Porto is one of the oldest cities in the country and, as such, its route is winding and picturesque. Strolling along its streets and feeling the pulse of the city is a unique experience.

Go on a tram trip to the mouth of the Douro River and see the excellent beaches and outdoors cafés/restaurants, visit churches and monuments, and be dazzled by the non-conformist modernism of the new contemporary buildings by architects like Siza Vieira, Souto de Moura or Rem Koolhaas.

The Douro was the first wine region in the world to be demarcated and regulated in 1756. Here is produced the famous Port Wine and it is possible to find two places declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO: the Upper Douro wine region and the Archaeological Centre of rock art in Vila Nova de Foz Côa.

It is essential to visit museums, wine producing estates and nature parks, try traditional and local gastronomy, experience unique events such as the grape harvest and lagaradas (foot-treading), go on a cruise on the river Douro, travel by train along the river bank, venture in the extreme activities that the wealth of the Douro has to offer.
