Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in Porches
- The Biergarten sits directly on the EN125 at the Porches roundabout and is easy to reach by rental car
- Free parking is available on site
- Since the evening often involves a fair amount of beer, arranging a taxi or a designated driver for the way back is a good idea
- Accommodation around Porches, Lagoa and Carvoeiro should be booked early during the festival weeks
