My husband and I are traveling from Lisbon to Porto in May on Rick Steves tour. We will have 3 extra days after the tour ends before we fly to the Azores for a walking tour. We are planning on flying to the Azores from Lisbon. Any suggestions on how to spend a couple extra days before we head to Azores where we complete our trip? We will be visiting a few small towns between Lisbon and Porto.

We were in Porto for extra days after a Rick Steves Portugal tour in 2022. We had a great time exploring there, the tour is only there for a day or so. We visited a port lodge (we went to Taylor's, but there are lots to choose from), walked to the fishing village of Afurada, did a tuk-tuk tour, walked around the Gaia (across the river), took a bus to Matosinhos...in other words, lots to do that isn't covered on the tour, if you want to spend some of your extra time there before going back to Lisbon...
