Oporto, Portugal

Brimming with atmosphere, Oporto is a city your camera will adore. From the medieval Ribiera district, snap cask-laden wooden boats and the iron Dom Luis Bridge that spans the River Douro. And capture the city’s exquisite blue and white tiles, especially those that so beautifully grace the exteriors of the Carmo and Capela das Almas churches.
