However, the taxi queue at Campanhã is often very long, so travelers might want to transfer with cheap car rental in Porto Rail Station instead. The station is served by trains from across Portugal, as well as international services from Madrid and Paris.

There is also another train station in downtown Porto, São Bento Station. This station mostly caters to local trains, but is well worth a visit for its outstanding architecture. Guests could make the station part of a city walking tour, even though the city is quite hilly. Driving downtown isn't strongly recommended, as Porto's streets are narrow and quite often congested.
