Practical information for your trip
Porto is located in northern Portugal, along the Atlantic coast, at the mouth of the Douro River. The city lies about 300 kilometers north of Lisbon and is one of Portugal’s most important cultural and historical centers.
When visiting Porto, it’s worth taking a few things into account to enjoy the city comfortably and authentically. The city is built on steep hills, so good walking shoes are essential. In popular areas like Ribeira and on trams, keep an eye on your belongings. When dining out, small starters may be placed on the table automatically-these are not free and will be charged if you eat them. Finally, take your time to explore beyond the main sights, as Porto reveals its true charm in quieter streets, viewpoints, and local neighborhoods.
To see the city and its many facets at a leisurely pace, it is best to plan for 3 days.
