What to eat

Pop the cork on a holiday to Porto for an unforgettable getaway, where a zest for life (and a glass of port wine) is often celebrated here as happily half-full rather than empty! Marry a traditional dish with a drop of this legendary drink, named after the city of Porto itself, for a real palette-pleaser. Mouth-watering Portuguese food brings memorable meal times to the table that are worth toasting to, especially on an All-Inclusive holiday to Porto… Similar to the Spanish word “Salud!” you can look forward to raising your glass of port and joining the locals in saying “Saúde!” Pronounced “sah-ood,” it holds the meaning of “Cheers to your health!”

Things to do

Or, even better ‘wine’ not book yourself on a tour in the dazzling Douro Valley and soak up the history of port production (and tantalise your taste buds even further) as you explore the vibrant vineyards?! The wine is then aged in the city before being shipped worldwide and where better to taste it than right from its roots at this UNESCO World Heritage Site?! There’s a wide range of excursions, including some that take you to the local historical villages and to drink in the dreamy views of lush terraced hills, or that also combines a relaxing trip on a traditional Portuguese ‘rabelo’ boat… Bliss! Sounds rather romantic, especially if you’re looking for Porto holidays for couples. Many would say a holiday here is incomplete without a port wine cellar tour so don’t miss out, whether you’re staying for a 2 nights or 14 nights holiday to Porto, make sure it’s on your itinerary for great things to see and do in Portugal.
