30 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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Porto: Povoa de Varzim (Falua Massage Studio & Igreja da Lapa), Guimaraes (Domus Municipalis, Padrao do Salado, &more) and Coimbra (Largo da Portagem, Praca do Comercio, &more). Dedicate the 28th (Sun) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. And it doesn't end there: snap pictures at Ponte de Dom Luis I, steep yourself in history at Porto Cathedral (Se Catedral), learn the secrets of beer at a beer tour and tasting, and let your taste buds guide you at a local gastronomic tour.
