SABA Mercado in Matosinhos costs from €1.45 for the first hour, and a full day booked online starts at €10.80 with SABA’s Multidia pass (€13.30 on Parclick), checked on 29 October 2026. It is a covered, 24-hour car park on Rua Roberto Ivens, next to the municipal market and about 145 m from Mercado metro station (Line A). The height limit is 2.1 m. Street parking nearby is free on Sundays and after 12:30 on Saturdays.
Do you need a car in Matosinhos? Not to get to Porto: metro Line A runs from Mercado station to Trindade in central Porto. A car is worth it for the Douro Valley, Braga, Guimarães or the northern beaches. Porto Airport is only 8 km away by road, about 10 minutes outside rush hour: compare car hire at Porto Airport on DiscoverCars, or read our Porto car rental guide.

The seafood restaurants of Rua Heróis de França and the streets around the market are a short walk away. To reach central Porto, take Line A towards Estádio do Dragão: the timetable gives 26–27 minutes to Trindade from Matosinhos Sul, two stops further on, so allow about half an hour from Mercado.
Streets around the market are limited-duration zones. Under the municipal regulation you pay on working days 9:00–20:00 and on Saturdays 9:00–12:30; Sundays and public holidays are free, and the maximum stay is 4 hours. Since July 2024 the first 15 minutes are free if you enter your number plate at the machine or in the app. The council does not publish the hourly rate online, so we do not quote one: check the meter.
The council lists more than 2,500 free spaces in six car parks, including a 451-space car park on Avenida D. Afonso Henriques (next to the former vaccination centre), Parque 25 de Abril, the municipal swimming-pool car park and the car park at Câmara metro station.
