Porto Vacation Deals

Porto, also known as Oporto, is Portugal’s second largest city and one of its most atmospheric. Set along the Douro River and stretching toward the Atlantic, Porto blends history, culture, and food in a way that feels authentic and easy to enjoy. For Canadian travellers, it is a perfect mix of old world character and relaxed city life.

The historic center of Porto is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where medieval streets, tiled façades, and colorful riverside buildings create a postcard setting. The heart of the city is Ribeira, a lively waterfront neighborhood filled with narrow alleyways, traditional taverns, and cafés overlooking the river. Walk along the promenade at sunset and take in views of the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge and the famous port wine cellars across the water in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Porto is also a city for food and wine lovers. Evenings in Ribeira come alive with riverside restaurants, wine bars, and live music tucked beneath historic arches. A visit to Porto is not complete without a Douro Valley wine tasting, where you can sample world famous port wine and enjoy scenic vineyard landscapes just outside the city.

History lovers will appreciate landmarks like the Igreja de São Francisco, known for its ornate baroque interior and catacombs, as well as the striking Sao Bento Railway Station, famous for its azulejo tile panels. For art and design enthusiasts, the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art and the elegant Casa de Serralves offer a modern contrast set within peaceful gardens.
