Porto
Visit Portugal's second largest city
Porto, located along the Douro River estuary in northern Portugal, is a World Heritage city. Known for its port wine which is shipped all over the world, there’s so much more to this interesting city.
You’ll find stately bridges (six of them!), monuments and historical buildings aplenty. Seek out the medieval riverside quarter and enjoy quaint cobbled streets, cafe terraces and restaurants serving freshly caught seafood.
