Porto, Portugal

It is the second town in size, of Portugal, but is often ignored in favor of Lisbon. Make a compromise and buy a ticket to Porto and plan to visit the Mercado do Bolhao, a fascinating indoor market, where you can buy anything you want.

Then walk along river Douro, visit Sao Francisco cathedral, museums and art galleries. Finally bet not least, you cannot fulfill your visit without wine-tasting the well-known Porto wine, which is produced in Ferreira wine cellars.

Piran, Slovenia

Located in southwestern Slovenia, Piran is a city that will leave you speechless. The narrow streets and Gothic alleys will spur you to a long walk.

It is a city rich in historical and architectural monuments, which will prompt you to come back every time you get a chance, although it is a small town that you can visit in a few days.

Piran is a little town (about 4000 inhabitants) with a medieval flair. It is situated on a peninsula of the Adriatic sea in the Slovenian part of Istria. It has a long history dating back to the pre-Roman era. Until the first world war it belonged to the Austro-Hungarian empire.
