Located along the Douro River estuary in Northern Portugal, Porto is one of the oldest European cities with a UNESCO recognised historic centre which dates back centuries. An age-old outpost for the Roman Empire, its Celtic Latin origins can be traced back to the naming of Portugal and Port wine, one of the country’s most famous exports.
