The Invincible City
Whether it’s wandering down a cute alleyway, past an impressive church or through the predominantly granite Avenida dos Aliados downtown, the hilly cityscape of Porto is impressively diverse. Overlooking the Douro River estuary, this merchant city features colorful homes; industrial bridges and the affluent river bank of Foz do Douro.
Is wine your cup of tea? Take a port-wine tour through the wine caves in Vila Nova de Gaia. Interested in architecture? The Clerigos Tower and Sao Francisco Church will inspire visitors. Fancy some culture? Appreciate what Porto has to offer at the Ethnography and History Museum, Modern Art Museum at Serralves and the Casa da Musica Music Hall.
Fresh food can be purchased daily at the Mercado do Bolhao Market in downtown Baixa. More diverse goods are for sale in the shopping center right next to Dragao Stadium, home to FC Porto.

Fantastic city !
Fantastic city ! Must do train journey along Douro River absolutely stunning scenery. Train is air conditioned. Go to beaches at Villa Conde. Public transport is excellent. Must do port cellar tour - we did Ferriar and is great. Do the train journey first then port cellar tour then it all makes sense and history comes to life. Food fantastic - don't eat on Ribiera look for small restaurants up side streets and try and book before.

Would recommend a tour in a tuk tuk.
Would recommend a tour in a tuk tuk. Gave us a great over view of the sights of the river, bridges, historical buildings, even down the narrow cobbled streets. Lots of restaurants to choose from, we enjoyed a tasty lunch right down by the river and at night the whole area is buzzing. Definitely a really vibrant city for old and young alike

Porto is a beautiful city with lots to see and many restaurants to visit. Tip - some local transit (busses) aren't captured by google maps, so where google maps may tell you to walk 30 minutes from a metro station there is likely a bus running on that route. Plan ahead for local travel.

Must take Douro Valley Day trip through Viatar.
Must take Douro Valley Day trip through Viatar. Call them directly if large group. We booked 2 tours of 5 each and they sent 2 tour guides with 2 Vans. I'm recommending this trip to everyone. It was our highlight.
The trip included the Douro River cruise and they gave us unlimited Ruby Porto. They also fed us this fabulous lunch. We had 2 tours of vineyards w/ free tastings.
The trip was so worth it. We had a tag a long and for every trip we added him on it was cheaper for him to be an add on then the price we paid.

Porto is a beautiful city with something for everyone.
Porto is a beautiful city with something for everyone.
We spent most of our time exploring the city and sitting by the river duoro for drinks or food.
We also tried the hop on hop off city bus tours which gave us great views all around Porto. I would recommend the river cruise too.
I would highly recommend booking an table at Casa D'oro for lunch/dinner. The restaurant is right on the river and the view is great.
“Best hotel breakfast in all of Portugal! Conscientious and communicative staff added to a great stay. If one thing mattered more than anything, though, it was location, location, location -- Casa dos Loios is in the middle of everything!! In case you don't know where everything is, Paola will give you a huge map and point out all the sights. Besides all this, the building is very clean, well air conditioned in August, has fantastic showers, and the rooms are well designed. This was our favorite place to stay in all of Portugal!”
“The apartment was exetremely clean, modern and cosy! Even better than how it appears in the pictures. It was the best accommodation we stayed in during our trip to Portugal! Checking in was easy as well - next time we are in Porto we will try to stay here again for sure!”
“The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were fluffy and soft. Everything was like new and lovely. The upstairs bar on the rooftop overlooking the city was fabulous as was the dinning room which also overlooked the city. The food was gourmet, simply delicious! The breakfasts were, by far, the best ones of all the other hotels I stayed at in Portugal and Spain.”
“This was our second stay at NH Collection Porto Batalha during our holiday in Portugal. Upon our return, we were upgraded to a room overlooking the square.
Again, the hotel is in a grant location near the Sao Bento train station, restaurants, shopping and sights.
We highly recommend this hotel.”
