Porto has the look of a city that's had its ups and downs, but its beauty shines through in tile-covered buildings, unaltered shop fronts from decades past and the winding streets that tumble down to the sparkling Douro river. But more than just elegant decay, it's also a city in the ascendant, home to new, young businesses providing a fresh alternative to traditional family-run shops, restaurants and bars. With parks, walks and a beach too, it's no wonder everybody loves Porto.
