Could there be anything better than a lazy afternoon spent meandering the streets, stopping in the occasional bar for a glass of sweet Port?
“I’m almost embarrassed to say I’ve never visited Portugal, despite the fact I can feel in my bones how much I will love it as a country with its vibrant atmosphere and thriving food scene.

This may be a surprising first pick, having never even made it to the ever-popular Lisbon, however, there’s something about the smaller, slightly grittier nature of Porto that is calling my name. Porto may be Portugal’s second city, but (from what I’ve heard) it finishes first when it comes to authentic, old-world charm. There’s also the wine.
