🇵🇹 Portugal city guide
Porto
A compact riverside city of tiled streets, serious football culture and easy metro connections.
Porto is compact enough to explore on foot, though the hills are real. The airport metro runs through the centre and the Estádio do Dragão has its own station. The ground is part of Portugal’s proposed 2030 venue set, pending final tournament arrangements.
Stadiums
Estadio do Dragao
50,033 seatsFC Porto’s hillside home, opened for Euro 2004 and directly served by the metro. It is proposed for 2030, pending final tournament allocation.
Metro lines A, B, E and F stop at Estádio do Dragão. The steep approach is manageable but allow extra time after full-capacity matches.
