"For years, Portugal has had a reputation as one of the most interesting and affordable spots in Europe to visit from the U.S. The combination of culture, art, history, and cuisine entices and entrances travelers, and the blend of laid-back lifestyle and surprisingly low cost of living has meant that everyone from vacationing families to digital nomad expats have been singing the praises of this charming European country."
"It's not hard to see why Lisbon is so popular, with its iconic trams, custard tarts, and picture-perfect historic architecture, vibing to the mournful soundtrack of fado music. But while Lisbon is a great destination, particularly for foodies, it's not the only fabulous city in Portugal. To the north, Porto is a chic, hidden gem city, the center of the Portuguese wine scene, and a wonderfully cultural location that demands to be explored in-depth."
Portugal combines culture, art, history, and cuisine with a low cost of living that attracts vacationers and digital nomads. Most U.S. visitors arrive in Lisbon, known for iconic trams, custard tarts, historic architecture, and fado music. Porto, located north of Lisbon, offers a contrasting experience with hilly landscapes, river valleys, and a lively, working atmosphere. Porto serves as the center of the Portuguese wine scene and features vibrant areas like the riverside Ribeiro district and viewpoints such as Passeio das Virtudes. Limited direct U.S. flights to Porto will expand when Delta begins JFK–Porto service in May 2026.
