Porto, more than a city...
Find out why, our city is considered the best European destination 2017 with White Almada Oporto Apartments. Walk through the streets of Baixa, visit the Port Wine Cellars, navigate the Douro River and let yourself be amazed by the fantastic landscapes you can enjoy and don’t leave the city without trying a Francesinha.

Portugal conquers tourists for its gastronomy, but this is even more true in Porto and in the northern region. In any restaurant, more refined or more popular, there is the certainty of a good meal accompanied by the excellent wines of the Douro, or by the fresh green wine, characteristic of the region.
In gastronomic terms, on the Cais de Gaia side it is a good option, but Ribeira is also teeming with restaurants and terraces, such as Foz, with beautiful views over the sea.
The historic center of Porto and the bank of the Douro River, on the side of Vila Nova de Gaia where the Port wine cellars are located, are classified by UNESCO as World Heritage.
