To enrich your journey to Porto and the Douro Valley, I recommend exploring some great guides and books. "Lonely Planet Portugal" is an excellent travel guide for first-time visitors and seasoned explorers alike. For a deeper dive into Porto's culture and history, try "Porto: Gateway to the World" by Richard Zimler. If you enjoy wine, "The Wines and Vineyards of Portugal" by Richard Mayson will make your Douro Valley tour even more enjoyable. For local insights, the "Rick Steves Portugal" guide is also a fantastic resource. These books will help you make the most out of your adventure, and you'll arrive well-prepared to discover Porto’s charm!

About the destination

Situated in a dramatic valley carved by the River Douro, Porto is renowned for the beauty of its buildings and the sweet taste of its wine. The city's hub is Avenida dos Aliados, a broad avenue encircled by Praça General H. Delgado and Praça da Liberdade. However, the most captivating part of the city is Ribeira, the river district and a Unesco World Heritage Site, where three of Europe’s most elegant bridges span the gorge. The bustling Praça da Liberdade and the adjoining Avenida dos Aliados form the town centre, where statues stand in the middle of busy mosaic walkways. Nearby stands Porto’s magnificent cathedral, a massive, fortified Romanesque structure whose heavy granite foundations, thick walls and small windows enclose a gloomy interior. The Ribeira stretches along the river, bordered by a wonderful quay filled with shops and restaurants. Porto’s most distinctive monument, the ornate Torre dos Clérigos, offers a panorama of the city from atop its 240 steps. No visit to Porto would be complete without a stop at some of the many bodegas, wine lodges, where port is stored and bottled. And a visit to the amazing Lello library with its spiral staircase, is a must see as well, even if you're not a Harry Potter fan.
