Grande Hotel do Porto 
The Grande Hotel do Porto is located downtown, right at the city centre, where it enables its guests to immediately taste Porto’s culture.
Monuments, churches, museums and theatres are all at walking distance. Charming and evocative of a long gone age, this is a carefully renovated relic of a hotel that is set on an all-pedestrian street with the densest collection of shops in central Porto.
The hotel has been radically renovated in 2002, and now it shows an appealing combination of the 1950s with Belle Époque accessories. It was originally built in 1880 in a five store "Grand Hotel" format, which is still visible in its late Victorian facade and the elaborate exterior details.

Oporto G.C.
Oporto G.C. is an authentic links established in 1890, and is one of the
oldest golf courses in Continental Europe. This makes it a club proud of its
hallowed traditions.
Estela
Built on a three kilometre long stretch of sand dunes on the beautiful Costa
Verde, this is one of the Portuguese golf links that secured a high
reputation for itself when it was selected to host two events in the
European Professionals' Circuit.
Porto lies just to the north of a coastal Mediterranean climate zone that
encompasses most of central and southern Portugal. As a result, its climate
shares many characteristics with the coastal south: temperate dry summers, and
mild rainy winters. Unlike the south, however, cool and rainy interludes can
interrupt the summer dry season and the season's average length is considerably
shorter. Also, the city's more northern position and coastal location off the
Atlantic often results in notably cooler weather in Porto than to its south,
especially during summer.
There's the possibility of some light rain even in the summer months of June and
July with average rainfall in July in the region of 20mm.
