DAY TOUR, PORTO: HISTORICAL WALKING TOUR

Located on the banks of the Douro River, the charming town of Porto was founded in the 4th century by the Romans, and its name comes from “Portus”, meaning port in Latin. Porto played a significant role in the country’s history, particularly during the Age of Discoveries, when it was a major centre for shipbuilding and trade. Today, Porto is a popular destination known for its historic architecture, wine production, and picturesque riverside district of Ribeira.
