Why Portugal for an Incentive?

Food and drink

Whether you choose exclusive restaurants or small taverns, you will find variety, quality and … a few surprises. Be sure to try the typical dishes such as ”Tripas à moda do Porto” (it is on account of this dish that Porto citizens are called “tripeiros”) and the” Francesinha”, which had everything to be a simple snack, but you will find it to be much more than that. Be amazed by our wine lists, and make sure to focus on our national wines, particularly those who depart from Porto to the rest of the world: the renowned Douro wines.

Porto has always been a town of cafes. Places like Majestic or Guarany, or others, less impressive to the sight, but equally stage to passionate conversations and intense gatherings. Now Porto is also a city of bars and clubs, where the act of having a drink or dancing gets along well with those who prefer just to stroll among the small crowd that gathers in the area of Galerias de Paris. There you will find bars to suit every taste and many of them don’t even charge entrance fees. Choose the ambience that most suits you.

Historic City

When roaming through the city you will find many buildings and monuments perpetuating the history of the city and its golden ages, from medieval times, through the Baroque era, until it turned into the cosmopolitan metropolis that prides itself on what it is today. Some of the most striking are the Cathedral, at the top of the hill where the medieval borough started to grow, or the Tower of Clérigos, by architect Nicolou Nazoni, which is one of the best examples of the height of the Baroque period. Be sure to also visit the S.Bento Railway Station and the Stock Exchange Palace.
