Located along the Douro river estuary in northern Portugal, Porto is one of the oldest European cities, and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. From it’s best restaurants to bars, shopping areas, wines tastings, and museums, there has never been a better time to experience Porto.

Make the most of your time in the city and walk down to Ribeira, one of the oldest and more typical neighbourhoods by the river Douro. On the way, visit the Palacio da Bolsa, and its magnificent Arab room and the Casa do Infante where it is believed that Henry the Navigator was born in 1394. Walk alongside the river and cross the Luiz I bridge to the other side, to Gaia, where most of the famous Portwine brands still have their cellars. All of them welcome visitors for guided tours and wine tastings. Have lunch at one of the many restaurants and enjoy the magnificent view overlooking Porto.

If you enjoy modern architecture and art, don't miss the Serralves Museum, designed by the Pritzker prize winner Siza Vieira where, besides the contemporary art exhibitions, you can explore its magnificent gardens. Have a break at the tea house by the old tennis court. Alternatively you can walk through the R. Miguel Bombarda, the art galleries street where you can also find all kinds of new age shops and restaurants. Stop at Rota do Cha for a nice cup of tea and scones.
