The Académico FC car park at Rua do Lima 113 is a smart, budget-friendly base for a day in Porto – an attended lot in a quiet residential-commercial area near Praça do Marquês, with daily rates from around €10 and the metro a short walk away. It's not a 24-hour garage (it runs 08:00–20:00), so it suits day visitors more than overnighters. Here's how it works in 2026, plus what to check before you book.

Rua do Lima sits in a pleasant area of services and shops between Praça do Marquês and Combatentes, just north of Porto's historic core. Both metro stations are on the yellow Line D, which drops you at Trindade, Aliados and São Bento in a few minutes – much easier than threading a car through downtown's one-way maze and far cheaper than parking by the riverside.

Planning your trip — do you need a car?
Tick what applies and we’ll tell you if a rental is worth it.
Pre-booked daily parking starts from about €10, which is excellent value this close to the centre. Bookings can be modified or cancelled free up to one hour before your arrival time, so a change of plan costs nothing. Pay attention to the closing time, though – the lot is staffed 08:00 to 20:00, and your car needs to be out by closing unless you've arranged otherwise.
