Porto City Council to vote on starting tourist tax revision process on Tuesday

Porto's city council will vote on Tuesday to initiate the administrative procedure for revising the municipal tourist tax regulations, following the mayor's previous statements about potentially raising the fee from 3 to 4 or 5 euros to fund free public transport for residents until 2027. The proposal sets a 10-working-day public consultation period for interested parties to submit contributions once published, though no specific new value is stated in the current text. Porto collected 32.3 million euros in tourist tax revenue in 2025, representing a 54.5% increase compared to 2024.
