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.

Situated conveniently in the centre of Porto, Artcore Hotel Porto offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, private parking and room service.
Guest review
We were impressed with the room, décor, staff, and overall service. It was a birthday gift for my partner, and the team went above and beyond by surprising her with a cake and sparkling wine. The reception staff were extremely helpful and handled our outside restaurant bookings, following up with us to confirm everything.
After we checked out, the hotel realised we had forgotten a few items. They contacted us immediately, even before we noticed ourselves.
Coming from a catering background both of us, I can say a very big well done to the entire team. Keep it up — we will definitely be returning

Guest review
Such a magic place to enjoy the nature
Breathtaking views to vineyards and to the river
The best place on the Douro to have amazing views on the river, because it is possible to see 2 directions
Wonderful meals in the hotel, beautiful dining room with pleasant music
Ideal mix of comfort and closeness to nature
Recommend all tours on the territory of the quinta, it is worth it
Quinta has an own museum, which is also very recommended to visit
Huge territory of the quinta, one of the biggest ones in the region
Wine tasting is also recommended, we bought 25 bottles of wine after it:-)
Very good olive oil, produced in this quinta, recommend to buy
Friendly and helpful people
