The Costa Verde region

In the north-western part of the country lies this land of dense vegetation and profound historic wealth. It was here that Portugal's first king, Dom Afonso Henriques, was born in the beginning of the 12th century, having then extended the kingdom to the south, in what was considered as one of the most heroic feats of the Christian Reconquest.
The inheritance of a distant past is seen everywhere.
One may en joy an abundant gastronomy, light, acidulous wines (vinhos verdes) and rich wines, and a variety of handicrafts that mingles the shine of' the filigree with the colour of the local embroideries.

The country's longest motorway (A1, from Lisbon to Oporto) goes up to Braga (A3), in the heart of Costa Verde. If you follow the coastline on the road from Vila do Conde to Valença, you will not miss the beautiful beaches, seaside resorts and enchanting villages such as Caminha and Vila Nova de Cerveira. Inland and worthwhile visiting is the Peneda-Gerês National Park. Throughout the region the rivers, waterfalls, vineyards and fertile plots combine with the ancestral monuments in urban centers.

Oporto, the capital of the country's northern regions, with its international t airport, offers the delights of a riverside city as it is magnificently situated on the mouth of the Douro river, from where boats leave to sail up the beautiful river.

Seaside Viana do Castelo, ecclesiastic Braga, and medieval Guimarães are but a few other examples of a happy alliance between popular heritage and cosmopolitan elegance.

Discount cards: Porto VIP Passport
Founded in 1859 by António Alves Cálem, Porto Cálem was owned by the same family for four generations before passing into the hands of Sogevinus SGPS, S.A in 1998. A visit to Cálem begins with the museum and then moves on to the cellars where, at a multimedia point inside a pressing vat, the visitor is offered an overview of the oldest demarcated region in the world - the Douro Demarcated Region. The entire process of producing port wine from harvesting to bottling and ageing is also explained. The visit ends with a tasting of two types of wine and the chance to browse through our shop which offers a quality selection of Cálem port wines.

Casa da Música
Theatres & Concert halls
Address: Avenida da Boavista, 604, 4149-071 Porto

The programming, which is both dynamic and innovative, ranges from classical music to the forefront of urban trends, benefiting greatly from their four resident groups: Symphony Orchestra, Remix Ensemble, Baroque Orchestra and Choir. The institution also plays an important role in education, promoting concerts, workshops and various activities for families with children and schools. Daily there are guided tours to the building, which has several bars and a restaurant located on the rooftop, with a magnificent view over the city.

Cathedral
Religious venues
Address: Terreiro da Sé , 4050-573 Porto
Discount cards: Porto Card
Romanesque style construction began in the twelfth century however, it endured several changes up until the twentieth century, lessening its primitive coldness. The sacristy, cloister and the tiles that cover its galleries, as well as the chapel, are already from the Gothic period. A beautiful 13th century rosace stands out on the west front. The paintings by Nasoni, the carved gilt-wood altarpiece , and the silver altar of the Blessed Sacrament are all noteworthy.

Church of Santa Clara
Religious venues
Address: Largo 1º de Dezembro, 4000-404 Porto
Building of Gothic origin whose interior was covered with golden gild in the first half of the eighteenth century. The construction dates from the first half of the fifteenth century. It went through some changes in modern times when the beautiful Renaissance portal was built. This real Baroque jewel impresses by its decorative exuberance and the pleasant combination of wooden gilt and tile.

Church of the Convent of S. João Novo
Religious venues
Address: Largo de S. João Novo , 4050-554 Porto
Seventeenth century church, whose façade bears strong similarities with the Church of São Lourenço. Noteworthy is the altarpiece, a beautiful rococo piece, the tiles depicting the life of Santa Rita of Cassia, and the image of Nossa Senhora da Guia.

Clérigos Tower
Monuments
Address: Rua de S. Filipe de Nery , 4050-546 Porto
Discount cards: Porto Card
This baroque work by Nicolau Nasoni was built in the first half of the eighteenth century. The Clérigos Tower is one of the most emblematic monuments of the city of Porto. The panoramic view over the city and the river Douro which can be seen from the top of the tower makes the 240 step climb worth the effort.

Cockburns
Port Wine Cellars
Address: Rua D. Leonor de Freitas, 182, 4400-123 Vila Nova de Gaia
Founded in 1815 by Robert Cockburn, who had been involved in the wine market since 1796.

Croft
Port Wine Cellars
Address: Rua Barão de Forrester, 412, 4400¿034 Vila Nova de Gaia
Discount cards: Porto Card
The House of Croft was founded over three hundred years ago. The earliest evidence of the firm's activity as a Port shipper dates from 1588 which is coincidentally the year of the first ever recorded shipments of Port wine. The company took its present name in 1736 when it was joined by John Croft, a member of an old and distinguished family of Yorkshire wine merchants. It is now owned and run by descendants of two old Port wine families, the Yeatman's and Fladgate's. The prestige that the brand Croft and its wines have is due in no small measure to its ownership of one of the finest estates of the Douro Valley, the famous Quinta da Roêda. Availabe services: - Free visit and tasting of two kinds of Port Wine - Tasting of Port Wine and Croft Pink with chocolates - Opening of Croft Vintage Port with tongs - Conducted lesson in tasting of Port and chocolate pairing - Special Programs (Fado, "Serra" Cheese and Vintage Croft) - Port Wine Workshops

“The best place to discover Porto” The apartment is beautiful. Anabel, the owner, is very kind and helpful. We look forward to come back!

“Porto perfect, thanks to helpful property owner” Perfect place to stay with fabulous views over the river, and a great area to stay in. Porto is like a huge fishing village. We found everyone we met friendly and helpful, none more than Anabela, the owner of the apartments who went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable - picking us up very late from the airport, providing breakfast basics, port, and lots of useful information. The apartments have everything you need for a comfortable stay.One warning, due to the nature of the building, the staircase is quite steep. Apart from this, perfect.
