I’m trying to book flights for our Tui to Santiago pilgrimage starting September 30th. 2023. Flying to Porto seem to be the best prices I’ve found. Is there a train from Porto to Tui?

If you don’t find what you are looking for, try Porto to Valença in your search. It has slightly better connections and is just across the river from Tui.

If as wisepilgrim suggests in the post above you opt for Valença do Minho you can walk north on the Av de Sao Teotonio to pass through the splendid 17th c. Fortress which resembles a small town. Within the fortress the Pousada de Valença, aka Sao Teotonio Pousada, is a charming hotel where my husband and I have often stayed in past years in a room with a river view. From the garden of the Pousada you can directly reconnect to the camino path for the famous International Bridge leading north to Tui, Spain.
Happy planning and Buen camino!

The train is a great way to go but you need to search for Valenca, across the river from Tui. If You want, you can get the 6 am train and start walking by 8 am.
