Train: Porto’s main stations are Campanhã (long‑distance) and São Bento (city centre); from Campanhã regional Comboios de Portugal (CP) services run across the district. Identify the nearest CP station to Rebordões (may be in a neighbouring municipality) and take a regional or commuter train to that station, then a local bus or taxi for the last mile.

Bus: Local bus operators (e.g., Rodonorte, local municipal services) serve smaller towns and parishes in Porto District; buses are the usual way to reach villages not directly on the rail network. Check municipal transport websites for exact timetables and fares.
