Porto - City & Nature
Porto is exceptional in more ways than one. Elected Best European Destination 2017, the called “unvanquished city” (after its resistance to the Napoleonic Imperial army) is full of history, architecture, culture, gastronomy, and of course, is a Mecca for wine lovers.
Porto is one of the oldest cities of Portugal, and, as such, there are thousand charms and corners that are worth discovering in the capital of the North. It is a unique experience to stroll through its streets and feel the pulse of the city. From the river Douro to the excellent beaches, the churches and monuments and the non-conformist modernism of the new contemporary buildings of architects like Siza Vieira, or Rem Koolhaas, this is a city to remember.
