The Porto Card is valid for 24, 48, 72 or 96 hours (depending on the chosen duration). The time runs from the first use, as the card is only activated upon first use.

Official sales points:
At these locations you can also buy the Porto Card directly without online booking. Simply show your voucher or buy spontaneously on-site.
For use in public transport, you must validate the Andante Tour ticket for each journey and scan it again when changing.
Do I need to reserve attractions or tours in advance?+
Usually no -- for most museums and attractions no reservation is required and often not even possible. You can go spontaneously with your Porto Card.
Exceptions requiring reservation:
For these offers, advance registration or booking is advisable to secure your place. The Porto Card does not entitle you to skip queues -- you get discounts or free admission, but must queue at regular entrances.
Is the Porto Card transferable and can I visit attractions multiple times?+
No, the Porto Card is personalized and non-transferable. Each traveler needs their own card, as it is registered to one person upon collection.
Sharing or joint use of one card for multiple people is excluded. Also, each benefit can only be used once per Porto Card -- you can only visit each attraction once with the Porto Card.
For families: Since there are no children's discounts, each family member (including toddlers) needs their own Porto Card. For larger groups (20+ people) there is however a 10% discount on the total price.
Can I cancel the Porto Card and are there additional discounts?+
Yes, when purchasing through official partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide, you can cancel the Porto Card free of charge up to 24 hours before the planned usage date. This gives you flexibility if your travel plans change at short notice.
