Jazzing Up Porto

Porto is associated with Port wine and Jose Mourinho, but from late September through to early November the city will reverberate to the sounds of drums and saxophones as the Porto Jazz festival swings into town.

The festival includes a wide variety to interest everyone from jazz connoisseurs to beginners, with the on-stage programme featuring top stars such as Pharaoh Sanders and Dizzy Gillespie, plus many new acts.

Off stage there are workshops and master classes for fans looking to jazz up their own acts.

As well as the festival, Porto offers plenty of accommodation, including cheap hotels, along with the opportunity to enjoy a bit of warm autumn sun on the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula.

Porto offers more too; the historic centre of the city is a Unesco world heritage site, the wine is legendary and the sporting culture of the city is well known - FC Porto being one of the big three football teams in Portugal, the one provincial side able to get the better of Lisbon-based rivals Benfica and Sporting.

In short, Porto offers an outstanding alternative destination for Portugal-bound travellers.
