Overlooking the Douro River, Porto (also known as Oporto) is one of
the most ancient European cities, dating from the Middle Ages. It is
located on the northern bank of the river. The city’s historic centre is
the Ribeira, right on the river bank. A hilly
city means that the old trams, which have returned to the centre are a very useful means of getting around
there. Newer ones form the Metro, underground in the City and spreading
out on the north side. Beautiful buildings from the Neoclassical to Art
Nouveau abound and there are many good value restaurants – the Portuguese are very good cooks, often offering large portions.
A welcome dinner on the first evening is followed over the
following days by a mixture of tours and plenty of free time to explore
individually both locally or further afield. This tour can be extended if
required.
 
 
N.B. This
tour begins in Porto, your flights are at extra cost but assistance can
be given with booking these.
