Porto is the second largest city in Portugal and it is my city. It is the city that gave Portugal its name.
It is a city known worldwide for its wine, its bridges and contemporary and ancient architecture, its historic center, the quality of its restaurants and its gastronomy, its main football team, Futebol Clube do Porto (of course it is the my football team), for its main public university the University of Porto (where I studied), as well as for the quality of its hospital centers.
Porto is the construction of time and the passage of many peoples. The Romans stayed for several centuries on the Morro da Sé, which they defended with a wall. They baptized the city "Portus", as its an important fishing port for river and sea.
The city of Porto for me is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. It has the Douro River, with its six bridges, the typical houses and streets, the beaches that are cold but beautiful, the gardens and squares, with a lot of party and is a meeting point for university students from all over the world, not to mention Portuguese gastronomy, which is even more special.
If you like history, architecture and a hapiness, you have to visit my city Porto and you will be very welcome!!
