Portugal - Porto
Porto is the second-largest city in Portugal, after Lisbon, and the name “Porto” itself influenced the name of the country “Portugal”. Established by the Celts on the mouth of the Douro River, it was occupied by the Romans during the fourth century, transforming it into an influential commercial port and renaming it “Portus Cale”. Porto is best known for two things: its river, the Douro, an evermore popular choice for river cruises, and its port.
One of the oldest cities in Europe, its maze of steep and narrow cobbled streets is home to beautiful plazas, churches and houses with colorfully tiled façades.
Here a view of the picturesque Bairro Ribeira
