Porto Pet Travel Tips

💡 Quick Tips

• 1.Most Porto hotels classify dogs as 'accepted with surcharge' — confirm the policy AND the surcharge amount in writing before booking, fees range from €0 to €30/night
• 2.The Jardim do Palácio de Cristal explicitly bans dogs — plan an alternative if this is on your itinerary
• 3.Porto's historic trams (lines 1, 18, 22) allow only small dogs in carriers — for sightseeing with a larger dog, walking is the only option on these routes
• 4.Tap water in Porto is safe for dogs — you don't need bottled water
• 5.The cobblestones in Ribeira are beautiful but harsh on older dogs' joints — supplement with softer-surface parks for senior pets
