私人汽车接送从 Sintra 到 波尔图

The starting point of your Portuguese adventure begins beneath the soaring peaks of Sintra Natural Reserve. The winds blowing from the Atlantic Ocean will propel you from the multicolored buildings to the unspoiled vistas of the nation's heartlands. The mix of rustic farmyards, whitewashed villages, and rugged rolling hills in the distance paints a new postcard image every mile you venture. The further you drive, the denser the lush foliage becomes. A stop at the bright walls of Coimbra allows you to sample the region's famous cuisine, characterized by suckling pigs and fresh shellfish, and recharge for the final leg of the journey. With the glimmering Atlantic waters on your left and the free-flowing hills to your right, the E1 highway will guide you straight to the Portos Luis I Bridge, serving as the finish line of the epic voyage. You can exit the station and order a taxi to your hotel or opt for Daytrip and continue to your accommodation, where you'll depart ready for exploration!

### The establishment of Porto Celtic tribes founded Porto, naming the region Portus Cale. However, the Romans were the first to grow the settlement into a town after their invasion in 138 BC. The city established its connection with the sea during this period when the empire created a trading hub for ships along the Douro River and eventually to the Atlantic Ocean. ### Port Wine Port Wine is world-renowned and vital to Porto's growth in the Middle Ages. Although experts produce this delicacy in the nearby Douro Valley, workers could only ship it along the waterways to Porto for centuries, where its cellars would store the wine. In 1703, the Methuen Treaty with Britain strengthened its popularity and led to a demand for wealthy aristocrats throughout Europe. ### Modern Porto Today, Porto's entire old town is a UNESCO-listed landmark. Colorful and picturesque yet rustic and historic, the winding lanes and cobbled footpaths provide cliched scenes of European postcards. The atmosphere is as intoxicating as the famous Port wine served at the alfresco terraces before being consumed under the sun's golden glow. The narrow lanes and the frescoed squares are undoubtedly the highlights of Porto. But the city also has a grandness to it. Its thriving museum scene complements the elegant baroque architecture littered throughout town. And the riverside beauty is worthy of being the final scene of any romantic Hollywood film.
