Spending six or seven days in Portugal late September/early October. Flying back to the US from Lisbon, so will spend time there on the backend of the trip. Flying in from Milan. I assume we should fly into Porto and eventually end up in Lisbon. Do we have time to spend time in the Douro Valley? Can Porto be a home base for exploring the Douro Valley or should we stay in the valley? We are originally from the Napa Valley, so it will not be our first wine region trip, but excited to tour the area.
Any must do’s, and how much time to dedicate to each area, Lisbon, Porto, Douro Valley?
Is the train the best way to get from Porto to Lisbon?
Thank you in advance of any recommendations.
