Zona antiga de Ponte de Lima

Portugal's oldest chartered town sits on the southern bank of the Lima River, where a medieval bridge gives the place its name. Ponte de Lima's walkable centre combines a dense food-and-drink scene with several historic churches, all set in deep Vinho Verde wine country. The annual Feiras Novas festival, held each September, draws the town together, and UNESCO World Heritage sites lie within reach in the wider region.
