Porto, Portugal
Country/Nation
Portugal is the most westerly country in continental
Europe. Its national borders are the oldest in Europe and
were established in the 13th century.
Five centuries ago, the Portuguese “started” globalization.
The main heritage of that process of maritime expansion is
the cultural link with seven Portuguese speaking countries,
which account for over 230 million people.
Portuguese is the fourth most spoken European language
and the sixth most spoken language on the planet.

the Middle Ages. Late
in the 1700s it became
the location where the
world famous Port wine
reaches its stage of
maturation - the
southbank cellars.
Over 1 million inhabitants live in the Metropolitan
area of Porto. The city has a dynamic cultural life
animated by theatres, museums, art exhibitions,
