| Second city of Portugal and the home of port wine, Porto (Oporto) is famous for its high-level bridge and its picturesque rabelos (traditional boats for transporting port wine). In reality, however, Porto is a gritty commercial city. The centre of Porto is a jumble so get your bearings by climbing the Torre dos Clérigos. The heart of the old city is the cathedral; below is the Barredo, a vertiginous confusion of shanty houses. Along the riverfront the Cais de Ribeira is an ideal area to eat fresh fish. Other buildings which merit a visit are: the house of Henry the Navigator (Casa do Infante); the Stock Exchange (Pálacio da Bolsa), famous for its Alhambra-inspired Arabian Room; and the lavishly gilded church, the Igreja de São Francisco. The best museum in Porto is the Museu Nacional de Soares dos Reis with its excellent collection of art and sculpture. The port shippers' lodges are on the south bank at Vila Nova de Gaia.
