Porto is the second largest city in Portugal, known as "Cidade Invicta" because it was never conquered by invaders. Located by the Douro River, Porto was elected "Best European Destination 2017".
The historic centre of the city is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The historical value of Old Cathedral, Church of St. Francis and Torre dos Clérigos combine with contemporary buildings such as Serralves Museum and Casa da Música, resulting in a unique and special atmosphere.
The river banks connected by D. Luis bridge present the most famous postcard image of Porto and are one of the best places to enjoy the views of the city. On the Gaia side, you can visit the famous Port Wine cellars, where you will have the opportunity to taste Portugal's best known wine.
In recent years, Porto downtown has gained a lot of popularity and is the centre of nightlife, especially on weekends, where almost all bars and music clubs are full. Ribeira and Foz do Douro areas are also important places on Porto's nightlife map, where historic architecture blends with music and art.
