Prepare to explore one of Portugal’s most ancient and respected cities: Porto, famously known as the ‘unconquerable city’. Presently, Porto holds the position of being Portugal’s second largest and most significant city, recognized as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1996. Porto is distinct in its relationship with the river, boasting the Ribeira district’s mosaic of tile-clad buildings and views of the Port wine cellars.
You’ll stroll through its quaint streets and snug city centre, take in stunning panoramas from multiple vantage points, absorb its rich history and traditions, and immerse yourself in local life. Additionally, we’ll explore Porto’s impact on pop culture and its link to the Harry Potter franchise.
