Situated just above the mouth of the Douro River into the vast Atlantic, branching over an area of more than 40 kilometres and with a population of over 1.5 million, the city may at frst glance seem like a large metropolis. However, it resonates with inexhaustible peace and it gives the impression that time stopped here several hundred years ago. We are going for a photographic walk around Porto – a haven for tourists visiting it.
