3 days, 2 nights, 2 travellers, mid-range, flying from New York. Usual prices we track ourselves, not a price you can book.

How we know
  • Fare: the middle price of the economy round trips we found from New York on our latest check (half were cheaper, half dearer), for departures in the coming weeks.
  • 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.
