How to get there?

Instituto Superior de Porto (ISEP) is part of the Polytechnic Institute of Porto (IPP). Fortunately, Porto has an international airport, Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO), that receives flights from various locations around the world.

 

🚇 Subway (we call it “metro”)

  • This is a more economical option.
  • Take the metro from the airport station (Metro do Aeroporto) towards Estádio do Dragão. From there, transfer to the Line B (Yellow Line) towards Senhora da Hora and get off at the Pólo Universitário stop. ISEP is a short walk from the metro station.
  • The total travel time is about 40 minutes and a ticket should cost around €2.

🚌 Pre-booked shuttle

  • This is a good option if you are traveling with a group or have a lot of luggage.
  • Several companies offer shuttle services from the airport to various destinations in Porto, including ISEP.
  • Prices will vary depending on the company and the number of people in your group.

🚙 Car, taxi or others (Uber, Bolt, Free Now…)

  • This is the most convenient option, though also the most expensive.
  • A taxi ride from the airport to ISEP should take about 20 minutes depending on traffic.
  • Expect to pay around €25-€30.
