A true tribute to Portuguese heritage, this illustration, rich in detail and warm in color, captures the beauty of this World Heritage-listed city.

Located in northwest Portugal, Porto is one of the oldest cities in Europe. Bordered by the Douro River, it is renowned for its historic center, its azulejo-covered facades, its Baroque architecture, and, of course, its famous Port wine, exported worldwide for centuries. Since Roman times, Porto has been a major trading center, and it continues to fascinate travelers with its authenticity and vibrant atmosphere.

At the heart of this postcard sits the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge, a masterpiece of steel engineering inaugurated in 1886. Designed by Belgian engineer Théophile Seyrig, a collaborator of Gustave Eiffel, the bridge connects Porto to the neighboring town of Vila Nova de Gaia, the birthplace of wine cellars. With its two overlapping levels, it is both a breathtaking vantage point over the city and a feat of 19th-century architecture.
