Porto's main railway station is [[Campanhã railway station]], located in the eastern part of the city and connected to the lines of Douro (Peso da Régua/Tua/Pocinho), Minho (Barcelos/Viana do Castelo/Valença) and centre of Portugal (on the main line to [[Aveiro, Portugal|Aveiro]], [[Coimbra]] and [[Lisbon]]).

From Campanhã station, both [[Porto Metro|light rail]] and [[Regional rail|suburban rail]] services connect to the city center. The main [[central station]] is [[São Bento railway station|São Bento Station]], which is itself a notable landmark in the heart of Porto. This station was built between 1900 and 1916, based on plans by architect José Marques da Silva. The large panels of azulejo tile were designed by Jorge Colaço; the murals represent moments in the country's history and rural scenes showing the people of various regions.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.do-tours.com/en/blog/ |title=Les Nouveautés Do Tours &#124; Do Tours |first=Do |last=Tours |access-date=23 January 2020 |archive-date=16 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200616045005/https://www.do-tours.com/en/blog/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Porto is connected with [[Lisbon]] via high-speed trains, ''[[Alfa Pendular]]'', that cover the distance in 2h 42min. The intercities take slightly more than 3 hours to cover the same distance. In addition, Porto is connected to the Spanish city of [[Vigo]] with the [[Celta train]], running twice every day, a 2h 20min trip.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.travelinho.com/en/travel/from-porto-to-santiago-de-compostela#train-OPO-VGO |title=Porto – Santiago de Compostela: Trains, Buses & Carpooling |website=www.travelinho.com |access-date=9 October 2018 |archive-date=9 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181009172237/https://www.travelinho.com/en/travel/from-porto-to-santiago-de-compostela#train-OPO-VGO |url-status=dead }}</ref>

====Light rail====
[[File:Puente Don Luis I, Oporto, Portugal, 2012-05-09, DD 14.JPG|thumb|[[Porto Metro]] [[light rail]]]]
Currently, the major network is the [[Porto Metro]], a [[light rail]] system. Consequently, the Infante bridge was built for urban traffic, replacing the Dom Luís I, which was dedicated to the light rail on the second and higher of the bridge's two levels. Six lines are open: lines A (blue), B (red), C (green) and E (purple) all begin at [[Estádio do Dragão]] (home to [[FC Porto]]) and terminate at Senhor de Matosinhos, [[Póvoa de Varzim]] (via [[Vila do Conde]]), [[ISMAI]] (via Maia) and Francisco Sá Carneiro airport respectively. Line D (yellow) currently runs from Hospital S. João in the north to Vila d'Este on the southern side of the Douro river. Line F (orange), from Senhora da Hora (Matosinhos) to Fânzeres (Gondomar). The lines intersect at the central [[Trindade station (Porto Metro)|Trindade]] station. Currently, the whole network spans {{cvt|70|km|mi|abbr=on}} using 85 stations,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Metro em números |url=https://www.metrodoporto.pt/pages/307 |access-date=18 August 2024 |website=www.metrodoporto.pt |language=pt-PT |archive-date=24 September 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240924210650/https://www.metrodoporto.pt/pages/307 |url-status=live }}</ref> thus being the biggest [[urban rail transit]] system in the country.

In 2019, Porto Metro transferred the management of the [[Funicular dos Guindais]] to Porto city hall.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Funicular dos Guindais e Elevador da Lada concessionados por 2,17 milhões de euros |url=https://www.publico.pt/2019/11/07/local/noticia/funicular-guindais-elevador-lada-concessionados-217-milhoes-euros-1892861 |access-date=15 January 2025 |date=17 November 2019 |website=www.publico.pt |language=pt-PT |archive-date=23 January 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250123212438/https://www.publico.pt/2019/11/07/local/noticia/funicular-guindais-elevador-lada-concessionados-217-milhoes-euros-1892861 |url-status=live }}</ref> Currently, expansion of the network is underway, with two lines under construction and a [[Bus rapid transit|bus rapid transit]] expected to open during 2025.

====Buses====
[[File:Autocarro STCP (Porto).JPG|thumb|STCP bus]]

The city has an extensive [[bus network]] run by the [[Sociedade de Transportes Colectivos do Porto|STCP]] (Sociedade dos Transportes Colectivos do Porto, or Porto [[Public transport]] Society) which also operates lines in the neighbouring cities of [[Vila Nova de Gaia|Gaia]], Maia, Matosinhos, [[Gondomar, Portugal|Gondomar]] and Valongo. Other smaller companies connect such towns as [[Paços de Ferreira]] and [[Santo Tirso Municipality|Santo Tirso]] to the town center. In the past, the city also had [[trolleybus]]es.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.altrinchamfc.co.uk/opotrams.htm |title=Luso Pages – Oporto / Porto (Portugal) Trams and Trolleybuses |website=Altrinchamfc.co.uk |access-date=4 December 2016 |archive-date=2 October 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241002235205/http://www.altrinchamfc.co.uk/opotrams.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> A bus journey is 2.50 €, which must be paid in cash.

====Trams====
{{main|Trams in Porto}}
[[File:Trams at Carmo terminus in Porto.jpg|thumb|Heritage tram]]
A [[Trams in Porto|tram network]], of which only three lines remain one of them being a tourist line on the shores of the Douro, saw its construction begin on 12 September 1895, therefore being the first in the [[Iberian Peninsula]]. The lines in operation all use vintage tramcars, so the service has become a [[Heritage streetcar|heritage tramway]]. STCP also operates these routes as well as a [[Porto Tram Museum|tram museum]]. The first line of the area's modern-tram, or [[light rail]] system, named ''[[Porto Metro|Metro do Porto]]'', opened for revenue service in January 2003<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.railway-technology.com/projects/porto-light-rail/ |title=Porto Light Rail Project, Portugal |publisher=Railway Technology |access-date=6 May 2009 |archive-date=5 July 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090705195749/http://www.railway-technology.com/projects/porto-light-rail/ |url-status=live }}</ref> (after a brief period of [[Free public transport|free]], introductory service in December 2002).
