Porto Local
If you’re searching for a romantic day trip, head to Amarante, just 70 kilometers northeast of Porto. The Serra do Marão mountains and the Tâmega River are the city’s natural backdrop. Amarante traces its roots back to Roman times, so walking around, you’ll see traces of Roman, medieval, and Renaissance art and architecture. This city is also quite famous for its sweets and pastries, so be sure to grab a São Gonçalo cake.
