Porto and Sao Miguel by Air

Porto (also known as Oporto) is the second city of Portugal, and a hub for the northern part of the country in terms of arts, entertainment, culture and shopping. Previously conquered by the Celts, Romans and Moors, Porto has been a jewel in the Portuguese royal crown for nearly a millennium. The city offers art treasures, medieval cathedrals, museums, shopping, and delicious food and drink, all while tourists enjoy breathtaking views of the River Douro, which empties into the Atlantic just three miles from the city center. Don't miss the center, in particular the Ribeira neighborhood, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Visit Porto Cathedral (Sé), Clerigos Church and Tower, Palacio da Bolsa, the gardens at the Palacio de Cristal, Ponte Dom Luis I, the port wine lodges of Vila Nova de Gaia, the Funicular dos Guindais, Praça da Liberdade, Avenida dos Aliados, and so much more!

Sao Miguel is the largest and most popular of the Azores Islands chain. Portuguese explorers and settlers first inhabited Sao Miguel Island in the 15th century and were so impressed with the tranquil, lush isle that they dubbed it the Green Island. You can stroll down historic avenues in the capital Ponta Delgada, swim with the dolphins, or sun yourself on lakeshores formed by underwater massifs -- all in one day!

Explore the Portas da Cidade, Lagoa das Sete Cidades, Mercado da Graca, Jardim Antonio Borges, Museu Carlos Machado, and more!
