Porto

Porto may be Portugal’s second city, but it takes first place in many cruisers’ hearts. It’s a gastronomic wonderland – with port and tonics, pastel de natas and excellent seafood.

You’ll find that both ocean liners and river cruise ships stop at its ports.

This port town acts as an idyllic gateway to Portugal’s oldest wine-producing region. It’s the perfect place to learn about the area's viticulture in beautiful surroundings. Nearby, you’ll also find Casa de Mateus – this 18th-century baroque palace is known for its hedge-lined labyrinths and richly carved interiors.
