will be held in Porto, Portugal. Porto is the second-largest city in Portugal
after Lisbon and one of the major urban areas of the Iberian Peninsula. Porto
is also called the Invicta because during the 19th century Portuguese civil
war, the city withstood a siege of over a year.The urban area of Porto, which
extends beyond the administrative limits of the city, has a population of 2.1
million in an area of 389 km2 (150 sq mi), making it the second-largest urban
area in Portugal. It is recognized as a gamma- level global city by the
Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) Study Group, the only Portuguese city
besides Lisbon to be recognised as a global city.<span></span></span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif">Located
along the Douro river estuary in Northern Portugal, Porto is one of the oldest
European centres, and its historical core was proclaimed a World Heritage Site
by UNESCO in 1996. The western part of its urban area extends to the coastline
of the Atlantic Ocean. Its settlement dates back many centuries, when it was an
outpost of the Roman Empire. One of Portugal's internationally famous exports,
port wine, is named after Porto, since the metropolitan area, and in particular
the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, were responsible for the packaging, transport
and export of the fortified wine. In 2014 and 2017, Porto was elected The Best
European Destination by the Best European Destinations Agency.<span></span></span></p>
