The festival… and the city
On top of all this, by choosing Primavera Sound Porto, you’re also choosing the city that has been consistently voted one of the world’s best tourist destinations.
And if you’re leaving from Lisbon (by car), you’re just over three hours away; and an hour if you’re flying, as this festival also benefits from a transportation network that connects the airport directly to downtown and the venue.
