Porto and Northern Portugal by Train
Based in Porto, take trains to Aveiro, Braga and Guimarães, and spend a night in the Pinhão wine village in the Douro Valley.
A car-free way to explore northern Portugal: the first three days in Porto's old town and Gaia, then day trips by train to the Aveiro canals and the striped houses of Costa Nova, followed by Braga and Guimarães. On day six, take the Douro Line to stay in the wine village of Pinhão; the next day, see the viewpoint and return to Porto to depart. Five of the six nights are spent in the city. Compared with the existing self-drive loop, this relies more on rail, so it suits first-time visitors who don't drive.
Douro cruises run fewer trips in winter; from November to March, you can just take the train to see the valley.
