5 days in Porto Itinerary

Called "Oporto" by many, the city of Porto along the Duoro River lent the country and Port wine their names. Portugal's second-largest metropolis dates back to the 4th century, representing both a rich cultural past and industrial present through its architecture and style.

Explore Porto's surroundings by going to Coimbra (Jardim Botanico, Igreja e Mosteiro da Santa Cruz, &more). Dedicate the 16th (Sat) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. There's lots more to do: take in the views from Ponte de Dom Luis I, take a stroll around Palacio da Bolsa, take in the local highlights with Walking tours, and contemplate the waterfront views at Douro River.
