This is a brand-new low on a fantastic European route.
Flights from Detroit to Porto, Portugal are currently priced starting at just $446 roundtrip for travel in March, April, and one date in November. That’s an exceptional deal for a destination that’s quietly become one of Europe’s most loved cities.
This route typically prices $650+, and the previous low was $481, which I last saw back in July 2024. Seeing fares dip into the mid-$400s is a rare buying opportunity.
Why travelers love Porto (and northern Portugal)
🍷 Port Wine & the Douro Valley
Porto is the birthplace of port wine, and the nearby Douro Valley is one of the most beautiful wine regions in Europe. Think terraced vineyards, river cruises, and family-run wineries with views that feel almost unreal.
🏛️ Historic Charm Without the Crowds
Porto delivers everything travelers love about Portugal — colorful buildings, tile-covered churches, riverfront promenades, and walkable neighborhoods — but with fewer crowds than Lisbon and a slightly more relaxed pace.
