Porto and the Douro are two of Europe's most beloved destinations. The overwhelming landscapes and inspiring alleys unite both places, able to attract at first sight those who visit them! Let us introduce you to Porto and the Douro Valley.
The Douro Region is recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage" since 2001. Its beauty comes from the monumentality of its rugged slopes bathed by the Douro River.
The Douro is one of the most rugged regions in Portugal, sculpted by the Douro River valley and the schist soils. Nowhere else in Portugal is man's intervention in the landscape so evident, visible in the thousands of terraces scattered throughout the region, defying the gravity of the steep slopes where the vines are planted. For its immense beauty, the region was recognized by UNESCO as a "World Heritage Site".
The Douro region is connected to the city of Porto, and ties in with this exquisite city, since, the wine would go down the Douro River in Rabelo boats and age in the warehouses in Gaia, due to the slight temperature variation during the year.
Porto, a city is a feast for the senses. Unwrap Porto in all its charms, from the warmth of its people to the beauty of its landscapes.
