Oporto
A UNESCO World Heritage site and the North's most important city, Oporto lent its name to the famous port wine and to Portugal. A stroll around its typical quarters (especially the area on the waterside, the zona ribeirinha), and its bustling downtown, is a must. The Stock Exchange Palace, the Romanesque-Gothic Cathedral, the churches of Cedofeita, São Francisco, and Carmo, as well as the Clérigos tower, all lend Oporto a special feel. The Port lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia offer the chance to understand the process involved in the making of port, finished with a free tasting!
