Porto is Portugal's second city. It is, along with Lisbon, one of Portugal's
two global cities. The city is located
in the estuary of the Douro river, in northern Portugal. Being the largest city in the region, it is considered its
economic and cultural heart. The Greater Metropolitan Area of Porto has
a population of slightly more than
1.7 million and is the main agglomeration of northern Portugal. The city
of Porto comprises 15 civil parishes.
The historic centre of Porto was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO
in 1996. One of Portugal's most
internationally famous products, Port wine, is named after the city because it is produced in, and shipped
from this area.

Porto has a cool-summer Mediterranean climate with substantial winter rainfall.
As a result, its climate shares
many characteristics with the coastal south: warm, dry summers and mild,
rainy winters.
The Douro or Duero is one of the major rivers of the Iberian Peninsula, flowing from its source near Duruelo de
la Sierra across northern-central Spain and Portugal to its outlet at Porto.Port
wine is a Portuguese style of
fortified wine originating from the Douro Valley. It is typically a sweet,
red wine, often served as a dessert wine,
and comes in dry,semi-dry, and white varieties.

リスボンに次ぐ大都市で商工業の中心である。ポルトガルの国名もこの町に由来する。また有名なポルトワイン発祥の地で
もある。リスボンと同じく坂の多い街で細い路地裏に中世の面影をたどることが出来る。近年、メトロを中心とした空港、
都市交通機関の整備が顕著で、古い街並みのポルトを想像して訪れた旅行客を驚かせる。中心街にはカテドラル、サン・
ベント駅、ドロウ川とドン・ルイス一世橋など見所も多い。温暖な気候に恵まれ、夏でもそう暑くならないことが多い。
