Porto trip planning
Book these five things for Porto. Then stop shopping.
- Hotel — coast or centre. Póvoa / Vila do Conde base.
- One Gaia cellar tasting — timed entry in summer.
- Douro Valley or not — tour or train, not both. Compare.
- Car or airport transfer — after metro vs car.
- First dinner near the hotel — Friday–Saturday in peak months.
Tile shops and sunset spots can wait until you are in Porto.
