If you\u2019ve been to Porto, it’s impossible not to fall in love with this really charming place<\/strong>. If you haven\u2019t visited Porto yet we are pleased to welcome you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most exciting thing about Porto is that this ancient city, which dates back to pre-Roman empire days, is in the midst of re-writing its own future. The city has managed to escape most of the destruction that engulfed Europe during WWII, so its past, running many generations, is present in all parts of the city, giving Porto a magical and medieval ambiance<\/strong> that you\u2019d be hard pressed to find anywhere else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to discover everything about Porto you should wander the streets, even aimlessly. Forget about phone-maps and those trip advising that you find on google<\/em>. The city is cozy and welcoming, of relatively compact size. By the riverside, Douro, you\u2019ll witness Porto\u2019s most stunning views of colorful architecture<\/strong>. At night, the city lights up and reflects itself in the river\u2019s purple-hued water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porto is also loaded with culinary finds that surprise and delight everyone<\/strong>. Full of typical restaurants with a very special kind of sandwich, the francesinha<\/em>. The visit is not complete without enjoying the fantastic offering of portuguese wine and Port<\/strong>. A great opportunity to get yourself acquainted with this deep and complex manifestation of aging wine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you visit us in the winter season do not forget that it’s a raining city, bring your waterproof jacket and boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
