Attractions Porto
Porto is Portugal's second largest city which attracts tourists with its architecture and unique spirit. You first take a walk through the hilly terrain with endless descents and ascents among the colorful old houses and modern buildings, then you go to a cozy restaurant, taste national Portuguese dishes and the famous port wine – a drink named after this city – imagine that!
Porto is a web of streets framed by ancient and contemporary buildings. A sightseeing tour with an English speaking guide is a great opportunity to get to know this amazing city and its spirit.
