2. We will discover, as a first stop, one of the oldest towns in Portugal, (royal charter of 1125), in a true journey through time. We will walk through the typical alleys, the traditional shops, the medieval bridge and the panorama of the Lima river, so beautiful and mystical that it instigated the legend of the "Rio Lethes" in the Roman soldiers who passed through here.

3. After being introduced to the Historical Centre of Ponte de Lima, you will taste the famous "Vinho Verde", as old and authentic as this region. On a guided visit to the "Vinho Verde" Interpretation and Promotion Centre, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the history and tradition of this exclusively Portuguese wine and finish with a great tasting of this refreshing wine.

4. After a meal equal to the people of this land - generous in quantity and tradition - it's time to digest it in the best possible way, while visiting the Sanctuary of Santa Luzia. Built in the begginning of the 20th century, on top of Santa Luzia hill, this Sanctuary is based on a Romanesque-Byzantine basilica, whose imposing rose windows are the largest in the Iberian Peninsula and the second largest in Europe. There, we will contemplate what was considered by National Geographic Magazine as the 3rd most beautiful panorama in the world.

5. This is the scenario we saw from the top of the Santa Luzia viewpoint - the Historical Centre of this city, whose privileged location relating to land routes ("Caminhos de Santiago"), river and sea routes, made the walled-fortress construction crucial, in the 14th century. It is impossible not to give in to the charms of the alleys of the Historical Centre, one of the most beautiful and well preserved in the country, either due to the beautiful armored façades or the precious tile panels, constituting an authentic compendium of the history and tradition of Portugal.

6. Once our strength is reinvigorated with traditional sweets, we will visit the National Costume's Museum, which gathers a collection of historical clothing and costume accessories from the 18th century to the present, in permanent exhibition but also with access to temporary exhibitions. It is charming to discover the roots of the tradition of Viana do Castelo, in the context of the Alto-Minho region, as you visit this museum.

About Porto

Porto styrter ned ad stejle bakker til Douro, en granitby af kakkelklædte kirker, vinkældre ved floden og portvin, der modner på den anden side.

Ribeira-kvarteret kanter flodbredden med farverige huse, caféer og både, en del af en UNESCO-beskyttet gammel bymidte under jernbuerne på Dom Luís I-broen. Over det er stationshallen São Bento dækket af blå-hvide azulejos, Clérigos-tårnet rejser sig over tagene, og Sé-katedralen står på sin bakke.

Top-ranked sights in Porto: Clérigos Church and Tower (Torre & Igreja dos Clérigos), Dom Luis Bridge (Ponte de Dom Luis I), Porto Cathedral (Sé Catedral do Porto).
