The majority of river cruises to the Douro Valley depart from the Quay of Vila Nova de Gaia and end at the Pinho or Peso da R\u00e9gua quays. Morning boats on the Douro River to R\u00e9gua depart between 8 and 9 a.m. Because the trip takes half a day, most sailings include breakfast and lunch on board. Some offer wine samples directly from the vineyard&#8217;s producer. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/porto-l151\/from-porto-douro-valley-cruise-wine-tasting-day-trip-t382254\/?partner_id=BHUG4LD&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle&amp;cmp=WeekendBreaksPortugal-LinkButton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"color: var(--stk-global-color-27229, #003f48);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 50%, var(--stk-global-color-45061, #f1dda9) 50%)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Check the tour<\/span><\/a><\/strong>. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-box stk-block-icon-box stk-block stk-c9ad7f7\" data-v=\"2\" data-block-id=\"c9ad7f7\"><style>.stk-c9ad7f7{margin-bottom:10px !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-block-icon-box__content stk-container stk-c9ad7f7-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-118c726\" data-block-id=\"118c726\"><style>.stk-118c726{margin-bottom:4px !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon has-text-align-left stk-block stk-33b98ec\" data-block-id=\"33b98ec\"><style>.stk-33b98ec .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child,.stk-33b98ec .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child :is(g,path,rect,polygon,ellipse){fill:var(--stk-global-color-27229,#003f48) !important}<\/style><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-33b98ec\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-33-b-98-ec-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-33-b-98-ec-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"car\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-car fa-w-16\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M499.99 176h-59.87l-16.64-41.6C406.38 91.63 365.57 64 319.5 64h-127c-46.06 0-86.88 27.63-103.99 70.4L71.87 176H12.01C4.2 176-1.53 183.34.37 190.91l6 24C7.7 220.25 12.5 224 18.01 224h20.07C24.65 235.73 16 252.78 16 272v48c0 16.12 6.16 30.67 16 41.93V416c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32h256v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-54.07c9.84-11.25 16-25.8 16-41.93v-48c0-19.22-8.65-36.27-22.07-48H494c5.51 0 10.31-3.75 11.64-9.09l6-24c1.89-7.57-3.84-14.91-11.65-14.91zm-352.06-17.83c7.29-18.22 24.94-30.17 44.57-30.17h127c19.63 0 37.28 11.95 44.57 30.17L384 208H128l19.93-49.83zM96 319.8c-19.2 0-32-12.76-32-31.9S76.8 256 96 256s48 28.71 48 47.85-28.8 15.95-48 15.95zm320 0c-19.2 0-48 3.19-48-15.95S396.8 256 416 256s32 12.76 32 31.9-12.8 31.9-32 31.9z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-5674420\" id=\"car\" data-block-id=\"5674420\"><h4 class=\"stk-block-heading__text stk-block-heading--use-theme-margins\">CAR<\/h4><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-e34ce6f\" data-block-id=\"e34ce6f\"><style>.stk-e34ce6f{margin-top:-30px !important}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Renting a car at the airport or in Porto city centre, you will enjoy an epic trip through the Douro Valley, experiencing different scenarios.

Today the whole District is part of the many <strong>weekend breaks in Portugal<\/strong> a traveller can choose. Faro is the point of arrival for travellers to the Algarve region; visitors usually book a bus and immediately leave for nearby villages. However, with a significant cultural heritage, a beautifully-preserved old town, good-value accommodation, tantalising seafood dishes, and a busy nightlife, this seaside city is well worth a visit in its own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though it is busy in summer, it is still worth visiting between June and September. For a great day trip from Faro, <strong>we suggest writing down Tavira<\/strong>. <strong>Regularly described as the prettiest town in the Algarve, this picture-perfect town is ideal for unwinding<\/strong>. The white walls and red terracotta roofs, cobblestones and small fishing boats are just beautiful and proper traditional Portuguese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-to-algarve-and-faro\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>How to get to Algarve and Faro<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Faro Airport is the only flight hub in Portugal&#8217;s far south. Other choices for flying to the Algarve exist; however, they are slightly less convenient. From Faro Airport you can reach the city centre easily. Take the buses 16 or 14 from the terminal, which costs \u20ac2.30 for one trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/University-of-Coimbra-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"Main square of Coimbra University in Portugal\" class=\"wp-image-21890\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/University-of-Coimbra-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/University-of-Coimbra-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/University-of-Coimbra-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/University-of-Coimbra-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/University-of-Coimbra.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"enjoy-coimbra-at-the-weekend\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Enjoy Coimbra at the weekend<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the perfect <strong>weekend breaks in Portugal<\/strong>; you should consider an off the beaten path destination. Despite its lesser-known status, Coimbra is a <strong>must-see destination in Portugal<\/strong>. The Centre of the traditional Fado Culture of Portugal is perfect for a few days in the local culture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying in Coimbra for two days, we suggest focusing on the best things to do in Coimbra, mainly the University and the old town. You can also consider spending <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/porto-in-one-day-itinerary\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1888\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"color: var(--stk-global-color-27229, #003f48);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 50%, var(--stk-global-color-27309, #cce5ea) 50%)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">one day in Porto<\/span><\/a><\/strong> and Coimbra. Doing that, you must fly into Portugal on Friday or leave on Monday. A visit to Coimbra means spending a long <strong>weekend break in Portugal<\/strong>, more than just a quick escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-to-coimbra\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>How to get to Coimbra<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Coimbra&#8217;s nearest airport is Porto, located about 120 Km away from the city. Therefore, we suggest not considering Lisbon as your airport, especially if you intend to spend just a <strong>weekend in Portugal<\/strong>. The airport of Lisbon is 190 km distant from Coimbra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TRAIN |<\/strong> Comboios De Portugal operates rail services from Coimbra to Porto, which depart from Coimbra-B station. The best method to travel from Coimbra to Porto is by train, which takes 1 hour and 5 minutes and costs between \u20ac8 and \u20ac12.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BUS | <\/strong>The alternative to the train is to travel by bus. The journey from Porto to Coimbra takes about 1 hour and 25 minutes, slightly longer than the train. The route has several departures throughout the day and costs between \u20ac8 and \u20ac20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1142\" height=\"643\" src=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Aveiro-Portugal-Italian-Trip-Abroad-Azulejos-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Azulejos in AVeiro Portugal - Best weekend trips in Portugal\" class=\"wp-image-21928\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Aveiro-Portugal-Italian-Trip-Abroad-Azulejos-edited.jpg 1142w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Aveiro-Portugal-Italian-Trip-Abroad-Azulejos-edited-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Aveiro-Portugal-Italian-Trip-Abroad-Azulejos-edited-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Aveiro-Portugal-Italian-Trip-Abroad-Azulejos-edited-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italiantripabroad.it\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Aveiro-Portugal-Italian-Trip-Abroad-Azulejos-edited-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1142px) 100vw, 1142px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"picture-perfect-aveiro-in-a-weekend\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Picture perfect Aveiro in a weekend<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aveiro is, for many, the <strong>Venice of Portugal<\/strong>; however, we cannot say it is true after visiting the two.

With its picturesque canals, elaborate buildings, and brightly painted boats, the lovely city is ideal for a <strong>short weekend in Portugal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hop on a mouliceros, a ship similar to Venice&#8217;s gondolas, and feel the vibes of this town. Visiting Aveiro in summer, you should consider exploring the surrounding area and the coast. There are two main beaches near Aveiro: Costa Nova Beach and Barra Beach. Enjoy the shore washed by the Atlantic ocean and the infinite dunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-to-aveiro\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>How to get to Aveiro<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Several trains cover the 37 miles between Porto and Aveiro.

You should know that July is the <strong>hottest month in summer<\/strong>, especially for the southern regions and Algarve.

This period is ideal for visiting the major cities but is not suggested for southern places due to lack of accommodations. From December to February is the ski season in North-eastern Portugal. This part of the country has many opportunities for passion for winter sports.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1701373013143\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">u003cstrongu003eWhere is the best weather in Portugal?u003c\/strongu003e<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The Algarve is Portugal&#8217;s hottest region. With its olive-dashed hills and magnificent beaches, it encompasses the whole southern half of the nation. Tourists flock to towns like Tavira, Lagos, Albufeira, and Luz. In the height of summer, expect temperatures to exceed 35\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1701373025334\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">u003cstrongu003eWhat is the prettiest town in the Algarve?u003c\/strongu003e<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>u003cstrongu003eTavira.u003c\/strongu003e Tavira is often the most beautiful town in the Algarve, and if you only visit one place during your trip, go for Tavira. The traditional Portuguese village is unique and ideal for a few shots.
