Hotels in Douro Litoral, Portugal
Douro Litoral hugs Portugal's northern coast and climbs the Douro River valley, famous worldwide for its terraced vineyards and Port wine production. The climate splits into mild winters (around 50°F / 10°C) perfect for touring Porto's historic port cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, and warm summers (average 75°F / 24°C) ideal for a river cruise from Ribeira to the vineyards of Pinhão. This region divides into the buzzing city of Porto, where you can explore the 18th-century Torre dos Clérigos, and the quiet Douro Valley, where September's grape harvest at Quinta do Seixo lets you stomp grapes and taste the new vintage.
