Getting from Porto Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO) to Buçaco takes about 1h 25min by car on an empty road (1h 25min – 1h 50min in heavy traffic) over 122 km via A 1 and EN 234. Our private transfer costs €120 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €170 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the Porto airport terminal, after baggage reclaim and the customs exit, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
Buçaco is a walled forest and palace area on a hill about 30 km north of Coimbra, with the Neo-Manueline Palace Hotel, a chapel and walking trails among cedar and cypress trees. The road from Coimbra goes via Mealhada, famous for roast suckling pig, and then up into the forest, and the gates are open for cars with limited parking next to the palace.
The Buçaco National Forest is a walled area with hundreds of tree species, including Mexican cypresses known locally as Buçaco cedars and many tall Atlantic species, and paths that wind among chapels and fountains. The Palace Hotel stands in the middle of the forest, and the Fonte Fria and Vale dos Fetos, a fern valley, are within a short walk. The nearby spa village of Luso lies at the foot of the hill, and the Mealhada area is known for leitão assado, roast piglet. The forest is most atmospheric in spring and autumn, and winter mornings can be foggy.
Public transport: No confirmed public transport from Porto airport to Buçaco forest.
