Even though Porto itself is full of interesting attractions, with a hire car from Enterprise you won't have to neglect the wider area. Take a 45-minute drive south and visit the beautiful fishing port of Aveiro, which is sometimes dubbed the "Venice of Portugal", owed to its myriad of canals and attractive boats. The port also boasts a distinctive cuisine that's very well worth trying. Another option is to take a cruise along the Douro River that goes through a landscape of winding roads and vine-covered hills, which can make it feel like you're a million miles from the bustling city of Porto.

Porto has a useful ring road, known as the A20 or Via de Cintura Interna, with excellent connections to other main arteries, making it the best road to take when travelling from one part of the city to another. Make sure you keep to the correct lanes, as some are reserved for local vehicles with automatic toll-paying devices. Older roads in the city centre are fairly narrow, so driving outside of typical rush hour times can be a big help. There are a number of secure, convenient, and well-lit car parks dotted around Porto, which are often a better choice than trying to find limited on-street parking spaces.
