Portugal is crammed with history, culture and cuisine, and these three characteristics have seen it visited by over 10 million tourists a year (and counting). Add stunning scenery to that list and you’ve got an endless supply of activities to keep you occupied.
The country is renowned for its enchanting cities, with the capital of Lisbon perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Its distinctive culture is emphasised by traditional fado music reverberating through the charming cobblestone streets and pastelarias serving up delicious pastéis de nata (custard tarts). For a unique way to explore the beautiful old town, hop aboard tram 28 – one of a few old fashioned tram lines still operating in Lisbon today. Porto, the second-largest city, offers up a charming medieval centre, coastal walks and bistros serving up ‘Francesinha’– a typical meat and cheese-filled sandwich distinctive to the city. Many popular beaches can be found closeby, such as the scenic shores of Gaia or Espinho. Hotels, B&Bs and apartments are dotted all over the country. You’ll also find a variety of guest houses and unique accommodation houses in charming manor houses or restored stone cottages and farmhouses.

Guest review
The hotel is brand new as I found out yesterday. The size of the room is very nice. Very beautiful and artistic design. Very kind stuff that meet your needs over and beyond the expectations. I was one night last week and turned around my plans to come back again and stay 2 more nights before flying back home. As a previous 5 star hotelier I can tell a lot about the quality.

Guest review
Everything was amazing. Sr. Joaquim is super, super nice and attentive. I made a mistake with the number of guests in the reservation and they fully accommodated our request upon arrival. The apartment was a great spot to hang out with family in between sightseeing and the rooms were beautifully decorated. The breakfast was incredible, lots of fresh fruit, yogurt, bread and a variety of charcuterie. We are already planning out next visit, hopefully in the summer, to enjoy the pool and walk around the area a little bit more.

Situated conveniently in Porto, Artcore Hotel Porto offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, private parking and room service.
Guest review
We were impressed with the room, décor, staff, and overall service. It was a birthday gift for my partner, and the team went above and beyond by surprising her with a cake and sparkling wine. The reception staff were extremely helpful and handled our outside restaurant bookings, following up with us to confirm everything.
After we checked out, the hotel realised we had forgotten a few items. They contacted us immediately, even before we noticed ourselves.
Coming from a catering background both of us, I can say a very big well done to the entire team. Keep it up — we will definitely be returning

A truly magnificent hotel! Stunning views, a cozy and elegant atmosphere, beautiful rooms, and an incredibly friendly and attentive staff.
We were pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful gifts and compliments from the hotel.
The cuisine is absolutely fantastic! Special thanks and great respect to the chef — every dish we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted exceptional.
We celebrated our wedding anniversary at the hotel, and I couldn’t be happier. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. We enjoyed excellent wine (with special thanks to the sommelier) and had a wonderful, relaxing time at the spa.
I will definitely return and will happily recommend this hotel to all my friends and acquaintances.
If you are looking for peace, relaxation, and true quality — this is the place to be.
