Best time to visit Porto from London

What to do in Porto: it's more than just wine
Ribeira is the must-see historic quarter: medieval lanes, views over the Douro, and vibrant atmosphere. Cross the Don Luis I bridge on foot for spectacular vistas. Vila Nova de Gaia's wine lodges are where port was born; many run tastings. Explore Livraria Lello (one of the world's most beautiful bookshops) and grab a francesinha (a meat sandwich that's dangerously good). The metro is cheap and reliable for getting around.
