About Porto

Situated at the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean, it was from Porto that Prince Henry the Navigator set out in 1415 bound for Africa, heralding the Portuguese Age of Discovery.

The UNESCO old town, Ribeira, has a cathedral and the ornate Sao Francisco Church. Harry Potter fans can visit the Livraria Lello which inspired J.K. Rowling’s books and back down at the waterside a visit – and tasting – in one of the historic port houses is a must.
