Motorway and main roads
Póvoa de Varzim is a fishing town turned beach resort just north of the airport: a long sandy seafront, a 1930s casino, fishermen's festivals and the Estela golf links among the dunes. When you book with Zonetransfers, your flight is followed and a driver waits for you in Porto arrivals for the ride to Póvoa de Varzim, at a fixed price from €42.
The transfer goes straight up the A28 coastal motorway; in about 25 minutes you are on the Avenida dos Banhos, by the casino or in the quieter villages of A Ver-o-Mar and Aguçadoura. You cover about 28 km, over 25 min, with up to four of you sharing a €42 fare. Zonetransfers confirms your booking instantly.
