Planning Portugal and only thinking about Lisbon? Porto deserves a place on the itinerary.
In the heart of the city, Infante Sagres has been part of Porto since 1951, when it opened as the city’s first luxury hotel. Its interiors still have plenty of character, including a beautiful stained-glass staircase, while its downtown location puts Livraria Lello, the Ribeira riverfront, and the port wine lodges of Vila Nova de Gaia within easy reach.
And Porto pairs especially well with a few days in the Douro Valley, just outside the city, for vineyard visits, beautiful scenery, and a different side of northern Portugal.
