Porto, this gracious capital of the north, is Portugal's second largest city and a thriving industrial hub, successfully blending commercial efficiency with an atmosphere of unpretentious charm.
Rich from centuries of trade, modern Oporto is as much a cosmopolitan centre as it is a city steeped in the historical events of the past.
Magnificently
situated on the great gorge of the River Douro, which spills into the
Atlantic after its scenic 927 km journey from Spain, the 'granite city' is
best known for its striking bridges and the much celebrated Port wine,
which is stored and savoured by wine lovers all over the world.
The fishing towns of Matosinhos and Leça da Palmeira to the north of Oporto boast some of the best fish and seafood restaurants in Portugal.
