Porto is one of the oldest tourist destinations, with a comprehensive, attractive and eclectic tourist offer.
The topographical fabric attracts visitors with its diversity of styles: narrow medieval-style streets and alleys, modern squares and avenues and new contemporary buildings are important attractions for those who love urban exploration.
The intense cultural offering of facilities and services (theatres, libraries, museums, heritage and other activities) contrasts with the serenity that a walk along the riverfront or the Atlantic coast can provide!

Discover the Region - Porto
Overlooking the Douro River, Porto is one of the oldest cities in Europe. It was founded and developed during the Middle Ages, based on the northern aspect of the Douro River. One of the most significant aspects of Porto and its historic centre is its landscape, the result of the harmony of its lines and its urban structure, which form a complex of rare beauty.
The city was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. Discovering Porto is a chance to find many surprises. Alongside its hospitable and conservative character, there is also a contemporary and creative city. The marks of this “savoir-faire” can be felt in the streets, in the architecture and monuments, in the museums, in the leisure areas, on the terraces and in the shopping areas.
The attractions are many and varied. Monuments, Museums and Churches, Bridges, Wine Cellars, Markets and Fairs, Natural Parks, Festivals and Pilgrimages are just some of the reasons to choose this destination.
You can visit the areas classified as World Heritage Sites and discover the Historic Centre of Porto by taking the four walking routes: Sé, Ribeira / S. Nicolau, Vitória and Miragaia.
Port wine is a fortified wine produced exclusively in the Douro Demarcated Region, aged and exported in the city of Porto, from which it takes its name. Port wine cellars are the ideal place to get to know this national drink and its entire history. Open to the public, they offer the opportunity to taste this precious nectar, learn about its history through time, the region where it is produced and how it is obtained.
Porto's cultural life is far from being limited to its historical and monumental heritage. Terraces, concert halls, cinemas, Internet access, music, boat trips and nightlife are just some of the leisure activities on offer.
