Porto landscape

Region guide

Porto

Porto is Portugal's second city and, for many visitors, its most loveable — a dense, textured riverside city of crumbling azulejo facades, port wine cellars, and an independent food and design culture that has made it one of Europe's most talked-about short-break destinations. The hotel scene is intimate and characterful, with converted townhouses and small design hotels concentrated in the historic centre.
