One of the most important elements of Porto’s cultural heritage is the port wine that you can taste on your visit there. The irony is that that esteemed dessert wine is actually made just across a bridge from Porto in another town. And then there’s the fact that the most famous port wine brand were established by Englishman and Scots.
Masses of tourists are visiting the Portuguese city of Porto, which is becoming an emerging tourist destination for all the right reasons: Gorgeous medieval architecture, a devotion to its cultural roots, and an iconic alcoholic beverage, all in a truly chilled out atmosphere.
Just a few years back, Porto was not the hot international destination that it is today. The boom there is changing what the city has to offer. But if you’re an early bird, you can probably catch a more authentic version of Porto and its people as they actually live in this gorgeous Portuguese town.
