Overview
Plan your visit: the sights of Porto, what to eat and where to stay.
Porto travel guide
Porto rises in steep granite terraces above the River Douro, near the Atlantic coast of northern Portugal. Its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the city has a lively, down-to-earth character, with tiled churches, narrow lanes and cafés that fill up at any hour.
What to see
Start in Ribeira, the riverside quarter of coloured houses, then cross the double-deck Dom Luís I bridge to Vila Nova de Gaia, where the port wine lodges offer tastings. Back in the centre, climb the Clérigos Tower, look at the azulejo panels in São Bento station, and visit the Palácio da Bolsa and the Livraria Lello bookshop.
What to eat
Try a francesinha, Porto's famous layered sandwich, tripas à moda do Porto, the dish that gave locals the nickname "tripeiros", and caldo verde. End with a glass of port wine, or a crisp vinho verde from the Minho.
Nearby
Across the river is Vila Nova de Gaia; on the coast, Matosinhos is known for its fish restaurants. The Douro Valley vineyards make a beautiful day trip.
Getting there
Porto Airport is a short drive from the centre. GoToo drives you to your hotel at a fixed price per vehicle, with flight tracking, and can also take you on to the Douro Valley or Lisbon.
