Highlights
Get your feet ready for one of the oldest and noblest cities in Portugal: the “cidade invicta”, the undefeated city” of Porto. Today Porto is the second largest and most important Portuguese city, classified by UNESCO’s as World Heritage in 1996. No other city embraces the river like Porto, with the Ribeira’s patchwork of tiled buildings and the view to the Port wine cellars. We will walk its narrow streets and cozy city center, enjoy breathtaking views from its several viewpoints, learn it’s rich history, tradition and get acquainted with the local lifestyle. We will also get to know the influence of this city in pop culture and the Harry Potter phenomenon.

About Porto
Porto tumbles down steep hills to the Douro River, a granite city of tiled churches, riverside cellars and port wine aged across the water.
The Ribeira district lines the riverbank with colourful houses, cafés and boats, part of a UNESCO-listed old centre beneath the iron arches of the Dom Luís I Bridge. Above it, the São Bento station hall is covered in blue-and-white azulejo tiles, the Clérigos Tower rises above the rooftops, and the Sé cathedral stands on its hill.
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).
