MEO Marés features a special, free transport service provided by STCP.
STCP has prepared a special transport operation for MEO Marés 2026, which will take place, for the first time, at Praia do Aterro, in Leça da Palmeira (Matosinhos), between July 17 and 19. The operation includes two free shuttle lines that ensure a direct connection between different points in the city of Porto and Matosinhos and the festival grounds.
Maintaining its mobility partnership with Via Verde, STCP is providing this free shuttle service, complementing the regular network offerings, encouraging the use of public transport and contributing to more efficient mobility during one of the largest music festivals in the Northern region.
