Porto

300 BC on the site of the port there were living ancient tribes mixed with the Celts and they lived peacefully until the invasion of the Romans in 136. The Romans called the city Portus Calais, and later the name gave the name of the whole country. The port was occupied by the Westgoths and the Moors, and after the reconquest of Porto, it became part of the Portucale county. In 1387, the longest contract in the history of diplomacy was the Anglo-Portuguese treaty, as a result of which, by the 18th century, the British opened a huge number of their offices in Porto. The sale of port wine to England has improved. And 15% of the population of the city is British.

An interesting fact is that the city of Porto has always been in charge of the trading elite. There was no aristocracy here, they were not allowed to settle down here and build their mansions.

• Boyru da Ces picturesque quarter, a labyrinth of streets, houses built on the rocks.
• The promenade Cais lt Ribera with its colorful houses along the river, in which there are cozy restaurants and cute cafes.

• The Livraria Lello bookstore is exactly the store that inspired Joan Rowling to write her famous tale of Harry Potter.
• The city has very interesting old buildings side by side with modern ones. But walking there is somewhat difficult because of the mountainous landscape.
