Porto Mini Guide

Porto is the second largest city in Portugal and it has a population of around 250,000 people.

It is where the dessert wine port is made and parts of the old city are so beautiful that they were being designated as world heritage sights by UNESCO in 1996. The Oporto Cathedral is its largest surviving structure.
It is a city blessed by good weather with mild wet winters and temperate dry summers, though there is the occasional heat wave at that time of the month. October November and December are the wettest months.
There are many cultural attractions in Porto including several museums, concert halls, theaters, cinemas, art galleries, libraries and book shops.
The National Museum Soares dos Reis is one of the most famous of Porto and is dedicated specifically to art movements in Portugal between the 16th and 20th century.

The Coliseu de Porto is its premier concert hall and the building was beautifully built and decorated by the Portuguese architect Cassiano Branco.

The Lello book shop was once voted by the Guardian newspaper as the third best book shop in the world and book worms would be well advised to visit it.

Porto also has a distinct culinary culture. Its flagship dish is salted cod or Bacalhau, while the Francesinha is a snack dish of a sandwich using meat, cheese and a special sauce that has beer in it. Residents of Porto also pride themselves on cooking tripe in a unique way.
 

Porto is well connected with the rest of the country with the internal highway - the Via de Cintura Interna (A20), linking to several national highways and city exits. The A41 connects all the main cities around Porto, linking the city to other major metropolitan highways such as the A7, A11, A42, A43 and A44.

There is also the Circunvalação, a four-way road, which borders the north of the city and connects the eastern side of the city to the Atlantic shore.
If you take the A28 you can go to Valenca, or you can go to Estarreja through the A29, to Lisbon through the A1, to Amarante through the A4, and to Braga through the A3.

Porto is served by Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport which is located in Pedras Rubras around 15km to the north-west of the city centre.
The airport underwent a massive refurbishment due to the Euro 2004 football championships which were partly hosted in the city and so is accordingly modern.
