Vila Nova de Gaia

Vibrant, colourful Porto is the stuff of city break dreams: the UNESCO-listed city centre is perfect to explore on foot, ambling between characterful bookstores and coffee joints, seeking out the best spots for local staples like pastéis de natas and francesinhas, sipping Port wine in hidden cellars and admiring the eclectic, pastel-hued architecture. There are Gothic churches, tiled and cobbled streets, staggering murals and ornate palacios everywhere you turn. Situated just south of the main historic city centre in Vila Nova de Gaia, you’re perfectly placed for exploring further afield: taking a relaxing cruise along the river Douro – the magnificent ribbon of water that bisects the city, spending a day at the beach or hopping between bars and cellars in the riverside district of Ribeira, where you can soak up the atmosphere (and hopefully, the sun!) over a glass of Port.
