Less touristy than the Algarve, Porto has long been a cultural hub, and a highlight of the country’s coastline. And it’s fast becoming one of Europe’s top food and drink destinations.
Compared to other European cities, Porto offers high-quality dining at a fraction of the price. Though small - just 41 km² compared to Lisbon’s 100 km² - you can easily spend four days wandering its hilly streets, soaking up the views, enjoying rooftop bars, and indulging in its vibrant cuisine. It boasts Michelin-starred restaurants, there’s a new guard of visionary young chefs, and a thriving mix of fine dining and casual tabernas.
