Portugal is crammed with history, culture and cuisine, and these three characteristics have seen it visited by over 10 million tourists a year (and counting). Add stunning scenery to that list and you’ve got an endless supply of activities to keep you occupied.
The country is renowned for its enchanting cities, with the capital of Lisbon perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Its distinctive culture is emphasised by traditional fado music reverberating through the charming cobblestone streets and pastelarias serving up delicious pastéis de nata (custard tarts). For a unique way to explore the beautiful old town, hop aboard tram 28 – one of a few old fashioned tram lines still operating in Lisbon today. Porto, the second-largest city, offers up a charming medieval centre, coastal walks and bistros serving up ‘Francesinha’– a typical meat and cheese-filled sandwich distinctive to the city. Many popular beaches can be found closeby, such as the scenic shores of Gaia or Espinho. Hotels, B&Bs and apartments are dotted all over the country. You’ll also find a variety of guest houses and unique accommodation houses in charming manor houses or restored stone cottages and farmhouses.

When you enter the hotel, you are transported to another reality, thanks to the beautiful architecture, nature, facilities such as a swimming pool, jacuzzi, and above all, thanks to the people working there, who as a team do everything to make you feel relaxed.

Situated conveniently in the centre of Porto, Artcore Hotel Porto offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, private parking and room service.
Guest review
The hotel personnel at the reception and in the bar/kitchen were very friendly, and they allowed us to check in early. They even gave us complimentary wine because it was our wedding anniversary — super sweet! The room was cleaned every day.
The hotel is located just outside the old center in a quiet area. We had a very nice stay and are sure we will come back

Guest review
Fantastic hotel, would 100% recommend.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Probably the best hotel breakfast we’ve ever had!
Unlimited access to the coffee machine.
Loads of easy parking.
Great location.
Lovely pool and spa.
The room was very large and had a powerful shower.
Everyone was new as the hotel was only been open for a year.
We had a problem with our flight - it was delayed by 6 hours until after 3am, so Tony (the hotel owner), kindly picked us up (as the taxi ranks were closed). The hotel staff had excellent communication when discussing our delayed flight problem through the booking.com website.
