Portugal is crammed with history, culture and cuisine, and these three characteristics have seen it visited by over 10 million tourists a year (and counting). Add stunning scenery to that list and you’ve got an endless supply of activities to keep you occupied.
The country is renowned for its enchanting cities, with the capital of Lisbon perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Its distinctive culture is emphasised by traditional fado music reverberating through the charming cobblestone streets and pastelarias serving up delicious pastéis de nata (custard tarts). For a unique way to explore the beautiful old town, hop aboard tram 28 – one of a few old fashioned tram lines still operating in Lisbon today. Porto, the second-largest city, offers up a charming medieval centre, coastal walks and bistros serving up ‘Francesinha’– a typical meat and cheese-filled sandwich distinctive to the city. Many popular beaches can be found closeby, such as the scenic shores of Gaia or Espinho. Hotels, B&Bs and apartments are dotted all over the country. You’ll also find a variety of guest houses and unique accommodation houses in charming manor houses or restored stone cottages and farmhouses.

Guest review
This is a wonderful boutique hotel, and this was already my second visit. My mother and I stayed in a duplex room which was spotless and incredibly comfortable. The team went above and beyond to fulfill all our special requests with great care. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were consistently kind and helpful. The room was well-heated and cozy, and the location is perfect for walking, right next to the river. We will definitely come back!

Situated conveniently in Porto, Artcore Hotel Porto offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, private parking and room service.
Guest review
Our stay at the Artcore Hotel in Porto was truly one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the beautiful, modern décor—stylish yet warm, with thoughtful artistic touches throughout the hotel.
Our room was exceptionally comfortable and spotlessly clean, making it easy to relax after long days exploring the city. The well-stocked minibar was a pleasant surprise, especially the abundance of bottled water, which we really appreciated. And the complimentary sweets at reception were such a charming and welcoming detail!
Breakfast was absolutely fabulous—plentiful, fresh, and beautifully presented, with options to suit every taste.
Overall, Artcore Hotel exceeded all expectations. The attention to detail, comfort, and hospitality made our stay unforgettable. We would return in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Porto.
