Porto Travel Guide: Flights & Hotels
Portugal · OPO
Porto, Portugal's second city, sits along the Douro River and is famous for port wine cellars, azulejo-tiled facades, and a compact, walkable historic center. It's often cheaper to fly into than Lisbon and pairs well with a Douro Valley wine-region side trip.
May, June, and September are ideal for pleasant temperatures without the summer crowds. Hotels along the Ribeira waterfront offer the most scenic stays, while budget travelers can find good value slightly uphill in the Cedofeita area.
