Porto is the Portuguese city of colours. It is the second most important city in Portugal after Lisbon, a city with which it has maintained a healthy rivalry over the years. Today it remains one of the emblems of the Portuguese country, specifically for its extraordinary wines. But Porto is much more than this: art, integration with the landscape, colourful architecture, and, above all, its Douro river. It still retains that melancholic and decadent touch that dazzles many, grabs you and practically makes you feel obliged to return.

A good idea to start exploring Porto is to go to the Batalha neighbourhood, in the upper part of the city. There you will find the impressive SÈ Cathedral, a temple whose construction took so long that it was built in a variety of styles that appeared over such a long period of time. Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, the SÈ is a harvest of the best of Porto's art! Don't fall in love with the tile decoration.
Continuing with the monumental and artistic heritage of the city. In this field we cannot miss the imposing city walls, an incomparable vestige declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. You will be able to enjoy two types of walls, the ancient one of Roman origin, called Cerca Velga, and the more modern one called Cerca Nova. After the growth of the city, the walls were progressively demolished, although today some sections are still preserved. The best preserved is known as Trecho dos Guind·is.
The Ribera del Duero, also known for being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and not for nothing, given the spectacular cultural landscape it offers us. You will be able to admire the unmistakable and most popular panoramic view of the city, with its charming little colourful houses. You can't miss the sunset on the river, an unforgettable experience. If you can't resist the urge to sail the river, you can do so by booking a cruise on board one of the rabeiros.
Make sure you have everything in your suitcase, book your parking space and make the most of your trip.
