Norte

Norte – region of ancient vineyards and urban flair

Norte, Portugal’s dynamic northern region, is a blend of rich heritage and modern vibrancy. Porto, its largest city, showcases a stunning riverside charm and a world-famous wine legacy. Beyond urban allure, Norte boasts the historical splendour of Braga and Guimarães, alongside the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley. A lesser-known fact: Norte is home to the oldest demarcated wine region in the world. Diverse landscapes range from rugged coastal stretches to serene mountain ranges. What truly distinguishes Norte is its blend of tradition and innovation; centuries-old traditions stand strong, yet the region pulses with contemporary energy, evident in its flourishing arts scene and gastronomic delights.
