Settled by Romans, this is an emblematic city known for its delicious Port Wine, medieval townhouses stack up beside the beautiful Douro River and churches wearing their blue-and-white “azulejo” tiles.
Our private driver/guide will explain you the rich History of this city, also called “Invicta” (the Unbeaten City), its heroes and battles and will guide you towards the trendiest and most cultural area of the city.
