineyards and scenic mountain roads toward places like Peso da Régua and Pinhão. Here you can enjoy wine tastings, river cruises, and some of the most stunning landscapes in Portugal.

This route combines urban culture, coastal drives, and wine country scenery, giving you the freedom to explore Porto and its surroundings at your own pace.
