Getting There
Quinta da Pacheca
Rua do Relógio do Sol 261, 5100-424 Lamego, Portugal
Traveling from Abroad
If you're flying in, the closest airport is in Porto (Aeroporto Francisco Sá Carneiro). From there, you can:
-
Take public transportation
-
Make your way to Porto Campanhã (train station)
-
Take a train to Peso da Régua (~2h and €11/person)
-
5min taxi ride to Quinta da Pacheca
-
-
Take an Uber directly, which should cost about €75 and take ~1h20
-
Rent a car, if you plan to travel more before/after the wedding
​​
We do not recommend flying to Lisbon, unless you plan to travel in the area in the days before the wedding.
​
Note 1: Passport control in Portuguese/EU airports in late 2025 / early 2026 has taken longer than usual (sometimes >5h). We hope it will improve, but please be aware of potential delays on arrival.
​
Note 2: Please check your Schengen area entry requirements and plan enough time to get a Schengen visa if needed. Depending on where you apply to get the visa, it can be tricky to find available time slots or run into other delays.
​
Traveling from within Portugal
Driving from Lisbon to the venue takes ~4h. The most direct route is via A1 > IP3 > A24. If anyone is struggling to find people to carpool with, let us know and we will try to connect you with others also driving from Lisbon.
Public transportation requires a 2h40 train between Lisbon Oriente and Porto Campanhã, which costs €35/person. When you get to Porto, the same path as those flying into Porto applies (see the Traveling from Abroad section).
​
If you're coming from another place other than Lisbon, let us know if you need help on how to get to Quinta da Pacheca.

Vila Gale Collection Douro
Price: €€
Distance: 3min drive; 20min walk (hilly)
​
Vila Gale is a well-known Portuguese hotel chain. This 4-star hotel is close to the venue, but will likely still require taking a taxi to/from the venue, since the road is hilly, there is no sidewalk, and it's a bit bumpy right outside of Pacheca.
Hotel Columbano
Price: €
Distance: 10min drive; 1h+ walk (hilly)
​
Located in the centre of the nearby town (Peso da Régua), this is an affordable option with all the essentials.
However, we do definitely recommend taking a taxi to/from Pacheca.
