You can get to Porto by plane from almost anywhere in the world, either directly or by means of other connections. The Porto airport is called Aeroporto Internacional Francisco Sá Carneiro - OPO (+351 22 943 24 00). It is located about 11 km north of the city centre.
The main mean of transport from the airport to city center is the underground (Metro do Porto) line E. Airport Station is located just in front of the arrivals zone of the International Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, in parallel with the two existing road ways. Nevertheless, the person's circulation between both the equipments is guaranteed by a proper underground passage. When arriving at the Airport Station, people only needs to go down a floor and, in little less than 50 meters walking, they are inside of the Airport. Equally, the access to the Station from the interior of the Airport is extremely simple and practical, being fully signalled. The occasional Andante title required for travelling between the Airport Station and Oporto city centre is a Z4. In the Andante shop located in the arrivals zone of the Airport you can also buy the Andante Tour, an unlimited and intermodal title valid for 1 or 3 days. The closest station (~300m) to the workshop venue is "Casa da Música".
Taxi services are available at the airport. Just for your own reference, travelling from the airport to the city centre by taxi costs an average of 15-20 EUR.
You can also get to Porto by train from about anywhere in Europe, with CP, which has a connection mainly to Paris. Porto has 2 main railway stations: Estação de Campanhã (which provides international connections and connections to Lisbon, Douro and Minho); Estação de S. Bento (which provides connections to Galicia, Douro and Minho, as well as to Aveiro and Coimbra). CP has a Call Center for reservations: telephone number is 808 208 208 (or +351 223 394 040).
