Santiago de Compostela is the end of every Camino: the cathedral and Obradoiro square, the pilgrims' office and a granite old town where many travellers arrive after weeks of walking. With Zonetransfers, someone is waiting for you on the ground floor of Porto's terminal to drive you to Santiago de Compostela, from €329 per vehicle.
The transfer crosses the Minho at Tui and follows the AP-9 north; in about 2 h 20 min your driver drops you at the access point closest to your hotel in the old town, by the station or in San Lázaro. Distance: around 228 km, over 2 h 20 min, and the car costs from €329 with tolls paid. Zonetransfers assigns your vehicle before you take off.

Porto Airport has a single terminal, so every flight, low-cost or not, comes out into the same arrivals hall. Minutes later you are heading for Santiago de Compostela.
The historic centre is pedestrian and only authorised vehicles enter. Your driver stops at the nearest access point; from there most hotels are less than 10 minutes' walk.
Porto is the main long-haul gateway for many Camino pilgrims from North America, the UK and Ireland. A private transfer links the airport and Santiago in one go.
After the Camino: we can take you back to Porto Airport for your flight.
