Porto é a cidade que deu o nome a Portugal – desde muito cedo (c. 200 a.C.), quando se designava de Portus Cale, vindo mais tarde a tornar-se a capital do Condado Portucalense, de onde se formou Portugal. É ainda uma cidade conhecida mundialmente pelo seu vinho, pelas suas pontes e arquitetura contemporânea e antiga, o seu centro histórico, classificado como Património Mundial pela UNESCO.
A cidade do Porto, construída sobre as colinas com vista para o rio Douro, é uma ilustre paisagem urbana com mais de 2,000 anos de história. O seu continuo crescimento, ligado ao mar (os Romanos chamavam-lhe Portus, ou porto), pode ser visto nos muitos e variados monumentos, desde a catedral com o seu coro Romanesco, ao Neo-Clássico Palácio da Bolsa até ao estilo manuelino tipicamente português da Igreja de Santa Clara.(1)
Turismo
Como pontos turísticos, destacam-se a Torre dos Clérigos, da autoria de Nasoni, e a Fundação de Serralves, um museu de arte contemporânea.
O Centro Histórico é Património da Humanidade, classificado pela UNESCO.
A Foz é outra zona altamente turística, por muitos considerada a mais bela zona da cidade, onde se pode desfrutar da beleza do Oceano Atlântico conjugada com um belíssimo e romântico passeio marítimo.
Ainda, em evidência, está o Mercado do Bolhão, um símbolo arquitetónico de comércio tradicional, onde se encontram as famosas vendedeiras do Mercado, características da cidade.
O conjunto histórico classificado pela UNESCO, é um dos pontos turísticos mais visitados da cidade do Porto, onde se podem encontrar diversos pontos de comércio, praças e edifícios históricos, que estão na origem da cidade, como a Sé Catedral.

The second biggest city in Portugal and on the north coast of the country you will find Porto. This is an amazing city, not too big (800.000) and it has everything you can ask for. Good food, friendly people, nice vine (portvine), interesting arcitechture (both modern and historical), river and even beaches.
If you travel to this country you will soon find out that the Portugese people are very friendly, and they speak better English than their neighbours in east.Leer mais

Serralves Museum
@adrianmada321s
The architectural plans for the Serralves Museum were first drawn up in 1991 by the architect Álvaro Siza. The new building was finally inaugurated in 1999, harmoniously integrated within the surrounding urban area and the pre-existing spaces of the gardens of the Park and Villa.
Visitors to the Serralves Museum also discover the particularities of the diferent spaces within this architectural work, that has a strong organizational structure and great flexibility and transformational capacity, enabling it to respond to the diversity and unpredictability of the contemporary art works to be displayed.Leer mais

Color Challenge Orange -- Porto in Perspective
@aschristyseesit
Sometimes a change in perspective is all we need to see things completely differently.
What would happen if we began to see all of our challenges, all of our fears, as something to be grateful for? Can we break down what we're used to, can we break down how fear makes us feel, and instead accept it as one of life's greatest gifts? What if those of us who fear have the greatest accessibility to unlock ourselves?Leer mais

Porto! Your food is amazing! Visiting an amazing city in Portugal
@exyle/
It was my first time flying with Ryanair and I vow I will next time pay for better seats! My goodness, there is even less space than Easyjet. And Easyjet is tough enough as it is for somebody my length (2mtr). It does explain why Ryanair is so cheap. We only paid 80 euro for a return flight for two. So, can't complain much!
Luckily the flight from Eindhoven to Porto was only 2,5 hours. So, gangrene had not set in yet. After landing it only took 20 minutes for the blood to return to my legs and I could get out of the plane. Leer mais
Douro – The wine capital of the world
@indiedg
In this beautiful Portuguese region, the wine production can be dated back to the 12th century. But not only until the 17th century that the Douro valley became the source of what have we known as today as Port. It was the Treaty of Windsor, signed by England and Portugal in 1386, which sowed the seeds for the emergence of this great classic wine and the transformation of the Douro Valley into one of the most renowned of the worlds wine regions.
Since early that the Douro valley has been sculptured to produce the greatest and most exquisite wines in the world. This long history with wine has shaped the landscape that we see today. Leer mais
