The Costa Verde region

As its name suggests, you can expect to find all shades of green in the rolling hills, mountains and fertile valleys, where agriculture thrives due to heavy rainfall that makes this the greenest zone in Portugal.

A coastline of unpolluted beaches welcomes the Atlantic Ocean, while visitors can also enjoy the countryside, with its small farms, estates with splendid mansions that have been handed down within families for centuries, vineyards and forests of pines or oaks. The food is considered to be one of the country's best. From the most varied forms of cooking cod to apparently odd dishes, like tripas à moda do Porto (stewed tripe with beans) or rojões (where cumin is used to spice pork cooked in wine and garlic), not to speak of the magnificent wines and desserts.

The main cities are Braga (with its baroque churches, parks and the extraordinary flight of stairs of Bom Jesus), Guimarães (celebrated, with its ancient castle, as the birthplace of the nation), Viana do Castelo (with opulent mansions built in Renaissance and Baroque styles and breath-taking views), and, of course, Porto, the second largest Portuguese city, with its 19th century architectural atmosphere and the boast of giving its name to the Port Wine.

Overlooking the Douro River, Porto is one of the most ancient European cities, It was born and developed from the northern bank of this river during the Middle Ages. One of the most significant aspects of Porto and its historical centre is its landscape, combining harmony with the urban structure and presenting a frame of rare beauty. The city was classified as World Heritage by UNESCO in 1996.

Oporto area

Just a block away from Torre dos Clérigos, one of the landmarks of the city, you are right in the centre. In easy walking distance is the entire world heritage historic centre. In addition to the tower, visit the Town Hall, the Tourist Office, S. Bento Station, the Cathedral, the Ribeira, the Port Wine Cellars, the Stock Exchange Palace, the Church of St. Francis, the Portuguese Photography Centre, and the Soares dos Reis National Museum.

5 minutes away is the Rua de Miguel Bombarda area, where you can feel the city’s creative pulse, visiting countless art galleries and alternative design, fashion, music and other shops. In the opposite direction, just next door, on Rua da Almada, you can see how new crafts are blending with the old. Here you can buy seventies clothing next to a hardware store, or record your own vinyl record, as well as hunt for rare LPs and singles.

The underground station is down the street, in the main square. The historic tram passes along the street above. Buses and taxis are everywhere to be found. The tourist office and City Tour are three minutes away. From here you can embark on a tour of Porto’s contemporary architecture. The Casa da Música and Serralves Contemporary Art Museum with its enormous gardens are a must see. Afterwards, head down to the seaside to enjoy the magnificent beach cafés. Return to the centre along the waterside to take in the beautiful Douro River with its bridges.

At night, the historic cafés, restaurants, bars and clubs fill with revellers. You are also at the heart of the city’s nightlife.
