"Porto is exceptional. In more ways than one."
Elected Best European Destination by the travellers from 174
countries, Porto, the "Cidade Invicta" (unvanquished city) is history,
is architecture, culture, gastronomy, trade, encounters and
discoveries.
Located along the Douro River estuary in northern Portugal, Porto
is one of the oldest European centres, and its core was proclaimed
a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. The western part of its
urban area extends to the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean. Its
settlement dates back many centuries, when it was an outpost of
the Roman Empire. Its combined Celtic-Latin name,
Portus Cale, has been referred to as the origin of the
name Portugal.
