estuary in Northern Portugal, Porto is one of the oldest European centres, and its historical
core was proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. One of Portugal’s
internationally famous exports, port wine, is named for Porto, since the metropolitan area,

transport and export of the fortified wine. In 2014, Porto was elected The Best European
