Curator’s statement
You could say Porto is one of the new “it” cities of Europe. Because of Portugal’s size, it’s also an easy weekend trip by train or car up from Lisbon. Although it’s the second largest city in Portugal, Porto still feels easy to navigate, especially when you’re hunting down your next memorable experience or meal!
