About Porto

Porto is Portugal’s second biggest city and one of the country’s most beautiful destinations, offering its visitors the very best in life!

Porto was classified a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996 and declared European Capital of Culture in 2001. At the same time, it was elected several times, by travelers from all over the world, the Best European Destination. With this in mind, we invite you to admire the old Porto town and its typical houses in the historic center. Don’t miss the bustle of the “tripeiros” (name given to its inhabitants) as well as the inspiring douro river, which gives you the chance to admire its many bridges and the city slopes.

A must-see for discerning travelers who seek fine wine and unique Travel Experiences!

Porto is known not only for keeping alive its traditions, habits and history… but also for its warm people. In fact, they will always welcome you and try to make you feel at home!

Porto icons not to be missed!

In particular, its narrow and twisting streets, its medieval houses in slopes and its tile panels, give us an astonishing landscape and a unique architecture.

An undeniable historical wealth with genuine baroque palaces and churches lies within the city. Also, we should not miss the large boulevards and modern masterpieces of the most significant contemporary architects, such as Siza Vieira and Souto de Moura.

Namely, the ancient cafes, situated in the heart of the city, such as Majestic, Brasileira, Piolho and Guarany,… played an important role in Porto history. We can see from everywhere, the Clerigos Tower and Church, a baroque piece of art from Nicolau Nasoni, which offers a unique view of the city.

You can appreciate the 20 thousand tiles, painted by Jorge Colaço at the lobby of the S. Bento train station. In fact, they are illustrations from Portuguese history and ethnography from the north of Portugal, as well as the evolution of Portuguese transports.

You can also wander in the wide green spaces as well as in the delightful beaches and romantic gardens. In case you like, make a visit to the museum of the local football club that is known internationally – the Futebol Clube do Porto!

Ribeira and the port wine cellars!

Nearby, Ribeira is one of the oldest parts of the city. At Praça da Ribeira or Cubo, you will be able to appreciate the Douro river and the rabelo boats. In due time, these vessels were used to transport the wine barrels from the Douro Valley, where it is produced, until the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. In the meantime, admire the 6 bridges in Porto which connect the river banks of the two cities and Eiffels’ work at Maria Pia bridge.

You can also visit the port wine cellars, and enjoy the rich cultural diversity and gastronomy of Afurada and Matosinhos.

Take a moment to contemplate the tile panels from Ribeira negra, the sculpture of the Duke and the table memory of the Ponte das Barcas tragedy!

Amazing events in Porto not to be missed!

Porto has many events throughout the year. Therefore, we’ll give you notice in case you wish to take part of them: from sports to literature, from music festivals to congresses, as well as shopping. The St. John festivities, the most popular event of the city which takes place in June, are not to be missed, as well as its sailing race.
Finally, you should not miss the “Serralves em Festa”, the “Verão na Casa da Música” and the summer and jazz festivals like Marés Vivas,…

“After all, Porto, to truly honor its name is, first of all, this wide bosom open to the river…where the traveler can lean over to the open air and have the illusion that the entire city of Porto is the Ribeira, the old riverside”
José Saramago
