Douro
This river flowing through northern Portugal empties into the sea at Porto. In recent years, boat excursions from the city have become a tourist "classic", as have its valley and park with their landscapes, castles, churches, and the wine-producing region (a UNESCO World Heritage site) of the Upper Douro.
