An ancient European centre, Porto dates back to 300 BC, when it was a Celtic settlement. Souvenirs from this era as well as later Roman and Baroque relics, remain. The city’s medieval core is a UNESCO-protected site, hemmed by ancient walls and watched over by Porto Cathedral’s soaring twin towers.

The river-hugging restaurants thrum with lively groups and families enjoying the city’s temperate climes.Stop off at a pavement cafés here and watch daily life in Porto unfold over a coffee served with a cinnamon-sprinkled pastel de nata.

Porto to Coimbra

90 minutes from Porto lies one of the oldest university towns in Europe, the riverside town of Coimbra.

Head into town and you’ll be greeted its two beautiful cathedrals; the 'new' cathedral built in the Baroque fashion and the 'old' cathedral, which is more Romanesque in style.

Porto to Caminha

Just over an hours’ drive from Porto is the sleepy riverside town of Caminha, one of the most beautiful and scenic towns in Portugal.

There’s so much to see and do once you arrive in Caminha, we’d recommend starting with the main square where you’ll get a real taste of the old town. Visit the Misericórdia church, with its stunning ornate interior and the Casa dos Pitas, a 17th century house, built in the late Manueline style.

If you’re seeking something a little more active then head to the beach popular for watersports including boating and windsurfing.

Porto to the Douro Valley

The Douro Valley is one of the most breathtaking and majestic drives in the whole of Portugal. The valley is famed for its wine production but there’s so much more to see on this route. Follow the river and you’ll see the vineyards covering the hillsides, as well as towns and villages offering a true taste of Portuguese life and culture.
