Visit the picture-perfect Porto, Northern Portugal’s star city, to see its stunning metallic bridges, traditional houses, and its many wine cellars – and perhaps even indulge in a few wine tasting sessions yourself. Medieval and baroque monuments pepper the streets of Porto, while in Douro, almond and olive trees line the rolling hills. Roman relics stand strong in Chaves and Braganca; castles adorn the city of Guimaraes; and nature thrives in the Northern Littoral Natural Park. Porto and Northern Portugal holidays offer a kaleidoscope of sensations and scenery. Come to this corner of the country and you'll get to enjoy the good life.
If you’re an amateur sommelier at heart, a trip to the home of port wine is the adventure your taste buds have been waiting for. Visit the wine cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia and become a true expert, learning how to tell your aged Tawnies from your youthful Rubies. Strolling through the idyllic vineyards is enough to inspire anyone to learn the tricks of the trade.
If you want to explore Porto and the Douro Valley, be it on a short weekend away or a longer Portuguese getaway, we have more than a few ideas to help you create your ideal stay. How about soaking up the region’s atmosphere, while staying in a quinta (a traditional villa) perched on the river and surrounded by vineyards? Or perhaps you prefer the idea of staying a little longer and touring through the region by train and boat. If you’d rather spend your days in opulent luxury, stay in one of the region’s most beautiful mansions or, if the desire to discover pushes you a little further out, opt for an itinerary that will take you from Porto to Lisbon through some of the country's most sensational sites.
Enjoy a stay, surrounded by greenery, near the Peneda-Geres National Park in a traditional mansion. Surrounded by a craftsman’s workshop, several barns and country buildings, you’ll experience the laid-back charm of hamlet life. Wander through tranquil gardens, snooze on shaded patios when you need a break from the Portuguese sun and savour a sweet slice of honey-soaked bread.
