“The launch of our Warsaw-Porto route marks another important step in strengthening LOT’s presence on the Iberian Peninsula. This new connection enables our passengers to experience not only the cultural wealth and breathtaking landscapes of northern Portugal, but also the unique atmosphere of the city itself – from its historic quarters and striking architecture to its proud culinary heritage. Following the successful introduction of our Lisbon service earlier this year, we’d like to give travellers access to yet another remarkable region in the land of great explorers. We invite passengers to join us on yet more unforgettable journeys through Portugal,” said Robert Ludera, Registered Representative and Director of the Network Department at LOT Polish Airlines.
Situated at the mouth of the Douro River, Porto is the second-largest city in Portugal and one of its oldest. Its name derives from the Latin Portus Cale – an ancient settlement that ultimately gave the country its name. The city is also known as A Invicta, meaning ‘The Unconquered’ – a proud title referring to the 19th-century siege during which Porto never surrendered to royalist forces and successfully preserved its independence. The name still appears today on local emblems and promotional slogans. Strategically located on the coast, Porto played a key role in maritime trade for centuries. Today, it stands as a vibrant centre of business and tourism.
Porto charms with its stunning architecture and the vibrant atmosphere of its riverside lanes. The city’s emblem, the double-deck Dom Luís I Bridge, links Porto with Vila Nova de Gaia and offers sweeping views of both the old town and the Douro River. Explore baroque landmarks like the Torre dos Clérigos or the neoclassical Palácio da Bolsa and step back into the grandeur of old Portugal. Don’t miss Livraria Lello – one of the world’s most beautiful bookshops – whose interior inspired J.K. Rowling’s vision of the Harry Potter universe. Then there’s the 19th-century São Bento railway station, where Portugal’s history is told in 20,000 azulejo tiles. Finally, the riverside district of Ribeira, with its colourful houses and welcoming restaurants, paints a picture of a city that leaves a lasting impression on everyone who visits.
