More About Us

Visit Porto

Porto is Portugal’s second city, built around the famous Douro River. The city has a village feel with a beautiful old town, excellent wine bars (no surprise there being the home of port) and rooftops to enjoy views and sunsets from. Restaurants line the river and a weekend in the city requires sampling a francesinha – we can point you in the direction of the best ones.

Arching over the cities river is the impressive double-decked metal Dom Luis I bridge, linking the medieval city with Vila Nova de Gaia. Dotted around here you will find centuries old port firms, founded by British merchant families and are still owned by their successors to this day. Meet the future generations as they continue the traditional ways of creating port but also as they explore new means of production. For three centuries these warehouses have been producing world-famous port, and no trip to the city is complete without enjoying a tipple or two in one of its many bars.

Sarah & Michael

We went to Portugal to experience the Douro Valley, but True Travel delivered so much more than that. We loved the experiences we requested, but it was their extra suggestions which made the trip extra special – the Presidential Train was a highlight.
