and

GROUP OF DERMATOLOGIC SURGERY
18th to 22nd September 2002 - Porto - Portugal

 

 

Welcome to Porto!

Porto is one of the oldest cities in Europe and has many and old traditions.

The people from Porto are proud of their city and are known for their hospitality. It is the capital of Porto wine and a main centre of the wine trade, including the famous Douro red and white wines and the unique “vinho verde”. Rich in history reflected in the superb architecture of beautiful baroque churches and buildings. Situated by the river Douro and the Atlantic Ocean it boasts many wonderful sights. Because of its many qualities, the Unesco has nominated Porto a world heritage city.

In 2001 Porto was the European Capital of Culture and much work was done to benefit the city. Don’t miss the Casa de Serralves museum and gardens and enjoy a stroll by the typical “Ribeira” and historical centre. The food in the north of Portugal is famous and many recipes are as old as the city itself.

But Porto is also a modern European safe city. The Congress venue, the “Alfândega” palace has an old exterior but inside offers all the amenities required for a successful meeting.
The live workshops will take place in the Porto Cancer Institute that is supporting this event for which we are most grateful.

We have prepared a Social Programme that we think can leave you, family and friends, with tender memories of Porto and Portugal. From Porto travel is short to Lisbon, to Algarve and to the fabulous islands of Madeira and the Açores.

Bem-vindos ao Porto!
