Porto Capital

Porto

Second city of Portugal, on the north bank of the Douro, with a historic center that is a World Heritage Site. The Ribeira, the Ponte Luís I, the Sé, the Palácio da Bolsa and São Francisco lie close to the river; higher up are São Bento, the Clérigos, the Lello, the Carmo, the Aliados, the Bolhão and the Capela das Almas. To the west are the Palácio de Cristal, Soares dos Reis, the Casa da Música, Serralves and the Foz, linked by tram.

Porto

Vila Nova de Gaia

City on the south bank of the Douro, opposite Porto, where Port wine has been aged in cellars for centuries. At the Cais de Gaia are the cellars, the rabelo boats and the WOW, a museum quarter. Above, the Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar and the Jardim do Morro offer the best view of Porto, and the cable car descends to the river. On the coast to the south is the Capela do Senhor da Pedra, perched on a rock on the beach.
