Tour Porto by motorhome in 4 days

As a campervan owner, a trip to Porto and its surroundings should always be on your travel itinerary. This way of traveling not only saves you a lot on transportation and accommodation , but also gives you the opportunity to experience this magnificent region in a unique way.

1. First day: the historic center of Porto

There's nothing like a first glimpse of a place by exploring its old town. As you drive by in your campervan, you can admire the impressive facades of the city's buildings from afar, so don't waste any time and, once you've set foot in the city, take a look at the Town Hall or the Stock Exchange Palace.

Explore the Bolhao market , climb the Clérigos Tower and admire the original tiled facades of the city's churches, such as the Chapel of Souls or the Church of San Ildefonso.

If you're a Harry Potter fan , you can't miss the Lello Bookstore , whose aisles and shelves are reminiscent of the famous Hogwarts Castle. Also, be sure to visit the University of Porto , where you can see students in uniforms very much in the style of the magical school, complete with a black cloak and tie!

2. Second day: Get to know the Ribeira

After a restful sleep in the comfort of your campervan, get ready to explore one of Porto's most famous and iconic neighborhoods , the Ribeira. What makes this area special are its charming colorful houses , but nearby you'll also find some of the best Port wine cellars, which you can visit to learn how this renowned wine is made. Book a tour of the Cálem or Cockburn's cellars, where you can even enjoy a tasting.

Nearby is the Gaia Cable Car , which you can take up to Jardim do Morro , a welcoming green space where you can relax while enjoying views of the city. To return to the Ribeira area, simply cross the Dom Luís I Bridge , a walk that will allow you to admire the Casa do Infante , where Henry the Navigator was born.

3. Third day: Discover the Venice of Portugal

Start your campervan and begin the third day of your visit in Aveiro, one of the most beautiful coastal cities in the country. Popularly known as the Portuguese Venice , due to the canals that crisscross the city streets, you'll be rocked gently by the water on a leisurely ride in the traditional moliceiro boats , very similar to Italian gondolas, for an unforgettable experience.

Take advantage of your visit and explore the streets of Aveiro, where you'll be captivated by the imposing Baroque portal of Aveiro Cathedral . Learn about the history, art, and culture of the area at the Aveiro Museum , located in what was formerly the 15th-century Convent of Jesus of the Dominican Order. Don't leave without trying the local cuisine at one of the restaurants in the famous Republic Square.

4. Fourth day: Fall in love with the beaches

The last day of Easter week has arrived, but before heading home in your campervan, you must appreciate the beaches of Porto . Its rocky and golden sandy beaches and cool waters are a delight for all the senses, especially when the weather is warm enough for a swim.

To avoid venturing too far from the city, you can visit the beaches of Foz do Douro . Enjoy the incredible opportunity to stroll along these beaches, all of which have been awarded the Blue Flag, a designation recognized for their environmental importance as a protected area. Don't miss Praia Castelo do Queijo, Praia do Molhe, or Praia dos Ingleses, for example.

In Foz there is also much to see, such as the Castelo do Queijo fort , located on the shores of the beach that shares its name, or Castelo de São João Baptista , from where you can appreciate breathtaking views.

We hope that with this guide, even if it's only for 4 days, you can make the most of your Easter holidays when you travel with your beloved motorhome to the beautiful city of Porto.
