Located on the banks of the Douro River, in the north of Portugal, Porto is one of the oldest cities in Europe. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages and today it is the second largest metropolis in the country, after Lisbon. In addition to its natural beauty, Porto has an attractive historic center that you can explore on foot and which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. Its narrow streets, classic and modern buildings, the Douro River and the proximity of the sea will give you give this city a nostalgic and special charm.
