Porto & the Douro Valley
Port wine aged in cellars along a river gorge terraced for vines since Roman times, an old town of tiled façades tumbling down to the water, and a bridge view of the whole scene that earns every photo taken from it.
The best time to visit Porto & the Douro Valley is Apr–Jun, Sep–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 20°C (68°F). Local time there is 15:32 (UTC+1).
