About Porto

Porto was recently considered the best European destination in 2014. It's a Portuguese city located in Northwest Portugal. The metropolitan area is constituted by 17 adjacent municipalities, which form together a single urban area, with about 1,682,492 inhabitants, making it the largest city in Northwestern peninsular area. It's a city known worldwide for its wine, the bridges and ancient and contemporary architecture. Its historic center was considered World Heritage by UNESCO, for its gastronomy and its main public university, the University of Porto, placed among the top 350 universities in the world and among the 100 best universities in Europe. The region is also served by two major infrastructures: the Port of Leixões, representing 25% of the Portuguese international trade and handling about 14 million tons of goods per year, and the Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, which is the best airport in Portugal in terms of terminal space and has been awarded as the world's best in the category of airports up to 5 million passengers.

A city of Art and Architecture, famous for the Serralves Museum (and its new Miró collection), designed by Pritzker-winner Siza Vieira, and for the groundbreaking Casa da Música (House of Music). Porto is a reflection of the Portuguese spirit of conquer that lead the country to the Discoveries, home of many illustrious figures: Souto Moura (another Pritzker-winner from Porto), J. K. Rowling, Manuel de Oliveira, Guilhermina Suggia, Prince Henry the Navigator and many others. Today, Porto is one of the main motors of Portugal's creative, scientific and economical drive, contributing to show the country's global perspective, cultural importance, tolerance spirit, and position in the world.


Arriving to Porto

By plane
The Francisco Sá Carneiro airport, was considered, in 2010, by the Airports Council International (ACI), the second best airport in Europe in the traffic category and, in 2007, it was considered the best European airport up to 5 million passengers. This airport is very convenient due to: the existence of flights to all European capitals, including low-cost (internal flights to Lisbon can cost between 10 to 50 euros), and easy access to the center of the city, through metro, with brief waiting time, good passing frequency, and low cost -- the trip costs about 2.00€. A taxi ride to the centre costs around 20 euros.

By train
The city has two train stations. Campanhã is the one where most trains, including from Lisbon, stop. It's connected to the city center by metro and by train to São Bento station, which is worth a visit. Fast trains to Lisbon take between 2h30 and 3h and they stop in cities such as Aveiro and Coimbra, and close to beaches. There are international connections to Galicia and Madrid.

Sunday, 9 July 2017
Optional Social Programme

Douro Valley -- Wine and Heritage

The route we invite you to join is an unforgettable experience in the Douro Region and its Vineyards, World Heritage of UNESCO, with the degustation of regional flavours in a rustic environment, authentic and breath taking. The landscape across this journey takes us to an indelible sensation of flying over the Douro river, enjoying an unique experience as the vineyards in descending terraces seem to embrace the golden waters.


The voyage continues in a path alongside the Douro that will allow us to see more interior villages, where the natural beauty still persists in a multicolour palette of the vineyards, oaks and olive trees. It will be possible to witness the greatness and depth of the river valley, at an elevated point, where the landscape that opens in front of our eyes must be experienced and not described.
