Are you planning a metropolis journey on the weekend? With seven direct flights from Dublin and new weekly flights from Shannon, Porto is on our radar. Town has a brand new cultural district, on the Douro River, with seven interactive museums, a number of eating places and bars, exhibitions and a wine college (which is WSET licensed). For an expensive gastronomic getaway, keep at The Yeatman, which overlooks the town, or within the outdated city on the distinctly stylish Canto de Luz. The Portuguese are masters of blending and matching understated items that serve each trend and performance.
