PORTUGAL - Porto (Oporto)
Porto is one of Portugal’s oldest cities. Experience a nostalgic journey with an old-fashioned tram ride to Foz, where the River Douro meets the Atlantic Ocean. Or visit the great churches and monuments evoking some of the great personalities and events of Portuguese history.
Don't forget the visit of Gaia (Vila Nova de Gaia) easily reachable by a bridge over the Douro which is a hub for the wine industry but also a tourist destination with cellars and tastings for local wines.
On a Douro cruise you’ll see the imposing bridges that connect the past and future of the city of Porto, and also get the best views of the narrow streets leading up from the river.
