Portugal’s second-largest city, and the one that gave the country (and port wine) its name, Porto is the perfect blend of classic vibes and modern energy. First off, it's a fantastic walking city. Stroll the winding cobblestone streets and take in 18th-century townhouses alongside chic shops, restaurants, and design-forward boutique hotels. And be sure to check out the port wine cellars across the Douro River at Vila Nova de Gaia. Porto's also a hotspot for contemporary art, from the Museu de Arte Contemporanea de Serralves (a modern art mecca) to the galleries on Rua Miguel Bombarda. But to deep dive on the city’s history, head to its old town—the vibrant Ribeira district. A UNESCO World heritage site, it shows centuries-old architecture (its 14th-century São Francisco church is a main attraction) against a backdrop of some fantastic views of the Douro River. There's a lot more to see and we've got all your recs below.
