Porto

See OfFers

Porto is Portugal's second largest city, and one of Europe's most charismatic destinations. It is full of fascinating buildings and narrow twisting streets with houses once painted or tiled in colourful facades. The city possesses an appealing pan-Iberian atmosphere with many historic charms like the magnificent churches, spectacular bridges, monuments and interesting museums that line the streets.

The old city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site but Porto isn't all culture and history. It is also a modern European city full of the bustling energy of working people during the day and the liveliness of busy "tascas" and restaurants at night. It is an ideal destination if you're looking for a rich mix of culture and fun.

Important Notice: Introduction of the EU Schengen Entry/Exit System

Please be advised that, effective from 12th October 2025, a new Entry/Exit System (EES) will be implemented for all travellers entering and exiting the EU and Schengen Area.

This digital system will replace the current manual passport stamping process by electronically recording border crossings for UK nationals and other non-EU travellers.

At this time, no action is required from travellers prior to their journey. We recommend reviewing the official government guidance to understand how this may affect your travel arrangements.
