Greater Porto Holidays & City Breaks

A unique UNESCO heritage city

Porto’s charm goes beyond its historic centre. Stretching from the Gaia riverside to vibrant neighbourhoods like Ribeira, Trindade, Bolhão, and Boa Vista, the Greater Porto area offers a dynamic mix of history, culture, and leisure. Start along the Gaia riverside, where port wine cellars tempt you with tastings, and views of Porto’s iconic Ribeira across the Douro River make for postcard-worthy moments. Want a good picture? Head up to Jardim do Morro and watch the sunset over the river while listening to live music – it’s a vibe. 

Venture over the Luís I Bridge and check out Ribeira, a UNESCO World Heritage neighborhood and the historic centre of the city. You’ll find lots of restaurants with typical food and terraces, where you can enjoy a beer with small portions of Portuguese specialties, or “petiscar” to the locals. Make your way up to Trindade and Bolhão to explore bustling markets like Mercado do Bolhão, bursting with fresh produce, artisanal goods, and authentic local charm.

Boa Vista, the cultural heart of Greater Porto, boasts architectural marvels like Casa da Música and expansive green spaces such as the serene Serralves Gardens. Nearby, foodie delights await – whether it’s gourmet cuisine in chic eateries or savouring a francesinha at a cosy local café. Greater Porto is more than a destination; it’s an experience where every corner unveils something new. Whether you’re sipping port on Gaia’s waterfront, bar-hopping in Bolhão, or marveling at Boa Vista’s cultural gems, a piece of your heart will be left in Porto.
