Porto is considered the second most important city of Portugal, after Lisbon, the Capital.
Although, for Northern people, Porto is even more important than Lisbon. It’s the Capital of Northern Portugal.
Also called “Oporto”, by foreigners, the city of Porto is vibrant. With its elegant colors and the river Douro atmosphere, is definitely a place to spend few days while visiting Portugal.
From Porto, you can easily visit Douro Valley, Aveiro, Braga, or Guimarães, on day trips.
There are several hotels to choose from, but I selected this shortlist of The 5 Best Hotels in Porto:
1) Pestana Palacio do Freixo: Link
2) Infante Sagres – Luxury Historical Hotels: Link
3) Maison Albar Monumental Palace: Link
4) Porto AS1829: Link
5) The Yeatman: Link
