About Porto

Porto scende da ripide colline fino al Douro: città di granito con chiese di azulejos, cantine sul fiume e vino Porto che invecchia di fronte.

Il quartiere della Ribeira costeggia la riva con case colorate, caffè e barche, parte di un centro storico tutelato dall'UNESCO sotto gli archi di ferro del ponte Dom Luís I. Sopra, l'atrio della stazione di São Bento è rivestito di azulejos blu e bianchi, la Torre dei Clérigos si innalza sopra i tetti e la cattedrale, la Sé, sorge sulla sua collina.

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).
