Take a flight to Porto with Brussels Airlines and you will be charmed by what you find. World-famous Port wine, the typical alleyways and the picturesque “zona ribeirinha” on the River Douro are all good reasons to take a flight to Porto, but the city has even more to offer… Porto is the second biggest city in Portugal and has been placed on UNESCO’s list of world heritage sites. As your flight to Porto comes in to land, you may be able to see that it is situated on steep granite hills and provides a view of the River Douro. Once on the ground, you will discover the city centre is a jumble of narrow nineteenth-century lanes and alleyways. Porto’s main tourist attraction is the Vila Nova de Goia district, which is the historic birthplace of Port wine. Tourists on our flights to Porto are spoilt for choice. Porto has a large number of sights with religious connotations that are certainly worth a visit. They include Sé, a 13th-century cathedral, and Igreja de São Fransisco, a gothic church with rococo influences. Torre dos Clérigos, a 75-metre-high tower from the 18th century, is also worth a visit. From the top of this tower, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the city of Porto. Portugal is a relatively small country with friendly people and many of our passengers on our flights to Porto use the city as a base, exploring the beautiful countryside and rugged coastline and enjoying the world famous fresh sardines and other seafood.
