In the north, Porto is the city that stands out as the place to live and work. Chosen several times as the best tourist destination in Europe, Porto is renowned for its beauty, landscapes, cuisine and lively nightlife.

The home of Port, it is one of the best Portuguese cities to do business in, standing out from other Portuguese cities for its economic, social, and touristic performance. Some of its greatest charms are its many landmarks, such as the D. Luís Bridge, Ribeira, Serra do Pilar Monastery, Douro River, São Bento train station, the Cathedral, the Clérigos Tower.

Sampling a typical Francesinha is also a must.

Also in the North, Braga is one of the Portuguese cities in which many foreigners choose to settle. More peaceful than the major cities, Braga boasts charming architectural beauty and provides its inhabitants with an unrivalled quality of life, while remaining modern, thanks, in large part, to the hordes of Portuguese and Erasmus students who choose to do their degrees in the city.
