Located at the mouth of the Douro River, the port of Leixoes lies less than 10 kilometres from Porto. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the historic centre of Porto is worth a visit for its famous Ribeira district, the metallic silhouette of the Dom Luis Bridge looming over its ancient houses, richly decorated Baroque churches, and Soares dos Reis National Museum.
