PORTO__P

Porto the capital of northern  Portugal - set near the Atlantic on  the Douro River. Portugal’s second largest city, Porto is known worldwide for its production of Port wine, which comes from the vineyards lining the Douro River Valley, a World Heritage Site.

 

In fact, Porto is where Portugal gets its name. Today the city is thriving,  with a reborn Ribeira (riverfront) district, historic cobblestone squares with eateries and cafes. Gaia, across the Douro, is the home to Port wine - and boasts dozens of Port wine estates. TAP and SATA both offer flights from the US to Porto.
