There are a thousand charms and corners that are worth discovering in Porto, capital of the North. Porto is one of the oldest cities of the country, and as such, its streets are sinuous and picturesque. It is a unique experience to stroll through them and feel the pulse of the city. Take the tram to the mouth of the river Douro and get to know the excellent beaches and the outdoor cafés, visit remarkable churches and monuments and encounter the non-conformist modernism of the new contemporary buildings of architects like Siza Vieira, Souto Moura or Rem Koolhaas.
Board on a medieval journey and pound the historical centre, passing by the Cathedral or the Clérigos Tower. By tram or on foot, go down to the pier and experience the feeling of making a cruise on a Rabelo boat, which sail on the river Douro. Take the opportunity to admire the six bridges of the city, visit the Port Wine cellars and taste this characteristic wine in a cosy and refined atmosphere.
Visit the Casa do Infante Museum, The São Francisco Church, the Stock Exchange Palace, the pleasant riverfront and the well preserved Ribeira and Miragaia streets. Likewise, admire the well present modernity in the Casa da Música and the Museum of Modern Art of Serralves.
Besides history and culture, Porto is also leisure, fun and night life. The famous streets around the Galeria de Paris Street, the cafés and its terraces, the Miguel Bombarda area or the commercial Saint Catarina Street are reference points in arts, in culture, but also in leisure and shopping.
Find out the best Porto has to offer and enjoy the numerous outdoor cafés by the sea and the excellent City Park on the seafront.
