Porto is northern Portugal's stag gem: riverside Douro pub crawls, beer bikes with the crew and port-wine cellars, at gentle prices and 2h15 from Paris. Authentic and affordable.
Why have your stag do in Porto?
Porto offers Portuguese vibes without Lisbon's prices: a beer bike with the crew by day, the port-wine cellars in Gaia, rooftops over the Douro at sunset, then a pub crawl in the Ribeira at night. A human-scale, warm, photogenic city.
How much does a stag do in Porto cost?
Budget €190-230 per person for 2 nights, flights excluded. A pub crawl runs around €20, a beer bike €20-25 per person, a cellar tasting €15-20. One of the best value spots in Western Europe.
When to go and practical info
April to October for sun and Douro terraces; the party works all year. Currency: the euro. The centre is hilly, bring good shoes. São João (23-24 June) is a legendary street festival not to miss.
