Porto

Porto Synopsis

Porto's tucked-away tascas, sizzling sardine grills and high lookout points are easier to find than you'd think - this travel guide hands them to you, so every trip counts.

Marco Polo is the proud map publishing partner for Race Across the World.

Whether it's your first visit or you're back for more, this guide brings the city's quieter corners close at hand. Follow narrow lanes through Miragaia's old riverside houses, watch the Douro catch the evening light, and let the smell of grilled fish pull you into a tasca doorway.

Lightweight and pocket-sized, it's built for long waterside strolls, an afternoon in the Douro Valley, and slow evenings watching the boats drift by, with a handy pull-out map to point the way wherever you go.
