Partaking in Port in Porto

While in London for the week with work, I had the weekend to fill and was keen to try and get somewhere new.  After some research online I settled on Porto as I could get there on a direct flight from Galway, and I’d heard good things about the city as a weekend destination.

Adding in the travel time and finding my hotel in town, I was left with less than two full days to enjoy the many delights around the city.  And enjoy them I did!  Apart from wandering around the steep cobbled streets around the old city down to the river, the highlight was definitely the port I drank.  I managed to squeeze in five cellar tours on the far side of the river, and visited another three to do some tasting.
