Porto Vacation Guide
Porto (also known as Oporto in English and Spanish) is the biggest city in the North of Portugal and the center of the second largest Portuguese metropolitan area, with a total of 1.2 million residents.
The city is famous worldwide for the Port Wine, its Bridges, the city center (classified by UNESCO World's Heritage) and for is main football team FC Porto (winer, among others, of the UEFA Champions League and World Clubs Cup in 2004).
In the summertime there are festivals in the city park of Jardins do Palácio de Cristal. Herbie Hancock performed there for free in August 2008.
Porto is not as glorious as Lisboa, but full of Life and history - To some people it seems to be so much more "authentic" than the capital.
If you plan to visit the city you might also get a warm welcome from the also known Portuguese hospitality.

But life is full of things you don't want to do,…
