Porto, home of the famous Portuguese wine, is a choice destination for wine connoisseurs, but it's known for more than just its cellars. The historic center, known as Ribeira, contains architectural gems including granite churches, Baroque monuments, colorful buildings with balconies covered in flowers and the famous azulejos at every street corner. Here you can find solitude, sitting beside a fountain or wandering along the Duoro and where there are many spots to taste local specialties.
