Street in Ribeira district of Porto.
In the background, we see Douro river and Vila Nova de Gaia city. Vila Nova de Gaia is a city in the Northern region of Portugal that forms the metropolitan area of Porto (Oporto City is directly opposite). This is the second largest city in Portugal by population. It is located on the left bank of the Douro River. The municipality limits the north with Porto.
One of Portugals internationally famous exports, port wine, is named for Porto, since the metropolitan area, and in particular the caves of Vila Nova de Gaia, were responsible for the packaging, transport and export of the fortified wine.
In 2014, Porto was elected The Best European Destination by the Best European Destinations Agency
