Porto is well known for its enterprising spirit, characteristic culture, people, and local cuisine. Ribeira, the historic Centre of Porto, has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO (1996).

Rarely is the dichotomy of modern and medieval sensibilities more apparent—skyscrapers tower over earthen houses, and fast cars dart around donkey-drawn carts, as this teeming city of 16 million residents live harmoniously.
