Norte is Portugal's northernmost and most populous region, an extraordinary tapestry of Atlantic coastline, medieval cities, terraced wine valleys, and wild highland national parks. Porto, the region's vibrant capital, gave port wine and the country its very name. The Douro Valley, the world's oldest demarcated wine region, cuts through the landscape in dramatic terraced splendour, while Braga presides as Portugal's religious capital and Guimarães as its historic cradle. Peneda-Gerês, Portugal's only national park, offers rugged granite peaks, pristine rivers, and ancient Roman roads.

Foodie tips
Get more out of every meal.
The best francesinha in Porto is a long-running debate — Café Santiago (Rua de Passos Manuel 226) and Brasão Aliados (Av. Aliados 141) are the top two; arrive before noon at Santiago to beat the queue
Free wine tastings are available at most Gaia port lodges if you purchase on entry — Ramos Pinto (Av. Ramos Pinto 400) has the most beautiful tasting room and is less crowded than Sandeman
The menu do dia at Porto tascas (€8–€12, ~$9.28–$13.92) is the best food value in the city — full 3-course lunch with a drink
Mercado do Bolhão is open Monday to Saturday — never on Sunday; the fishmonger stalls (fish only when fresh) are best on weekday mornings
Ask for a 'prova gratuita' (free tasting) at olive oil and wine shops — many offer a small pour with no obligation
The Douro Valley's unfortified red wines (Douro DOC) — from the same grapes as port but without fortification — are extraordinary and widely underpriced outside Portugal
