Porto City 4K Drone and Walk Footage in Portugal

Описание: Porto may be Portugal's second city – after Lisbon – but it did give the country its name from the Roman Portus Cale. Centuries later, the city became famous for its 'divine nectar of the Gods', tastings of which are highly recommended in any of the port lodges lining the riverside in Vila Nova de Gaia

Porto is chiefly famous for the export of the wine named for it, a popular fortified wine usually served after meals. The trade in port was begun in 1678 and was firmly established under the terms of the Methuen Treaty (1703) between England and Portugal

Porto is a coastal city in northwest Portugal known for its stately bridges and port wine production. In the medieval Ribeira (riverside) district, narrow cobbled streets wind past merchants’ houses and cafes. São Francisco Church is known for its lavish baroque interior with ornate gilded carvings. The palatial 19th-century Palácio de Bolsa, formerly a stock market, was built to impress potential European investors. ― Google
