"Azulejo Tiles, Port Wine & the Most Soulful City in Europe"
ABOUT
Porto, perched dramatically on granite cliffs above the Douro River, is one of Europe's most atmospheric and rewarding destinations - a city that wears its ancient soul openly. The medieval Ribeira waterfront district (UNESCO World Heritage) is lined with colorful azulejo-tile-covered townhouses and wine bars. Cross the iconic Dom Luis I iron bridge on foot for sweeping river views, visit the magnificent São Bento railway station covered in 20,000 blue-and-white tiles depicting Portuguese history, and descend to the Vila Nova de Gaia riverbank for cellar tours and tastings of the world's finest Port wine. Porto's food scene is extraordinary - from iconic francesinha sandwiches to fresh Atlantic seafood.
