- Hotel night: the middle nightly price of the Porto hotels we check three times a week (see our hotel price index).
- Daily spend: food, local transport and sights per person, from our city guide, by travel style. The hotel isn't in it.
- Total: fare × travellers + hotel night × nights × rooms + daily spend × travellers × days. Prices move, so treat it as a guide, not a quote.
