Day 1. Porto overnight

Transfer to first hotel in Porto. A relaxed start to your holiday, you’ve got time this morning to explore Porto City’s old town, its narrow streets and 12th century Sé Cathedral, and magnificent views of the Douro river.

The end of winter is extra special in this region as the local communities celebrate “Amendoeiras em Flor” (Almond-trees in Blossom). A stunning display of colours washes across the local orchards.
