IT'S HAPPENING!
Travel & Stay Details
As a destination wedding, we want to make sure that we make this journey over to Portugal as smooth as possible for you!
Below are all the details you need for flying into Portugal, where to stay, and travelling around.
If you have any questions, just reach out to us!
Flying to Portugal
Here's what we would recommend
Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport
Porto, Portugal
The airport we'd recommend everyone to fly into is Porto, Portugal.
This is the closest airport to Amares, the surrounding city where our wedding will be held, with a 45 minute drive time from the airport.
The airport has car hires on site (links below) and has good access to Uber, Bolt and local taxi's.
​
​
Where to stay...
​
Our wedding venue is within the city of Amares, so the surrounding areas for accommodation would be recommended. The closest town we would recommend for your stay is Braga.
​
Below are a handful of options close to our wedding venue, however there is a lot more via Expedia, Booking.com or Air BnB
Getting around Porto, Amares & Braga...
Car Hire
​
If you want to avoid taxi's, we'd recommend to book a car hire straight from Porto Airport. There is a shuttle for the provider you book with just outside the arrivals, which will take you to the car hire offices, just a short drive away.
​
Access via the airport car hire link below or via Booking.com:

​
Uber Or Bolt​​​
​
If you don't fancy driving in Portugal, we would recommend to download the Uber or Bolt app to conveniently book taxi's on the go.
Both Amares and Braga have good access to drivers in both app's making it very easy to get around!.
