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.

Relax by the water at Praia da Luz and Praia do Homem do Leme. Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Rua Santa Catarina and Fundação De Serralves. There's much more to do: snap pictures at Ponte de Dom Luis I, contemplate the waterfront views at Rio Douro, go for a stroll along the water at Cais da Ribeira, and kick back and relax at Praia do Carneiro.
