From Madrid to Porto: travel tips
Swapping Madrid's bustling energy for Porto's laid-back charm? Here's how to make your Madrid to Porto transfer smooth and enjoyable.
Understand Spain and Portugal's toll roads
Although they cost more, toll roads—which can be faster and more practical—are used in Spain and Portugal. If you’re driving, bring some cash or a credit card ready to pay these tolls. To prevent any shocks, it's also smart to learn about how the toll systems operate in both countries. If you’re riding with Daytrip, we’ve got it covered!
Enjoy scenic stops
Stopping along the road during the 378-mile (606 km) distance can help transform your transfer from Madrid to Porto into a memorable part of your travels. See the old city of Guarda with its outstanding cathedral or visit Salamanca, known for its beautiful university and energetic vibe.
Keep cash handy
Major credit and debit cards are accepted at businesses throughout Spain and Portugal, but it's still a good idea to have some cash on hand in case of emergencies or for smaller purchases. You can get cash from an ATM (it's best to use one at a bank), and the prices are often better than those of foreign exchange agencies. Just be aware of any charges your bank might impose.
