*About Porto:*
Porto is one of Europe’s oldest tourist destinations. Its wealth of monumental and artistic heritage, Port Wine, open-air leisure spaces, and cultural life are just some of the reasons to visit this city. At any time of the day, 365 days of the year, Porto has a special charm for anyone visiting the city for the first time, as it does for those coming back for a second visit, to discover a city that is simultaneously modern and authentic. In 1996, the historical center of Porto was classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Yours sincerely,
Nuno Mateus-Coelho
iSCSi’21 Organization Chair
