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.

You'll find plenty of places to visit near Porto: Anca Fountain (in Anca), Coimbra (University of Coimbra, Jardim Botanico, &more) and Bom Jesus do Monte (in Braga). Dedicate the 7th (Mon) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. There's still lots to do: snap pictures at Ponte de Dom Luis I, get the lay of the land with Walking tours, contemplate the waterfront views at Douro River, and enjoy breathtaking views from Torre dos Clerigos.
