Description:

A historical center and UNESCO-listed World Heritage Site, Portugal’s second-largest city of Porto oozes charm and character. On this tour, you visit notable monuments and extravagant churches, cruise along the Douro River, learn about the city’s history, and sample its trademark port wine.

Porto boasts an abundance of medieval relics, Baroque-style churches, tall towers, and noble beaux-arts buildings that rest comfortably upon one other. Begin by following your guide through the narrow lanes and zigzagging streets that wind throughout the city. Explore the Ribeira district, the city’s historic port center, and visit monumental landmarks like the Tramway Museum and the São Francisco Church. At the imposing Clérigos Tower, you can take in aerial views of the city from a height of 248 feet (75.6 m).

Take some free time to wander around at your own leisure before embarking on a 1-hour cruise on the Douro River. Relax as you set sail along this vital waterway and admire the city sights that pass by. Your tour finishes with a visit to one of Porto’s internationally known wine cellars. Taste the city’s emblematic wine and learn about the history of this fortified beverage produced exclusively in the Douro Valley.
