Savings in numbers

Our conclusion: For whom is the Porto.Card worthwhile and for whom is it not?
The extra cost of €10 for three days compared to the “Andante Tour Card” solely for local transport will soon be worth it if you want to discover some attractions of Porto, do some shopping or perhaps go out for dinner in the participating restaurants.

What we cannot evaluate in Euros are the time savings or the additional comfort of the PortoCard, as this very much depends on one’s own perception. For example, you will not have to deal with public transport ticket machines – how much is this worth to you personally?
