Hotels in North Zone, India

The North Zone of Portugal spans from the Atlantic coast to the Douro River valley, with a Mediterranean climate that brings hot summers (averaging 77°F/25°C) and mild winters (around 50°F/10°C). This region is famous for producing port wine in the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley, and you can tour the historic cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia year-round - but summer is best for a river cruise, while winter is perfect for exploring Porto's 14th-century Ribeira district without the crowds. If you visit during spring, hike through Peneda-Gerês National Park for waterfalls and wildflowers; in fall, join the grape harvest festivals where you can stomp grapes yourself.
