Porto

Porto is an edgy and colourful city that's perfect for exploring on foot. From your central location, you are just a three-minute walk from the popular, multi-level Bolhão Market. Here you can live like a local, browsing stalls for the freshest fruit and vegetables, and picking up on-the-go lunches or quirky souvenirs. A short stroll will also lead you to the historic Avenida dos Aliados. This central avenue, home to the Porto City Hall, is lined with impressive architecture and is a great starting point for seeing the city.

You’ll also want to make time for a visit to the iconic Clérigos Tower, an 18th-century baroque structure and the tallest bell tower in Portugal, offering fantastic city views. For culture lovers, the famous Lello Bookstore is within walking distance, as is the bustling Ageas Porto Coliseum, which hosts a variety of shows. Don't miss out on trying the unique francesinha sandwich, a local speciality, and sampling some port wine while you’re here, especially with the renowned Alto Douro wine valley nearby.
