The pretty Portuguese city perfect for an affordable family holiday

With the end of term in sight, summer holiday fear may have set in if you haven't yet booked a getaway. Look beyond the Med's best-known resorts and it's still not too late to book, especially if you prefer to break away from the beach for history, culture and shopping. Often overlooked in favour of crowded Lisbon, Portugal's second city Porto makes the ideal summer week away, with its brightly coloured old town, peaceful parks, vibrant street art and child-friendly museums. Temperatures in the mid-20s and a cooling Atlantic breeze mean you'll also be able to enjoy boat cruises on the Douro River or spend lazy days on beaches just outside the city. For a little more space and much lower prices, swerve the historic centre for Vila Nova de Gaia, just south of Porto on the opposite bank of the Douro.

You'll stay in a roomy one-bedroom apartment with wooden floors, plenty of storage space and a kitchenette for whipping up picnics. A separate living area has a sofa bed for children. There are bikes for rent, a small spa and an indoor pool, but this does cost an extra £17pp per day. A stylish but informal restaurant serves brunch, classic Portuguese dishes like prego no prato (beef with fried egg) and child-approved favourites like burgers and pizza. You're already on the right side of the river for the Gaia Cable Car, which has the best view of higgledy-piggledy Ribeira (adults £6, under-12s £3; or see it from the water while cruising on a rabelos, a traditional wooden boat (£17; From the river, most sights are within walking distance including the Sao Bento train station with its decorative blue and white tiled interior, the 249ft bell tower of Clerigos Tower (£9 adults, under-10s free; and the magical Livraria Lello bookshop, said to have inspired the one-time Porto resident JK Rowling to write the Harry Potter books (£9 entry redeemable against book purchase; • Read our full guide to Porto Snoop round the cobbled back alleys looking for street art, then call by interactive museum World of Discoveries (adults £15, under-12s £10; or the 3D Fun Art Museum (adults £11, under-12s £8; If the sea is calling, the sandy Lavadores and Madalena beaches are about three miles from the hotel and are lined with seafood restaurants to watch the sun go down over the Atlantic with a glass of local port.

TUI, easyJet, Ryanair and Jet2 ban these food and drink items on flights

TUI, easyJet, Ryanair and Jet2 ban these food and drink items on flights When jetting off abroad, it can be useful to have something to eat and drink during the flight - but there are certain items you can't bring on board There are different rules regarding what you can carry onto a flight (Image: Ashley Cooper via Getty Images ) When travelling abroad, it pays to be prepared with a bite and a sip to enjoy whilst you're up in the air. Carriers including easyJet, TUI and Ryanair all have a range of snacks and drinks available for passengers to buy in-flight. However, buying refreshments mid-air can often come at a hefty price, which, especially when catering to a whole family, can significantly add up. The good thing is that more often than not, you're welcome to bring your own nibbles aboard the aircraft, although certain items are no-gos. ‌ Leading airlines, including easyJet, Ryanair, and Jet2, have varying rules regarding the type of food and drinks passengers are permitted to bring on board. While airline policies may differ, it's essential for passengers to be aware of these restrictions before their flight. ‌ Tui staff cannot heat meals for customers during the flight (Image: Ceri Breeze via Getty Images ) TUI For TUI travellers, if you find yourself on a journey exceeding seven hours, you'll receive a complimentary meal and some drinks. On shorter trips, however, a trolley offers a selection of beverages and munchies for purchase, though you're equally permitted to bring along personal food provisions, reports the Liverpool Echo. TUI recommends packing "low-risk food such as pre-made sandwiches and snacks that can be eaten cold" also noting that their staff can't warm up any meals – with an exception made for heating baby bottles.

Furthermore, it's stated that "Different countries have different regulations about importing food and drink, so make sure you check the rules for your destination."

Nevertheless, there are restrictions in place for hot and alcoholic beverages.

Instead, passengers are encouraged to take advantage of Jet2's extensive selection of in-flight meals and snacks, with the operator highlighting that "we do offer a great selection of food and drinks to purchase during your flight." Travellers are prohibited from bringing "items which in our reasonable opinion are unsuitable for carriage by reason of their weight, size or character or which are fragile or perishable or which may affect the safety, health or comfort of other passengers or crew, this may include hot or strong smelling foods and drinks."
