Cartão Porto. — the City of Porto municipal card
A free card for Porto residents. The city's benefits depend on it: a free travel pass for the metropolitan area, free rides on the Guindais funicular and the Lada lift and, for those aged 65 and over, 18 taxi journeys a year. It is available to people whose tax address is in the municipality of Porto and to students at the city's institutions who live in Porto. You can apply at cartao.porto.pt or in person at municipal offices.
Where you come across it. Moving to Porto, getting around the city and the metropolitan area.
The card is personal and cannot be passed on to anyone else. A card sent by post must be activated via the link in an SMS, using the code from the letter: if you do not do this within 30 days, the travel pass may be switched off.
