Porto is one of the most vibrant, appealing cities in Portugal, and although it has more than its fair share of attractions, a trip to Portugal isn't complete without taking some time to explore the surrounding area as well. Visit one of the charming medieval towns in the north for a change of scenery, admire the architecture in Viana do Castelo or the town of Fátima, or head to one of the many nearby beaches for some fun in the sun. If you like wine, consider touring the Douro Valley or the stunning Vinho Verde Province.
