Book flights to Porto
Porto, Portugal’s second largest city, packs just as much of a punch as the capital. Its old town, Ribeira, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while just a stone’s throw from its historic walls you'll find Livraria Lello – the bookshop that inspired the library in Harry Potter. Enjoy the city's moreish food scene on patios bathed in sunlight, and stretch out on the golden sands that run along the beach-filled coast.
Experience Porto’s highlights for yourself on a direct flight from the UK with British Airways. Make sure you’ve got your camera to hand, as picture-worthy sights are around every corner, including the city’s towering cathedral. Don’t miss its tiled cloisters and the mix of architectural styles, including Gothic and Romanesque. Back in the avenues, keep your eyes peeled for the contemporary buildings that stand out against the historic Baroque backdrop. We’ve only just scratched the surface of what Porto has to offer, so book your holiday now.
