Porto, between blue tiles and cobblestone streets — a day of walking around every nook and cranny

#TravelGuide #Porto ⸻ 🕊 9:00AM | São Bento Station, filled with the scent of azulejo A day in Porto is perfect to start here. São Bento Station The **blue azulejos (tiles)** that fill the entire wall are not just walls, but like a storybook. 📍Tips: • The view of the morning sunlight shining through the glass ceiling and casting shadows on the tiles is the best! • The interior is free to visit, and it's quiet and leisurely for taking pictures. ⸻ 🏰 10:00AM | Classic charm, Clérigos Tower A 5-minute walk from São Bento Station. **Clérigos Tower (Torre dos Clérigos)** is a representative viewpoint where you can look down on the city. • You have to climb 225 steps, but the excitement is worth it. • The moment when the red tile roofs unfold and the Douro River comes into view. An experience that captures Porto at a glance! ⸻ 📚 11:00AM | Lello Bookstore, into the magical staircase There is **Livraria Lello** right next door, so you don't have time to get tired. It is also famous as a space inspired by Harry Potter. • Red curved staircase and stained glass ceiling It is also good for taking a break while quietly turning the pages of a book Admission tickets must be reserved in advance! (5 euros, deducted when purchasing a book) ⸻ 🐟 12:30PM | Lunch is a local set meal or tapas • Adega São Nicolau → Bacalhau (codfish dish), a leisurely meal with wine • Tapabento → Sensational tapas and seafood dishes, atmospheric interior The real charm is eating slowly and leisurely like the people of Porto at lunchtime. ⸻ 🌉 14:00PM | Douro River Walk & Luis I Bridge After eating, if you come down to the river, you can see **Duro River (Rio Douro)** and **Luis I Bridge (Ponte de Dom Luís I)**. • The walkway under the bridge is picturesque • Boats go along the river, and boat tours are available • The top of the bridge is a view spot! Be careful of those with acrophobia 😅 ⸻ 🍷 15:30PM | Gaia District Winery Experience If you cross the bridge and go to **Gaia District (Vila Nova de Gaia)** on the other side, you can tour the cellars of Port wine, the pride of Portugal. • Tours of famous wineries such as Sandeman, Graham’s, and Cálem are available • 30~60 minutes including tasting • Take a sip of red, rich wine in a glass… This is the moment when the trip becomes a lingering memory ⸻ 🧁 17:00PM | End the day at a cafe Porto also has a very charming cafe.
