The homeland of Vinho do Porto - the city of Porto

What to Expect

City Landmarks

• We will visit the incredibly beautiful Clérigos Tower - the country's tallest church tower.
• We will climb to the top of Penaventosa Hill, from where the whole Porto is visible at a glance.
• We will walk along narrow, ancient streets, admire buildings decorated with tiles.
• We will see the masterpieces of Portuguese baroque, as well as pay tribute to particularly remarkable buildings. One of them is the house where the Great Henry the Navigator was born.

Ribeira Promenade
Our tour will not be complete without a walk along the Ribeira promenade - the most romantic and lively place in the city. Ribeira consists of a whole gallery of steep streets and alleys, inner courtyards, and coffee terraces. The quarter remains residential, despite now being a sort of open-air museum. Small old ships moored on the promenade once transported port wine.

The World of Portuguese Wines
We can take a short trip on the Douro River to admire the breathtaking panorama of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. For over 300 years, famous wine cellars with prominently displayed names of port wine houses have been located here: Graham’s, Taylor’s, Noval, Sandeman, Fonseca, and others. At the end of this fascinating visit, we can plan a wine tasting.

We will return to Porto via the legendary Luís I Bridge, built in 1881-86 by Theófilo Seyring, a student and associate of Gustave Eiffel.
