Torre dos Clérigos Location: How to Get There by Subway and Bus

The Porto Metro is one of the most efficient ways to reach the site from the airport or outlying neighborhoods. Visitors should take any line to the Trindade hub and then transfer to the Yellow Line (D) heading toward Santo Ovídio, getting off at the Aliados or São Bento stations. Both stops are centrally located and provide a quick, well-signed walk to the architectural complex.

Porto’s STCP bus network runs several routes that stop near Cordoaria and Praça da Liberdade, both a short walk from the tower's entrance. Hop-On Hop-Off sightseeing buses also have a stop close to the Clérigos Church; check STCP's website or app for the current lines and schedules serving your starting point.

For those traveling from outside the city or other regions of Portugal, arriving by train offers a scenic and convenient option. The iconic São Bento Train Station is situated less than 500 meters from the tower. Upon exiting the station’s beautiful tile-covered vestibule, a short five-minute walk uphill through the Rua dos Clérigos will bring you directly to the base of the tower.

Cycling to the tower is a great option for active travelers, although the uphill terrain of Porto’s historic center can be challenging. Many visitors choose to rent electric bikes to navigate the inclines with ease. There are various bicycle racks located near the Praça de Lisboa and surrounding plazas where you can securely lock your bike before heading inside for your climb.

Walking is perhaps the most rewarding way to reach the tower, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the UNESCO World Heritage site. Located within easy walking distance of other major attractions like the Livraria Lello and the Ribeira district, the tower’s 75-meter height makes it an easy visual guide. Strolling through the cobblestone streets provides the perfect opportunity to admire the city's unique tile-fronted buildings before beginning your ascent.
