-Those staying more centrally in Portugal will most likely be spending some time in Porto! This site has some pretty good recommendations for what to do. If you're a Harry Potter fan, be sure to visit Livraria Lello. Also be sure to cross the Douro River to Vila Nova de Gaia for gorgeous views of Porto. You can travel to Vila Nova de Gaia by foot, and you'll find tons of Port Wine tasting options here. Finally, if you have time, we highly recommend a trip into the Douro Valley for wine tasting. There are tons of sites (including Airbnb Experiences) with tours you can sign up for that will handle all the logistics for you!

If you're venturing outside of Porto, below are some beautiful places to visit.

- Aveiro (approx. an hour from Porto; can be a day trip): This small city is near Emily's family and is one of the couples favorites with beautiful canals and fun little shops. This guide gives a nice overview of how to spend a day in Aveiro.

-Coimbra (approx. an hour and 15 mins from Porto; can be a day trip): This small city is closer to Emily's mother's side of the family and is home to a beautiful and historic university. Another great place to explore in a day - see some ideas here.

-Nazare (approx. 2 hours from Porto, 1.5 from Lisbon, can be a day trip): Nazare is a small fishing town best known for its huge surfing waves (see Guinness World Record Holder here). The largest waves can be seen from October through March, but it's still a beautiful spot to visit. More ideas for Nazare can be found in this guide.
