Porto is the second largest city in Portugal after Lisbon and attracts its visitors with narrow old town streets, parks, impressive buildings and, of course, port wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Porto, or Oporto in Portuguese, is located on the Douro River in the Regi\u00e3o do Norte in northern Portugal. It is home to one of the country’s most important economic regions, which originally benefited from its port. However, its location also made Porto a sought-after destination for various conquerors throughout history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city is the birthplace of Henry the Navigator, who carried out conquests, especially in North Africa. In 1703, the Methuen Treaty began the breakup of domestic wool production and the port wine boom in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
