3 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.

Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Porto Cathedral (Se Catedral) and Palacio da Bolsa. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Porto Free Walking Tour and Food Tours. Next up on the itinerary: explore the world behind art at Fundação De Serralves, take in the spiritual surroundings of Igreja da Ordem Terceira de São Francisco, take in panoramic vistas at Clerigos Tower, and contemplate the waterfront views at Rio Douro.

To find where to stay, photos, traveler tips, and tourist information, refer to the Porto holiday planner.

The Route module shows you travel options from your home to Porto. In July, plan for daily highs up to 28°C, and evening lows to 17°C.
