15 European Cities to Splurge vs Save Big on Your Next Trip

13. Porto: Wine, Waves, and Wallet-Friendly Wonders

Porto is where Portugal’s soul meets the sea. For indulgence, book a suite at The Yeatman—home to a Michelin-starred restaurant and the best wine spa in Europe. Sip aged port in riverside cellars with expert sommeliers. On a budget? Grab a bifana sandwich and ride the vintage tram through town. The azulejo-tiled São Bento Station is a free visual feast, and sunsets from Jardim do Morro cost nothing. Whether you’re swirling aged wine or munching street snacks with a view, Porto pours charm into every kind of trip.
