Northern Portugal
Open the interactive map
With Porto as its capital, the north offers an extremely varied environment where you can enjoy the sea, countryside, or even the mountains with the Serra da Estrela. For tourism, it’s a region where stunning natural landscapes—including the country’s only national park (Peneda-Gerês) and the Douro Valley—meet "treasures" of Portuguese history, such as the cities of Porto and Guimarães, whose urban centers are UNESCO World Heritage sites.
