When in Porto, Drink Port Wine and Remember...
- United States and Canadian citizens do not require a visa to enter Portugal for tourism or business stays under ninety (90) days.
- As with any Sojourn trip, every single element of this trip was developed by the Sojourn crew and is not outsourced. The Sojourn commitment of impeccable service, world-renowned luxury hotels, carefully designed routes, custom fitted bikes, professional leader support and unwavering attention to details, stays firm.
- We meet you at 1 PM at Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, Porto, Portugal (OPO). We will drop you off around 3 PM at Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, Porto, Portugal (OPO). All outbound flights out of OPO should be booked after 6PM.
- A lot of the gourmet restaurants where we dine offer specially prepared limited or fixed menus featuring regional cuisine. So selecting off the main menu might not be an option.
- Most of the locals do speak English. Besides, you will always be supported by two Sojourn leaders who are fluent in Portuguese in addition to English.
