A trip to Portugal isn’t complete without a visit to Porto, but there’s so much more to be discovered in its immediate surroundings. Here’s a couple of day tours you should consider taking if your trip to Porto is long enough.

This region is well-known for its wine production, and if you’re a huge fan of this beverage, going on a river cruise with scenic valley views is a perfect way to spend a day.

If a trip to Porto isn’t enough to satisfy your cravings for stunning architecture, these two cities located in the north certainly will.

Peneda-Gerês National Park

If you’re a nature lover visiting Portugal, it doesn’t get much better than visiting one of the most breathtaking national parks this country has in store.

Aveiro and Coimbra

If you can’t resist tiny brightly-colored towns, Aveiro is one of Portugal’s must-see spots, and why not visit the historic city of Coimbra when you’re already there?
