The cobbled streets and maritime atmosphere of Porto will charm you as you either explore the city as part of a Douro River cruise or an exploration of coastal Europe. This is the point of embarking & departure for many cruises, so you'll likely have time before and after your journey to explore the city in greater depth. The medieval Ribeira is home to a host of delightful cafes and colorful houses, and you'll also see architecture in the old town that dates back hundreds of years. The ornate bridges that span the waterways of this town are eclipsed only by the well-deserved reputation garnered by the world renowned port wine. Your tour will continue on towards Spain, France, or the Mediterranean. Contact us when you're ready to start planning your Porto adventure.
