8 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Coimbra (Jardim Botanico, Igreja e Mosteiro da Santa Cruz, &more). There's still lots to do: snap pictures at Ponte de Dom Luis I, let your taste buds guide you at a local gastronomic tour, take a stroll around Palacio da Bolsa, and get the lay of the land with Walking tours.

To find where to stay, more things to do, maps, and tourist information, read Porto day trip planning website.

If you are flying in from United States, the closest major aiport is Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport. In April in Porto, expect temperatures between 65°F during the day and 50°F at night.
