Overview: Car trip from Santiago de Compostela to Porto (100 words)
Starting from the end-point of the Way of St. James, also known as the Camino de Santiago, a famous catholic pilgrimage route dating back to the 9th century, a car trip from Santiago de Compostela to Porto is a culturally rich journey that takes you through the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula.
On the 143-mile (230 km) drive, you will pass by fascinatingly blue views of the Atlantic Ocean, small seaside towns, lush green hills, and Galician cities. If you go directly from Santiago de Compostela to Porto, the drive takes two to three hours. But considering all the irresistible stops along the way, from historic towns to jaw-dropping churches, you might want to spend the whole day on the road.
About Porto
After a pretty colorful drive from Santiago de Compostela to Porto, you will end up in a gem of a city that steals the hearts of many. Porto, or Oporto, is known worldwide for its namesake wine. In fact, just sitting by the Douro River while sipping a glass of port is reason enough to visit. But Porto's history is even richer than its wine.
The history of Porto dates back to proto-Celtic tribes, but it was the Romans who established it as an important trading port. Porto has remained a cultural mainstay ever since. Porto is so staunchly Portugues that it's known as the âCidade Invictaâ or Unvanquished City for its robust resistance during the Portuguese Civil War in the 19th century.
The cityâs historic center was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996, one can find many magnificent reminiscences of this well-preserved history such as the iconic Porto Cathedral and the gold-gilded Sao Francisco Church.
Outside of the historic center, the Dom LuĂs Bridge is another of Porto's iconic monuments. The steel arched bridge was designed by Gustave Eiffel and is more than a little reminiscent of the famous Parisian tower. Not only does it provide some of the best views of the river and the city, but it also connects Porto to Vila Nova de Gaia, the city where port wine is stored and aged.
Of course, you need something to pair with all that wine. Unsurprisingly, Porto is considered the culinary capital of Portugal, taking advantage of both fresh seafood from the Atlantic and meat and produce from the fertile Douro Valley.

They love sharing their insights on local history and culture, so ask as many questions as you want!
Learn basic phrases
English is widely spoken in Porto, but learning some basic phrases will definitely be appreciated by the locals. In Portugal, greeting with âBom diaâ (good morning), âBoa tardeâ (good afternoon), and âBoa noiteâ (good evening) goes a long way in showing you're respectful of local customs and traditions.
Have some cash with you

How to get from Santiago de Compostela to Porto
Traveling from Santiago de Compostela to Porto basically means enjoying a blissful coastal trip of bliss for several hours. But first, you need to decide how to get from Santiago de Compostela to Porto.
Santiago de Compostela to Porto by bus
The bus is the cheapest way to get from Santiago de Compostela and several companies operate the route. A direct bus trip usually lasts four hours, with tickets costing between $16 and $50.
It is possible to buy the tickets at the bus stations but it is always better to book in advance and online for better prices and to guarantee you get a seat. Most of the buses depart from the main bus station of Santiago de Compostela and arrive in Porto at either Campo 24 de Agosto bus station or Casa de Musica, depending on the bus company. There are usually several departures throughout the day.
Santiago de Compostela to Porto by train
Unfortunately, there are no direct trains from Santiago de Compostela to Porto. Instead, you need to take a train from Santiago de Compostela to Vigo, and there, change to another train to Porto. The train trip takes around four and a half hours and tickets average $30.
There are frequent trains going to Vigo from Santiago de Compostela and the train ride takes about two hours. After transferring to the connecting train to Porto, you will arrive there in about two hours. You can book your tickets on the websites Renfe or Comboios de Portugal.
Santiago de Compostela to Porto by private car with Daytrip
Traveling from Santiago de Compostela to Porto by car is quite the most convenient and flexible way, especially in the high travel seasons and hot weather.
Booking a private car ride with Daytrip not only means you'll travel door-to-door, but that you get help with your luggage and a friendly driver to cater to all your needs. Along the way, you can talk with them about local culture, or stop for sightseeing before they help you to your accommodation.
Things to do when you get to Porto
After your journey from Santiago de Compostela, there is only one last thing to do; enjoy Porto to the fullest! Here are some of the best things to do when you get to Porto:
Roll along the Douro Ribeira
The oldest part of Porto winds its way up from the Douro River. Walk along the waterfront, or take in the views of the city on a boat tour before diving into the narrow lanes of its UNESCO-listed Old Town. Just getting lost here is a great way to spend a day.
From Michelin-starred Euskalduna and Le Monument to the local offerings at Mercado do BolhĂŁo, Portoâs most famous market, you might end up needing to loosen your belt after your visit. Portoâs signature dish is francesinha, a sandwich filled with sausage, steak, and ham, covered in a beer sauce and topped with a fried egg and cheese served on a bed of french fries. And, of course, wash everything down with Douro Valley wines.
Visit the magical Lello Bookstore
Lello Bookstoreâs intricately carved wooden decor, sweeping staircases, and ceiling-high bookshelves have earned it the title of âthe most beautiful bookstore in the worldâ. J.K. Rowling worked in Porto in the 90s and itâs said the red-carpeted staircase and art-nouveau timber interior inspired some of the architectural features of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter books.
Survey the Serralves Foundation
For art lovers, the Serralves Foundation is a must-see. The Serralves Museum and surrounding park are an award-winning example of contemporary, Modern, and Art Deco architecture. Inside, you'll find exhibitions of modern Portuguese and international art.

âWe used MyDayTrip twice - once from Santiago de Compostela, Spain to Porto, Portugal and a 2nd trip from Porto to Lisbon. Very convenient way to travel with door to door service and the ability to stop at a few places in between. One driver was quiet and the other very talkative providing information of the area and ideas of what to do while at our stops. Very flexible with the amount of time at each stop. I would recommend this service!â

âWe booked a car and driver to go from Santiago, Spain to Porto, Portugal. The booking process was easy and it offered some great suggestions for stops along the way. The price was competitive and we thought it was quite fair. Our driver was early. He was dressed professionally and helped with our bags. He was incredibly polite and courteous. On the two stops we made on the way to Porto, he encouraged us to take our timeĂąâŹÂŠwe were not rushed into the scheduled timetable. He also offered helpful tips about sights and restaurants. We will definitely use this agency again.â
âOur Daytrip was perfect! Miguel was waiting for us when we came outside of the hotel. He was knowledgeable about Pontevedra, so we didnĂąâŹâąt have to waste time figuring out where to go when we got there. Miguel was a good driver and a pleasure to talk to.â
âWe had a very good experience booking our transfer online from Santiago de Compestela to Porto. Our driver Rui B was lovely, very smart and professional, his car was spotless and he is a very safe driver. He was a few minutes late which made me nervous and my only issue is that I could not easily find information on the website about what to do in case of 'no shows.' I did however email the company and received a quick response even though it was 7am. All in all a great experience, I will definitely use them again, and would request Rui B if i was in his region.â

âCourteous, on time, and professional, we couldnât ask for a better experience. Andre was all of the above making certain our trip was enjoyable.â
âWe needed a transfer from Santiago, Spain to Porto, Portugal. We are so happy with the service you provided. Igor, our driver, was punctual and made us feel safe and comfortable. And he even gave us a thank you gift! We enjoyed the ride he provided and will definitely use your service in the future.â
âThere are not enough complimentary words to describe our experience with Miguel. He was on time, very personable, extremely helpful, safely delivered us to our destination and went above and beyond our expectations.
We would recommend Daytrip, and especially Miguel, to anyone needing a reliable driver and safe experience. Team Daytrip also did a great job driving our friend from St. Tropez to Barcelona and we really appreciate your teamâs professionalism.
Why would anyone want the stress of driving in Europe when Daytrip makes it so easy ???
Thanks for everything.â
âWe used Daytrip to get from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. It was a great service, especially for two Kiwis who are nervous to drive on the âwrongâ side of the road. We had none of the stress of driving on strange roads and could have a proper look at the scenery. We took the recommended stopoff at Vigo for lunch and had some delicious seafood.
Our driver, Rui, was friendly and spoke English and the car was clean and comfortable.â
âWe used Daytrip transfer services from Santiago De Compostella to Porto. I was really impressed by the services and I will highly recommend Daytrip trip to my clients (I am in the travel business).
Artur arrived even before scheduled time, his car was spotless, clean, like new. He was very polite, his English was excellent.â
âWe used this service to transfer from Porto in Portugal to Santiago De Compostela as the public transportation between these 2 locations is lengthy and would have taken a large chunk out of our day.
Great experience. Door to Door, our driver Vitor was very professional and provided waters, candies, even stopped to break for coffee and a view.
While we could have rented a car ourselves, the stress of figuring out where to go, changing toll systems, plus one way surcharges made this a less desirable option. hiring private transfer was the best decision for a stress free day.
Excellent service would definitely recommend.â
