Passe Metropolitano Gratuito — free travel pass for the Porto metropolitan area
A travel pass that the city of Porto has given its residents free of charge since 10 July 2026. It is loaded onto the Cartão Porto. and is valid across the Área Metropolitana do Porto on all transport: the metro, STCP and Unir buses, CP suburban trains, the tram, the funicular and the lift. There is no limit on the number of journeys and no time-of-day restrictions.
Where you come across it. Daily journeys around Porto and the metropolitan area.
It is not activated automatically: a card with a chip is converted into the pass at a Payshop agent or an Andante shop, and a card without a chip is activated on the website. The pass is valid for a year, after which you have to prove again that you still live in Porto. Every journey must be validated. Those aged 4 to 23 get the Passe Jovem instead.
