4 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.

Get out of town with these interesting Porto side-trips: University of Coimbra (in Coimbra) and Basilica de Nossa Senhora do Rosario de Fatima (in Fatima). There's much more to do: take in the views from Ponte de Dom Luis I, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Porto Cathedral (Se Catedral), stroll through Museu Serralves, and take in the local highlights with Walking tours.
