Bathed by the Douro River, the magic and mysticism of this place are unquestionable. The river bathes the shores of the old city and at the same time is the birthplace of the many vineyards where grapes come from to produce the Iconic Porto Wine. You can visit the caves and experience the history and the variety of wines produced in the city.
From architecture to arts and music, Porto is now the place most favourable for startups to grow and an entrepreneurship hub, where you can combine the busy working life with the joy of its maritime weather combined with the tasty and traditional food. If you take this menu into consideration plus the genuine and welcoming people that make this city so warm and welcoming, the “Best European Destination” was a good win prize in the past year.
