Porto has an interesting history that goes all the way back to the Ancient Romans. Around the year 450, Cale was a small Celtic village where the Romans built a port, called "Portus Cale", being occupied later on by the Visigoths, the Arabs and the Spanish, resulting in one of the most diverse cities in Europe. Despite being the second biggest city in Portugal, Porto was the city that gave rise to the name of the country.

Ribeira in Baixa offers some of the best views in the city. From here one can see the imposing Luis I Bridge, designed by Gustave Eiffel, and the port wine cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. Check out the gastronomic thrills of the city with a stroll through the Ribeira alley taverns. Sample Vitor Matos’s famed food at the Antiqvvm, a star restaurant in the Michelin Guide 2019.
