Porto & Northern Portugal

Trip Planning & Itineraries

Portugal's second-biggest city, Porto (Oporto to foreigners), has a brawny beauty all its own. Built on granite bluffs above the Rio Douro, its heart is a tangle of World Heritage-listed lanes tumbling steeply down to a medieval waterfront.

The Alto Douro (upper Douro) east of Peso da Régua is a harsh, hot landscape heavily refashioned by two millennia of pumping out wine. Terraced vineyards wrap around every precipitous, crew-cut hillside, and whitewashed port-wine quintas (estates) dot the valley.

Suggested Itineraries: Porto & Around

Porto - Portugal's second city - has a vibrant cultural scene bubbling with nightlife, history, arts and sporting action. This is also a region rich in history, dotted with extraordinary monasteries, age-old bridges and a unique collection of Stone-Age art.

Despite being a popular seaside resort, the salty-dog town of Vila do Conde retains much of its historical character as a ship-building port, also famous for its lace and handicrafts.

Amarante is also famous for its eggy pastries - and not just the phallic cakes that appear during the cheerful festivals of São Gonçalo.
