About Porto

Porto stort zich over steile heuvels naar de Douro, een granieten stad van betegelde kerken, wijnkelders aan de rivier en port die aan de overkant rijpt.

De wijk Ribeira omzoomt de oever met kleurrijke huizen, cafés en boten, onderdeel van een door UNESCO erkend oud centrum onder de ijzeren bogen van de Dom Luís I-brug. Daarboven is de hal van het station São Bento bedekt met blauw-witte azulejo-tegels, rijst de Torre dos Clérigos boven de daken uit en staat de kathedraal Sé op haar heuvel.

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).
