Breakfast and departure to discover Porto. According to many visitors, this city has something mystical that is difficult to describe and that varies according to the place, time and daylight.
In truth, it certainly relates to its inhabitants, known for being liberal and affable, as well as the Douro and the heritage of its banks, with its bridges and monuments, its azulejos, its flowered balconies and its shopping streets. The historic center of Porto and the Douro shore on the Gaia side, where the port wine cellars are located, are listed as World Heritage.

Continuation towards the cathedral (Sé) whose chapel entirely chiselled of silver (visit included).
