Families can opt for a minivan, which will conveniently accommodate the whole family without being too bulky.

All the speed limit signs in Portugal are given in kilometers per hour. For driving within the Old Town and the narrow lanes, walking speed is recommended. Generally 35 kph (ca. 21 mph) is permitted in residential areas. Country roads and urban arterial roads allow between 55 and 88 kph (34-54 mph), whereas on highways drivers can speed up to 120 kph (74 mph). It is, however, always important to look out for speed limit signs and follow them.

Porto has some blue zone parking spots, which allow free on-street parking for a limited time. Obtain a cardboard disc at the local police station or ask when picking up the car. Set the clock to when you parked and ensure to return in time. Alternatively, parking lots and garages are always a good option, as on-street parking is limited and other cars may block you if parked on the side of the road.
