Porto, Portugal

Porto has a lot to offer the intrepid traveller. This city has a Unesco-listed historic centre, defined by steep, cobbled streets and the highly decorative azulejo (blue-and-white tile) facades of old churches. Don’t miss Livraria Lello, with its stained-glass skylight, curved staircase and decorative wood features, often regarded as one of the best bookshops in the world. The city is well connected and has a low crime rate. Portugal is ranked fourth on the GPI. Porto is the gateway to the Douro Valley, a world-class port and wine region, which you can visit as part of our exclusive nine-day Portugal trip, designed for small groups of culturally curious travellers.
