Is it safe to walk to the Airporto Hostel at midnight?

[Elary Jack]

I'm eagerly anticipating my first camino at the end of June. My flight to Porto arrives at midnight and I've booked a bed at the Airporto Hostel, which appears to be a short walk from the airport. Could those of you with experience tell me whether it would be safe to walk to the hostel alone, or if a taxi would be necessary at that time of night? (I understand that busses and shuttles will be unavailable at that time.) My instinct is to walk, but I don't want to be foolhardy.

Its in an industrial area just off the main road 10 minutes walk from the airport,quiet at night,cant imagine a taxi costing a great deal,theres a Metro station near by,but a taxi would be less hassle,if your not sure ask the owners advice, they are nice helpful ladies.

I would go for a taxi. Why take a risk .

Porto airport is really small and the area around it looked quite safe from this woman's perspective ;-) If it were me, I would walk ... BC SY

I would walk but I'm portuguese and I feel safe in my country.
If I was in a foreign country I would probably take a cab.

I was in the same situation in June 2015. I walked and it felt safe.

My guess is that it would be fine to walk.As I remember, you can just follow the tram tracks down a main road, the hostel is a few mins walk away down a turning to the right.
