On the downside, here and in other parts of the city centre stand many dilapidated early-20th-century townhouses, left to crumble as the young and moneyed flee to the sprawling suburbs by the sea. Yet despite signs of decay, in the last two decades, Porto has undergone a remarkable renaissance \u2013 expressed in the hum of its efficient metro system and the gleam of \u00c1lvaro Siza Vieira\u2019s Museu de Arte Contempor\u00e2nea and Rem Koolhaas\u2019 Casa da M\u00fasica.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Culturally, Porto is more relevant than much larger global cities. The birthplace of port, it\u2019s a long-running mecca for wine aficionados. Riverside wine caves jockey for attention in nearby Vila Nova de Gaia, with scores of cellars open for tastings. With tasty new kitchens springing up regularly, its palate is slowly growing more cosmopolitan. And thanks to a number of superb venues, Porto residents dance to many of the world\u2019s top rock, jazz, and electronic artists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is a highly atmospheric place that has become known for its monuments by renowned architects (Gustave Eiffel\u2019s Dona Maria Bridge, Nicolau Nasoni\u2019s Clerigos Tower, or Siza Vieira\u2019s Serralves Museum).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Porto is a fascinating and vibrant city that is rapidly becoming one of Western Europe\u2019s most respected tourist destinations, and that\u2019s one of the reasons that this is the city chosen to host END 2024!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25689\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/inpact-psychologyconference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/train-2725291_1280-1024x682.jpg?resize=500%2C333&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><span style=\"color: #999999;\">Image by elrutitas from Pixabay<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>END 2024 will take place in Porto,\u00a0the\u00a0second-largest metropolis\u00a0of PORTUGAL\u00a0and one of Europe\u2019s most charismatic cities.
