Porto —
Picture-perfect and rising from the banks of the serene River Douro, the stunning coastal city of Porto is sure to impress thanks to its laid-back vibe, medieval charm and gorgeously picturesque offerings.
The home of Port wine, this relatively quaint destination packs a punch and promises its visitors a true immersion into everything from opulent baroque churches to outstanding seafood and a UNESCO World Heritage-listed city centre.
An ideal choice for those in search of a relaxed weekend away, Porto is linked together by a chain of historic alleyways, all of which offer hidden treasures including vibrant street art, gourmet cafés, trendy terrace bars and, most importantly, hallowed Port cellars, where tourists can sample a taste of the drink that has put this city on the map.
When it comes to attractions, none are more beloved than the Clérigos Tower, which sits high on a hill overlooking the rest of the city. Boasting a 75-metre-high bell tower, which can be reached via 225 steps, a trip up to this landmark is well worth the effort, thanks to its spectacular 360° views!
