Practical Information about Porto

Located in the north of Portugal, Porto is one of Europe's oldest tourist destinations.  Porto’s rich diversity soon charms all its visitors, from those who want to visit it for its history and authenticity, to those who want to explore a new, more cosmopolitan and contemporary city.

Discovering Porto means discovering what makes it different: its famous Port Wine, a historical centre designated as World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, museums, enchanting parks and gardens, fashion boutiques by national and international designers. Porto has something special for everyone.

After a three weeks’ period of online voting, Porto was elected, by the European citizens, the European Best Destination 2014, winning the title ahead of 19 big European cities.
