As a Northerner, my immediate thought when contemplating visiting London is how expensive the city is. With the average cost of a pint twice as much as other cities in the country, London can be a pricey affair, with boutique cafes, prestige restaurants and extortionate taxi fares. That being said, the capital also offers alot of free attractions, being home to a variety of national galleries and museums. Whilst you won't get any change from a tenner for a gin and tonic, read our guide to enjoying the city without needing to spend a penny!

It is undeniable that Porto and its many bridges is a beautiful city and what better way to enjoy its picturesque old town and cobbled roads than enjoying a port sangria in one of the hundreds of cosy bars and hidden wine cellars? Whilst I was stunned by Porto’s beauty I was also pleasantly surprised by the really great quality for money this city is so we passed most of our time basking in the sun in wine terraces and restaurant’s patios so read our recommendations of bars and restaurants in this picturesque city.
A picturesque harbour of sun-bathed houses painted in bright yellows, warm oranges and pastel pinks, Porto is the perfect city break for those looking to sit back and relax with a classic glass of Port (or three!). Boasting seven magnificent bridges and many more antique port wine cellars, this quaint city is easy one of the most beautiful destinations I've visited. And of course if you're more interested in the architecture, the history, or the culture rather than sitting amongst the cobbled streets and watching the world go by, Porto is rich with tourist attractions.
