Going to a concert in Porto: how to plan your journey and return home

Agenda Cultural do Porto2 September 2026 at 16:40

Porto has an intense cultural life linked to music, with several venues and spaces hosting concerts of different sizes. Among the main locations are Casa da Música, on Avenida da Boavista, Coliseu Porto Ageas, in the city centre, Super Bock Arena, in the Gardens of the Crystal Palace, and smaller spaces like Hard Club and Plano B, in Porto's Baixa district.

The article recommends that tickets be purchased only through official channels indicated by the promoter or venue, warning against the risks of buying tickets through unauthorized resellers, where there is a danger of receiving invalid or duplicate tickets. After purchase, the electronic ticket should be saved on your phone, with a screenshot being suggested to ensure offline access at the time of entry.

For those visiting Porto, the article suggests having mobile internet available during your journey, which makes it easier to check maps, transport timetables and the ability to order a taxi or TVDE. One of the options mentioned for those coming from abroad is the use of an eSIM, a digital SIM that can be activated without replacing the physical card.

Regarding the return home after the concert, the article warns that Metro do Porto is not always available after all shows, and it is necessary to check the updated timetables on the day itself. Alternatives include STCP buses, which may have night connections, and taxis or TVDE services. The article recommends that return transport be planned before entering the concert, to avoid problems when the music stops.
