Porto

When exploring Portugal, many tend to focus on the capital city of Lisbon. However, those in the know understand that Porto, its charming sister city, offers its own delightful attractions. With its manageable size, visitors can easily explore multiple destinations in a single day. Dive into a breathtaking swimming pool, capture the beauty of a train station that deserves its own visit, and savor the captivating views of the Duoro River and the magnificent Dom Luis I iron bridge leading to Gaia. And let's not forget that Porto is the birthplace of port wine—exploring the Vila Nova de Gaia wine cellars to discover more about this renowned export is an absolute must.
