Porto, a city with a history so ancient, that even your grandma’s vintage record collection would be jealous. Legend has it that a dude named Vímara Peres decided to set up camp here, probably because he heard the wine was spectacular. Little did he know, he was about to become the founding father of Porto. Move over, George Washington!

Dating back to the 17th century, some genius figured out that if you add brandy to wine, you get Port wine. Voilà! Suddenly, Porto became the hippest place to savor sweet nectar, and the Douro Valley vineyards were the rockstars of the region. Today, Porto is a dynamic blend of history and modern flair, where every cobblestone seems to whisper tales of maritime adventures, port wine secrets, and a rebellious spirit that refuses to be bottled. History buffs, get ready to spice up the kick-off of 2024 with some historical flair – Porto is your go-to destination for a month to remember!

Here’s the lowdown on the places you absolutely cannot miss when you find yourself gallivanting around Porto!
