Porto, a city to discover
Located along the Douro River estuary in the North of Portugal, Porto is the second-largest city in Portugal and one of the Iberian Peninsula’s major urban areas. Meeting the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean, Porto is one of the oldest European urban centres. Indeed, the entire Historic Centre of Oporto is classified as a National Monument.
Porto is a city to visit manly on foot, seizing the ancient streets and the characteristic monuments, flavoring the typical delicacies or meeting the iconic people. There are a lot of places to visit and many different activities to do, including strolls by the riverside, dives in blue flagged beaches or rides in the historical tram tours.
Stories say that this historic city had also a great influence on the name of the country. With a center river mouth location known as “Cale”, later called by the Romans “Portus Cale” derived of the port setting, the designation later resulted in “Portucale”, and finally the name “Portugal” arose.
