Lonely Planet, a major travel book publisher, this month released an article with the main reasons why a tourist should visit Porto and Northern Portugal. Describing us as a "region that has its own history, climate, landscapes and traditions", Lonely Planet speaks of cities like Braga and Guimarães as urban epicentres full of culture.
