If you are planning to stay for a few days in Portugal, we can recommend you a boat tour along the Douro River from Porto. You will be delightful with the beautiful landscapes which are the home of the famous Porto wine. These cruisers can offer different options which can include winery visits and wine taste.
Looking for a winery place? This is an area where you can find different Porto wineries.
Are you up for some adventure? Get your hands on a buggy and explore the nature around Baltar! Be ready for plenty of dust on a cross country experience! To ensure you have a place, please book it in advance.
If you're planning to stay for a few days, be sure to visit the largest National Park in northern Portugal, located just 90 km from Porto. It's the perfect place to escape your daily routine and immerse yourself in nature. The region boasts exceptional gastronomy, welcoming locals, and stunning landscapes. A car is necessary for this trip, as the area is somewhat remote from public transportation.
Boats are not your thing? You can still enjoy the beautiful landscapes of Douro Valley on a car. The national 222 is a famous route which has been considered for many as one of the most beautiful in the world. It is over 200 km but you don’t have to go all the way! This route will take you to amazing places along Douro River and give you the possibility to visit little towns and learn more about the amazing northern culture of Portugal.
Depending on weather conditions you can also enjoy some beach days and who knows try out some surfing (kids too) in one of the many beaches around Porto. Water will be cold but if the sun is heating, you can definitely have a nice day. Pay attention if the beach season is still open as this may impact the presence of Lifeguards in the area, do not risk! If going to water is not a possibility, no worries you can still walk around near the coast and have some delicious sea food.
