Known as Portugal’s second city, Porto is located in the north and was a crucial place in early Portuguese history. The city is a vibrant place of colourful buildings built on top of a hilly landscape. The birthplace of famous adventurer Prince Henry the Navigator, Porto contained one of the largest ship ports which led to a rise in their trade and economy, particularly in wine.

The city is divided by the Douro River, a wide turquoise natural beauty. An iconic centerpiece of Porto, many companies offer cruises that sail along the river. Along the river are multiple bridges that have been constructed over time, allowing visitors easy access of all the areas of Porto. The bridges provide a great position to take in the wonderful sight of Porto’s beautiful scenery, covered with terracotta roofs.

Enjoy a half day city tour visiting the Historical Centre and its important monuments, places, streets, as well as visit a well-known wine cellar for an introduction to the famous Port Wine and some wine tasting.
In the evening enjoy a panoramic tour through the city and enjoy a delicious dinner in a traditional restaurant, accompanied by the unique sound of a live Fado Show!
