#FUNFACT PORTO
Gustave Eiffel (yes, the brain behind the Eiffel Tower) was part of the production process of Porto’s two iconic bridges. - The Discoverer | @gelofc23
PORTO | N 41.15° / W 8.62°
It’s nearly impossible to decide what to love most about Porto. Maybe the grandeur of the tile-covered buildings that line each street. Or the laid-back and charismatic vibe of the locals. Maybe it’s the charming backstreets leading to better and better views or the bustling waterfront punctuated by salty breezes. Whatever it is, you’ll be hard-pressed to name something you don’t like about this sunny and cool city. - The Discoverer
GO PORTO
Porto enjoys moderate temperatures year-round, which makes it an attractive option for a European itinerary. Summer is a popular time to visit, with breezy temperatures and sunshine, but also spiking prices and crowds. Though fall sees a little more rain, prices drop and crowds thin out. Fall also features beautiful colors just in time for harvest season in the Douro Valley. Just remember to bring a rain jacket for the occasional drizzle. - The Discoverer | @cjairzinho
TIPS PORTO
"Avoid being a typical tourist. Search for local art galleries, local shops, local and small restaurants. Don't be afraid to talk with random people on the street, they'll most likely wanna help since people from Porto are very proud of their city." – The Discoverer | @alexogato | @dianamiaus
THE PORTO DISCOVERER: MARACUJÁ
"Douro is the golden path that connect lives in Oporto and its margins reveal the simplicity of its people. In this path, you will find narrow alleys, seagulls laughing at you, spicy francesinhas and a lot of bridges, but above all that you will find strong people who are proud of their history. People use to say that Oporto is not a city, it's a feeling." - The Discoverer | @maracujaroxo
#FUNFACT ARUBA
Aruba might be tiny, but it’s incredibly diverse. Over 90 nationalities are represented among its residents, from South American to European and beyond. - The Discoverer
ARUBA | N 12.52° / W 70.00°
It’s hard to beat a place whose motto is “One Happy Island.” Aruba more than lives up to that tagline, blending desert landscape and soothing beaches in a seamless marriage. The island speaks for itself — white sand, turquoise water, and charming towns. There’s a lot to love. And while it’s a popular destination, it still has some discoveries awaiting new visitors. - The Discoverer | Aruba Tourism Authority
GO ARUBA
With an average 82° F temperature year-round, Aruba is one of the few places in the world that has truly perfect weather. Sitting outside the Caribbean’s Hurricane Belt, the island might see a little rain but is almost never in danger of huge storms. There’s really no wrong time to visit weather-wise, so let prices guide you. For better prices and smaller crowds, book any time from April through Aug. - The Discoverer | @crbiondi08bo
TIPS ARUBA
"The tip worth a million is- rent a car! As the island is relatively small, but with several points to visit, the car offers a lot of convenience and helps to have a very flexible schedule." – The Discoverer | @jadson_rios | @bombrush1
THE ARUBA DISCOVERER: KIRSTEN
"Although I love exploring big cities, I also enjoy a relaxing vacation every now and then. And trust me when I say that Aruba is definitely an island where you can totally relax! I would highly recommend a day pass to Flamingo beach or a short stay in the Renaissance hotel, so you can visit this private beach for free. Walking between the flamingos on this beach is such an amazing experience."
