The town that gave the country (and port wine) its very name, Porto is Portugal’s second-largest metropolis after Lisbon. Sometimes called Oporto, it's an age-old city that has one foot firmly in the industrial present. The old town, centered at Ribeira, was built on the hills overlooking the Douro River, and today is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 14th-century São Francisco church is a main attraction, as are the local port wine cellars, mostly located across the river at Vila Nova de Gaia.

And as ‘friends, friends, business is business'', we offer excellent value for money in all our products, which include the ever attractive and indispensable 'souvenirs'.
We found this port shop following other reviews a few years ago and it was absolutely amazing. This was then a must do on our latest visit. Jorge has a fantastic knowledge of Portuguese wines and port In particularly, he is completely fluent in English. We bought wines during our stay, he made some great recommendations for us to bring home. As we have drunk them all during lockdown we went online to order more to be delivered to the UK. It was fantastically easy. Jorge dispatched them the next day and they were here within the week. We will be using this service again... and again. If you are in Porto we strongly reccomend a visit. If you love port wine these are the people t speak to.

Lago Artes - In the Very Heart of Historical Centre of Porto, Visit the Fine Artist Hugo do Lago Open Art Studio and Gallery. Painting & Watercolour Workshops Available, Original Art Works, Customized Frames and Hopefully a Great Time With Us… See You Very Soon! Silvia & Hugo do Lago
I did the watercolour painting experience with Hugo this morning at his studio Lago Artes and it was one of the best activities I’ve done! Hugo and his wife Silvia are two of the kindest, most welcoming hosts I’ve ever met. The art class was easy to follow and so interesting. I learned a lot about how to use watercolours and enjoyed chatting to Hugo and Silvia through the day. The snacks and drinks were a lovely touch and his studio is beautiful. You MUST visit Lago Artes if you are in Porto - you’ll love it. Even if you aren’t an artist, just being around Hugo and Silvia is enough to enjoy!

Always fresh, always at hand The past is revisited in the new Bom Sucesso Market, through the familiar colors and scents of fruit and vegetables. One can almost hear the market woman's catchy cries. Modern days are still filled with those scents and colors, but the Market has gone a step further by adding new delicacies and flavors. The place invites visitors to find out more about its history and about the road taken until the present day. In here all five senses are awakened. And at the end of a working day, this inviting and sensorial space is ideal for a snack among friends, ideal to share thoughts and dreams, or to revive old memories. Life can be smooth, even with abounding sensations. Matches your smile Bom Sucesso Market is a Babel made of costumes, routines and traits of people that are here, and people that arrive. There are shopping bags, and little gifts to be exchanged, there are offices closing new deals and opening new doors. There are local people enjoying the place, but also foreign faces, with different accents and languages, already so familiar. In between the hotel and the market area there is bustle and pauses punctuated with fleeting smiles and loud guffaws. We love this concept that becomes more meaningful when a smile flowers from a pair of lips, when people cross each other's paths in a place where so many things happen.
My Portuguese friend showed me this place. Here is you can try different types of Portuguese cuisine. And what I love - it is special cocktails - with passion fruit - so good and tasty - only 5 euros.

The strong relationship between the AMI Foundation and Arts resulted in painting and sculptural exhibitions that were held in a number of different cities. A network of cooperation and contacts was created which allowed the development of the regular sale of artistic productions. As a result, part of the profit went towards the financing of the Foundation's humanitarian work.
