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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Basilica de Nossa Senhora do Rosario de Fatima (in Fatima) and University of Coimbra (in Coimbra). There's still lots to do: indulge your taste buds at Food & Drink, take in panoramic vistas at Torre dos Clerigos, take a leisurely stroll along Cais da Ribeira, and get into the urban bustle at Palacio da Bolsa.

To find reviews, other places to visit, maps, and more tourist information, use the Porto road trip site.

If you are flying in from United States, the closest major aiport is Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport. In September, daily temperatures in Porto can reach °F, while at night they dip to °F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 19th (Thu) so you can travel back home.
