About Porto

Porto rasar ner för branta kullar till Douro, en granitstad av kaklade kyrkor, vinkällare vid floden och portvin som mognar på andra sidan vattnet.

Stadsdelen Ribeira kantar flodstranden med färgglada hus, caféer och båtar, en del av ett Unesco-skyddat gammalt centrum under järnbågarna på Dom Luís I-bron. Ovanför är stationshallen São Bento täckt av blåvita azulejos, tornet Clérigos reser sig över taken och Sé-katedralen står på sin kulle.

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).
