City Overview
Porto is Portugal’s second city and northern gateway — the home of the Douro Valley and Port wine, with a historic centre and wine cellars as World Heritage. From an industrial port it has become a tech, startup and tourism city; low cost and a mild climate have made it a rising favorite for digital nomads and expats. Tiled facades, iron bridges and a riverside setting are distinctive, it is safe and relaxed — the economic, cultural and tourism center of northern Portugal.
