About Porto
City breaks to Porto, Portugal's biggest northern city, offer a unique experience of traditional culture, from the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge and the Azulejo tiles of the train station to the centuries-old wine cellars of Ribeira and Gaia and the 16th-century fortress of Praia do Carneiro beach.
