What To Expect

Porto

It is the city that gave its name to Portugal - very early, when designated for Portus Cale, coming later to become the capital of Portucalense. Founded by the Romans in the fourth century Porto grew up on both sides of the river and on its hillsides. This Mediterranean looking city is located on the Douro River on the northwest coast of Portugal. It is on the itinerary of many discriminating ocean cruise lines and is the starting point for the ever-increasing popular vacation choice, river cruising, for this country.

Praca da Batalha

Venture to Batalha Square: it's a historical public square located in the city of Porto. The Batalha area has been an important cultural spot for centuries. In 1794, it was here that the Oporto's opera house, the Royal Theatre of São João, was built. The theatre still exists, although the original building had to be replaced in 1908 following a fire. An important monument of the square is the Batalha Palace, a good example of a late 18th-century urban palace of Porto. The main façade, in a style intermediate between baroque and neoclassical, carries the coat-of-arms of the former owners.
