PRACTICAL INFO
PORTO TRAM CITY TOUR LINES
STCP, manages the two tram lines. This is the same company that deals with the local bus network.
The lines 1 and 18 make distinct itineraries.
LINE 1 offers the most fascinating route, branching out from the historic center of Porto along the banks of the Douro, and then reach the ocean. It is nicknamed “Riverside Line”.
Last stop, in the historical center, is Infant; the stop is near the Medieval Tower of Riboleira. The tram arrives at the gardens of Passeio Allegre. From here, in a few minutes, you reach the wonderful Lighthouse of Felgueiras, the last outpost before the ocean. Spectacular, especially at sunset!
TRAM 18 is the least frequented of the Porto Tram City Tour and, for this reason, could be a valid alternative in case you find long queues at other stops. The so-called “Restore Line” follows the route from Massarelos to Carmo.
