2025 Porto Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 A mysterious little restaurant in Porto, Portugal. When you enter the restaurant, there are stairs leading down, like an ancient path into a secret cellar. The old building made of simple stone has a great atmosphere and serves authentic Portuguese seafood cuisine. Adega Dona Antónia’s signature dish is grilled octopus feet, a dish that is also very common in Spain and is a classic Mediterranean dish. The oversized octopus feet are grilled with a crispy skin and tender meat that melts in your mouth. It is very delicious! The garlic prawns and seafood are both delicious, the staff are very enthusiastic, the food is delicious, and the service is friendly. It is really a treasure shop in the alley and must be included in the pocket list of return visits. Adega Dona Antónia 🕰️Business hours: 1400-1645, 1800-2200 📍Address: R. dos Mercadores 15, 4050-373 Porto, Portugal #PortugalTravel #PortugalFood

#AustraliaFlightEvent Porto Azulejo is famous for its beauty. That's why there were so many azulejo tiles all over the buildings🩵 I'll introduce you to two of the most beautiful azulejo points that I visited many times during my month-long stay in Porto! 📍(Photo 1-4) Carmo Cathedral / R. do Carmo, 4050-164 Porto, Portugal Carmo Cathedral, which I felt had the most beautiful exterior among the cathedrals in Porto! The cathedral was really big and magnificent. It was a cathedral I visited several times during my trip. I was able to take pretty pictures in front of the side azulejo✨ The admission fee was 5 euros, so it was cheap:) 📍(Photo 5-6) São Bento Train Station São Bento Train Station is considered one of the most beautiful train stations in the world. If you're a tourist to Porto, this is a place you must visit. There are so many people that it can be called the center of Porto. The exterior is beautiful, but the interior azulejos are especially beautiful:) #TravelPlan #OverseasTravel #EuropeTravel #Portugal #Porto #PortoRecommendation #PortoTravel #europetrip #portugal #porto

It was a trip to Porto, Portugal 🇵🇹 Porto is a vibrant and picturesque city known for its stunning riverside views, colorful buildings, and rich history 🙌 We kicked off our Porto adventure with an early morning ☀️ stroll through Ribeira, the historic district by the Douro River. The soft morning light ✨ made the colorful buildings along the riverbank glow, and the calm waters of the river reflected the historic architecture. We spent time walking along the cobbled streets, capturing the narrow alleys and vibrant facades. It’s an unmissable spot to start your day, especially for those looking to capture Porto’s authentic charm 🙌 📍Ribeira, Porto, Portugal After exploring Ribeira, we crossed the famous Dom Luís I Bridge 😍 to the Vila Nova de Gaia side of the river. The bridge, with its iconic double decker structure, offers some of the best panoramic views of Porto, especially in the late morning light ✨ when the city is bathed in warm tones. From the top deck, we snapped some stunning photos 📸 of Porto’s skyline, including the colorful buildings and the river winding through the city 💯 📍Ponte Dom Luís I, 4000 Porto, Portugal We also visited Jardim do Morro, a lovely park on the Vila Nova de Gaia side of the river. From here, we caught a breathtaking view of Porto’s historic center with the Dom Luís I Bridge in the foreground 🙌The early morning light ✨ was perfect for capturing the sweeping views of the city, and the park itself was peaceful and quiet at sunrise 🌅 This is an ideal spot for wide-angle shots of Porto, especially as the city comes to life 😍 📍Jardim do Morro, 4400-111 Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal After a picturesque morning ☀️ we headed to Livraria Lello, one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world 📖 The ornate staircase, stained-glass windows🪟and wood-paneled walls create a stunning atmosphere, perfect for capturing the charm of this historic bookstore. The afternoon light ✨ streaming through the windows added a magical glow to the space, making it an ideal time for photos 📸 For those with an interest in architecture and design, Livraria Lello is an absolute must-see 🙌 📍Rua das Carmelitas 144, 4050-161 Porto, Portugal Porto is a city that offers an endless array of beautiful spots for photography 📸 from its iconic bridges to its historic buildings and stunning coastal views 🙌🙌🙌 #europetrip #Vacation #travel

Dubbed the world's most beautiful McDonald's, several cities in Europe boast such a title. This time, we visit the McDonald's located in Liberty Square, Porto, Portugal. Housed in a classical-style building that once served as the Imperial Café, McDonald's has inherited the original elegant style with stained glass, Roman columns, crystal chandeliers, and marble tiles, making it exceptionally elegant and luxurious. The eagle sculpture on the exterior facade is quite striking, standing guard at the entrance and surveying the surroundings. This McDonald's in Porto is situated next to the bustling City Hall Liberty Square, so it attracts a lot of people, mostly crowding the first floor and outdoor seating. However, the basement also offers a spacious dining area with fewer people. As for the menu, it's quite similar to other locations. The classic Big Mac is priced at €4.95, approximately 170 New Taiwan Dollars, which is considered affordable in Europe. Additionally, with any purchase, you receive a restroom code, allowing you to use the basement restroom for free.

Finally, in Porto, we got to try the legendary Portuguese 'soggy sandwich' Francesinha. This dish, introduced by French immigrants and later modified in Portugal, layers toast, ham, meat sauce, and cheese, topped with fries and drenched in a special sauce, resulting in a soggy, calorie-laden sandwich. Many restaurants in Porto's riverside area offer this dish, and we chose a specialty shop 'Rocinha - Porto'. The menu is plastered all over the wall at the entrance, and the prices are quite affordable. When the Francesinha was served, it was a visual shock. This sandwich is outrageous! Soggy and greasy, completely soaked in sauce, it looked so sinful. Cutting into it revealed layers of ham and meat patties, no wonder it's so substantial. It takes two people to finish it. As for the taste, it's not suited to Taiwanese palates. The sauce is too rich, and the cheese and other fillings are too heavy, making it hard to eat more than a few bites. It seems more suited for photos than for eating. Nonetheless, it was an achievement to unlock a local Portuguese delicacy.

🇵🇹I thought Lisbon was beautiful enough until I came to Porto… The Lights of the Douro | Porto, Portugal Sunset falls into the Douro River Ripples are broken gold Someone is walking on the bridge The shadow reached the other side before him. The red roof lies in the wind Dreaming of the bells of the old days Half of the city's nightscape remains in the glass The nights in Porto never get too old Unless a drunk person Forgot where I came from ~Porto, Portugal~ If Lisbon is an elegant lady, Porto is like a poet who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, quietly gazing at the ever-flowing Douro River and telling his own story. Porto, also known as Oporto, is the second largest city in Portugal, with a history dating back to the 4th century BC. The Romans established an important trading port here, and "Portus Cale" is the origin of the name of Portugal. Porto's wine culture is well-known. Since the 17th century, Port Wine has become a world-renowned sweet fortified wine. The city is also known for its Baroque architecture and colorful tiles (Azulejos). If you want to take some nice photos, you must go for a walk along the Douro River. Strolling along the shore, the old town with red tiles and yellow walls is built against the mountain, with a staggered layout, like a fairy tale world. The ancient iron bridge spans the two banks, and the traditional wooden boats (Rabelo) on the river carry the historical memory of Porto wine. Spanning the two banks is the Ponte Luís I Bridge. Standing on this double-deck iron bridge designed by Eiffel's disciples in 1886, you can see the historic Old Town of Porto on one side and Vila Nova de Gaia on the other. The two face each other across the river, forming a unique urban landscape. In addition to the scenery of the Douro River, the following historical and cultural attractions in Porto are also worth visiting: 📍Porto Cathedral (Sé do Porto): One of the oldest buildings in Porto, it combines Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque styles. Standing on the church square, you can overlook the entire city. 📍Livraria Lello: Known as one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world, the red spiral staircase and Gothic decorations make people feel like they have walked into the magical world of "Harry Potter". 📍São Bento Railway Station (Estação de São Bento): This railway station, which uses more than 20,000 blue and white tiles to collage Portuguese historical scenes, is one of Porto's most representative artistic landmarks. 📍Torre dos Clérigos Church and Bell Tower: A landmark building in Porto. Climbing the 76-meter-high bell tower, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire city.

Porto is an ancient and charming city located in northern Portugal, nestled in the gentle embrace of the Atlantic Ocean. Like a pearl lost in the river of time, it exudes a unique historical charm and romantic atmosphere. Porto is located at the mouth of the Douro River, a winding river like a lively ribbon that runs through the city, dividing it in two. On the hillsides of the east bank, the ancient city stands quietly, with traces of time silently settling on every stone slab and wall. The old city stands high on the cliffs, facing the new city of Gaia across the river. One is old, the other is new; one is still, the other is dynamic. It seems to tell the past and present of the city, allowing you to travel through a thousand years of time at a glance. Stepping into the old town is like stepping into a historical maze. Every street here is like a piece of frozen history, winding and undulating. The stone roads underfoot are polished smooth by time, and every step allows you to feel the weight of history. The architectural styles along the streets vary, with Baroque, Gothic, and Neoclassical styles blending wonderfully here. Exquisite carvings and ancient doors and windows all tell of past glories. The church bells ring softly, echoing history, resonating in every corner of the city, calming the soul. As a World Heritage Site, the old town not only has architectural treasures but also the smoke and fire of life. The small shops along the street are filled with various unique handicrafts and delicious port wine. Port wine is the soul of Porto. It ferments and matures in oak barrels, just like this city settles and sublimates over time. Walk into a small tavern, order a glass of port wine, sit by the window, watch the bustling crowd and ancient buildings outside, and feel the simple yet colorful charm of this city. Before you know it, you will be intoxicated. As night falls, the banks of the Douro River are brightly lit. On the river, boats sail slowly, creating layers of golden ripples. The lights of the new city of Gaia on the opposite bank are reflected in the river, complementing the lights of the old city, creating a dreamlike scene. At this time, Porto sheds the hustle and bustle of the day, revealing a tranquil and mysterious beauty. Standing by the river, the sea breeze gently brushes your cheeks, carrying the breath of the Atlantic Ocean, as if telling the ancient stories of this city. Porto, a city favored by time, weaves a charming web with its historical weight, exquisite architecture, mellow wine, and Atlantic sea breeze, making everyone who comes here involuntarily intoxicated and unwilling to wake up.

#December Travel Support Event 💙Summary of living in Porto for a month💙 🚦Porto Transportation The metro, tram, bus, and train are easy to use, so it's convenient to go anywhere. You can get to the airport for just 2 euros and 30 minutes! Main transportation: Andante Card, Siga Card (for CP trains only) However, I mostly walked around the city. The Porto Old Town is especially small, so it was good to walk around. Even if you go a little out of town, it's only 2 euros by bus..! 🏠Porto Accommodation It seems that many people stay long-term on Airbnb for a month. As of March 2022, it was about 1.1 million won! I stayed in a studio-type accommodation for a month, and the location is good for going anywhere if you stay near São Bento Station. 🤑Porto Cost of Living It seems cheaper than Spain. Eating out costs about 20 euros per meal on average?! (Not expensive restaurants, but be aware of individual differences) Groceries are very cheap, so if you live for a month, you can save money on food by cooking at home🫶🏽 In particular, meat and vegetables were really cheap. I made steak at home several times. You can buy wine sold at the supermarket for 1-2 euros if it's cheap. 🏙️Suburbs of Porto If you only stay in Porto, you might feel like it's too long, so I recommend visiting nearby suburban cities! There are many great cities in Portugal, such as Braga, Guimarães, Aveiro, Costa Nova, and Coimbra. Among them, I have a really good memory when I traveled to a border town called Valença🫶🏽 You may feel that living in a foreign country for a month is difficult,,, but honestly living in Porto for a month is not difficult🇵🇹💙 #Porto #Portugal #PortoTravel #LivingInPortoForAMonth #PortoRecommendation #LivingForAMonth #InPorto #EuropeTravel #Europe

Dubbed the most beautiful train station in Europe, the walls are adorned with blue and white painted tiles, made up of 20,000 tiles. It is truly spectacular and lifelike, resembling an art gallery. This stunning station is located in Porto and is a must-visit and popular check-in spot for tourists. São Bento Station has been around for a century, with its stone walls looking magnificent yet showing signs of age. As soon as you step into the station hall, you are struck by the giant murals made of blue and white tiles on all four walls, complemented by arched glass windows. It is simply breathtaking! Each mural on the walls tells a historical story. If you take a closer look and appreciate them, it feels like traveling back in time to the era of the Kingdom of Portugal. Walking onto the platform and seeing the modern-style trains, it feels like you've traveled back to the present day. It is truly worth a visit.

#2024Travel Review Porto, a Portuguese city full of rich culture and history, is a destination that every traveler must not miss. I arranged the itinerary for the second day a little more loosely, mainly based on the concept of walking around the streets and visiting some scenic spots along the way. / Two-day leisure travel route / Day2: Breakfast: Conga Pork Chop Buns > Lero Bookstore > Carmelitas Church > Shopping R. das Carmelitas > Lunch: Do Norte Café by Hungry Biker > Clérigos Church > Shopping R. das Flores > Stock Exchange Palace > Dinner: Pedro dos Frangos roast chicken The next morning we started with traditional snacks. Since we lived near the Aliados subway station, we chose pork chop buns from the famous restaurant #Conga for breakfast to experience the daily taste of Puerto Ricans. After enjoying the meal, the first stop was the super popular Livraria Lello bookstore, which is famous for its gorgeous wood-carved stairs and stained glass skylights. Although there were so many visitors that I didn’t know what I was looking at~ But the stairs The design is still worth a visit! (Remember to reserve an admission time online first!) Then, walk to #Carmo Church (Igreja do Carmo). The exterior wall is covered with exquisite blue and white tiles. It is a model of Baroque architecture and is also easy to take photos. After visiting the church, go shopping along R. das Carmelitas, which is full of unique shops. This is the right place to buy handicrafts and souvenirs! I randomly chose a roadside shop for lunch, and it was surprisingly delicious. Sure enough, there are delicious surprises everywhere in Bodo! After eating, stroll through R. das Flores (Flower Street). Although the street is not long, it is full of various specialty shops, where you can continue to buy souvenirs and gifts. The highlight of the afternoon was the #Palácio da Bolsa (Palácio da Bolsa). This 19th-century building is famous for its magnificent interior design, especially the ornate decoration of the Moorish Golden Hall, which is truly stunning. Visitors need to reserve a guided tour in advance, and commentary in English and other foreign languages ​​is currently available. Although the visit is not long, the exquisite interior decoration is definitely worth a look! A day trip must end with a delicious local meal. This time, we chose Pedro dos Frangos to taste Puerto’s famous grilled chicken dish. Different from the juicy roasted chicken in Asia, the roasted chicken here is dry in texture ~ but the skin is golden and crispy, and paired with a special sauce, it is simple but unforgettable, and it is the perfect end to a day's journey. #Porto #Porto #Portuguese food #Porto grilled chicken #PedroDosFrangos #Porto must eat #European travel #Travel food #Roasted chicken control #Porto attractions recommendation #Porto itinerary #RDasFlores #PalácioDaBolsa #Pododaily #Porto check-in attractions #Travel inspiration

#2024TravelReview I have been to Europe many times, and I always recommend my friends to visit Portugal, which is really a beautiful country with good quality and low price. This time I want to recommend #Porto, the second largest city in Portugal. This charming port city with both history and modernity is neither too big nor too small. If you like in-depth travel, you can slow down and walk and play slowly. If you want to concentrate on experiencing this city quickly, then remember to save this article first. / Two-day walking route / 🟣Day1: Breakfast: Majestic Café > Armas Church > Central Market Mercado do Bolhão > Shopping at R. de Passos Manuel > Lunch: Café Santiago > Church of San Ildefonso > Porto São Bento Station > Dom Luís I Bridge > Porto Cathedral > Caves Cálem Winery > Dinner: Restaurante Cantina 32 If you come to Porto, why not start your day at Majestic Café! This cafe is located in the city center and is recommended by many people as a must-visit place. Not only does it have a retro vibe, but it also has super delicious coffee. However, because it is so popular, it is recommended to go early, otherwise you may have to wait in line for a long time! Afterwards, you can walk to the Iglesia de Armas. The most special feature of this church is the blue and white tiles on the exterior wall, which depict the faith stories and history of Portugal. It is worth taking some time to appreciate it slowly. After leaving the church, don’t miss the nearby central market, Mercado do Bolhão, which has a strong local flavor and sells fresh agricultural products and traditional snacks. It feels like you are part of the daily life of the Bolhão people. R. de Passos Manuel, this street has many specialty shops and fashion brands, it is super fun to go shopping! By taking a walk like this, you can not only experience the culture of Porto, but also satisfy your appetite for food, drink and fun, making your day very fulfilling! For lunch, we went to Café Santiago, a must-try place. It is famous for its classic #Francesinha (a special sandwich made in Porto). The rich sauce and rich layers are mouth-watering. Although simple, it is really delicious! After lunch, we continued our tour. #SantoIldefonsoChurch and Porto São Bento Station are both highly recommended itineraries. The murals in Porto São Bento Station are also art landmarks that cannot be missed. Then you can walk slowly all the way to the Porto Cathedral (Sé do Porto) and feel the solemn atmosphere of this ancient church. After leaving the church, cross the Douro River along the Dom Luís I Bridge, which truly combines the beauty of architecture and landscape. Standing on the bridge, you can overlook the magnificent view of the Douro River, and you can also see Ribeira Square and the old town of Porto. This section of the road is especially suitable for walking and taking pictures. To end the day, book a guided tour of the Caves Cálem winery in the evening. During the visit, you can get an in-depth understanding of the port wine brewing process. After the tour, there is also a Fado performance to enjoy. It is really a super enjoyable time to taste port wine while listening to music. If you’re still feeling a little hungry at this point, head to Restaurante Cantina 32! The grilled octopus at this restaurant is huge in portion and delicious, making it the perfect end to the day!

#2024TravelReview #莱罗书店 Livraria Lello, a famous attraction that you cannot miss when visiting Porto. It is said that JK Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, once wrote here, and the scenes in the book that are like a magical world are also the source of inspiration for Livraria Lello. You can see how beautiful this place is! The exterior of Livraria Lello is a standard Gothic building, but the most amazing thing about its interior is the intricately carved double-spiral wooden staircase, which looks like a magical scene from a movie, with an unreal beauty that is so dreamy. After Harry Potter became a hit, the number of visitors to Livraria Lello also skyrocketed, attracting large numbers of people every day to make the pilgrimage and walk between the antique wooden bookcases. The strong artistic atmosphere is both classical and nostalgic, yet incredibly magical. However, due to the surge in the number of visitors, the original free admission has been changed to ticket purchase for entry, and the ticket price has also increased from €3 to €8, but it still cannot stop the queues of people. Fortunately, there are now time-limited entry controls to avoid ruining the quality of the visit. #SouthernEuropeTravel #PortugalTravel #Porto #HarryPotter #LivrariaLello #JKLorraine #porto

#2024Travel Review The beautiful southern Europe, close to the Mediterranean, with warm sunshine and affordable prices, has always been the first choice for Europeans and Americans to go on vacation, especially Spain, Portugal and Spain, which have recently become popular recommended itineraries for Asians to travel in depth in Europe. This trip to Spain specifically went to Porto, a large city in central Portugal, a beautiful river port city. The Douro River and the Dom Luís I Bridge are the most famous attractions in Porto. This winding Douro River flows through the vineyards in central Portugal and is also the main route for transporting oak barrels of red wine. Therefore, you can take pictures of boats and wine barrels on the river. Together with the huge iron bridge and the houses built along the hillside in the old town, it is really a classic southern European painting! The Louis I Iron Bridge has two floors, the lower floor is for cars, while pedestrians and trams go on the upper floor. Pedestrians walk on both sides, and there are tracks in the middle. Due to the large height difference between the bridge deck and the river bank, you can overlook Porto's charming river view when walking on the bridge, which is even more romantic at night! The Douro River runs through the city of Porto. On one side is the old town of Ribeira, which is listed as a World Cultural Heritage by the United Nations and has a cog railway train. On the other side is the new town of Gaia, which is lined with wineries and has a cable car. There are also many markets on holidays, which is perfect for a leisurely walk. #SouthernEuropeFreeTravel #PortugalTravel #Porto #DuroRiver #LuisIronBridge

I happened to pass by Do Norte Café while walking and immediately decided to try this restaurant instead. Located near the Parsonage Tower in the center of Porto, this place is like a hidden treasure shop, with a charming and cozy atmosphere in a low-key manner. The interior of the store is decorated in wooden simplicity with a sense of warmth, and the sunlight fills the entire space through the large windows - it's so beautiful. The menu is full of choices, and everything is delicious. Their coffee is also highly recommended. It is very rich and fragrant. I like it very much. And I must say that the best thing about visiting Portugal is that the prices are so cheap~ The breakfast plate you ordered also comes with a cup of latte, which can be eaten by two people. The price is only 30.2 euros. The business hours of this store are from 8:30 am to 4 pm every day. Because the locals also love this store, it is recommended to be an early bird and get a seat! When you come to Bodo, remember to walk into this cafe and feel the enthusiasm of the locals and the charm of Bodo’s food! 🔰 Brunch Traditional €15.95 🔰 Waffle Salgado €10.95 🔰 Ice Latte Caramel €3.3 ////////////////////////// Store information///////////////////////// //// ✅ Do Norte Café by Hungry Biker @do_nortecafe 📍 Address: Rua do Almada 57/59 4000, 4050-036 Porto, Portugal ⏰Business hours: 08:30am - 16:00pm #Porto Food #DoNorteCafe #Porto Brunch #Brunch Recommendation #Portugal Travel #Portugal Must Eat #Porto Check-in Attractions #Travel Daily #porto #portugaltravel

#Memories of a trip abroad The city of Porto in Portugal is a World Heritage Site, so the scenery is outstanding. The area around São Bento Station has many tourist attractions in the north area. From there, you can cross the Dom Luís I Bridge to reach the south area, which is a spectacular area with a view of the entire city of Porto. The view from the bridge, to the riverside is spectacular. After enjoying a walk around the north side of the city, be sure to cross the Dom Luís Bridge to see the spectacular view! There is a terrace cafe along the river where you can enjoy a meal while looking at the spectacular view. I did not use a gondola or a boat, but walked around the whole area. The Dom Luís I Bridge is a very long bridge. But the view is spectacular the whole time you walk across it, so you won't get tired♪ 📍Location: Dom Luís I BridgeAddress: Ponte Luís I, Porto, Portugal 💰Price per person: Free #Porto #Portugal #World Heritage Site #100 Travel Styles

#Indoor Activities There are many attractions in Porto. The old town is not big. You can spend a day or two to explore it slowly and appreciate every corner of it. For me, no matter which European city I go to, I must go to the local market to experience the purest culture and food. One of the attractions not to be missed in Porto is the century-old neoclassical building - Mercado do Bolhão traditional market. Mercado do Bolhão is not only the largest market in Porto, it is also a testament to the city’s transformation over the years. Although the renovated market has lost some of the warmth and retro feel of a traditional market, it has gained a touch of modern comfort and cleanliness. When you walk into the market, you will find that its design is simple and practical: in the two-story layout, the central area of ​​the first floor is a lively vendor area selling fresh ingredients and local specialties, while on both sides there are stalls selling various ready-made foods. Although the renovated Mercado do Bolhão lacks some of the quaintness of a traditional market, the clean and bright environment makes people feel relaxed without having to worry about crowds or not being able to find the products they want. This is an experience different from other markets, modern yet still unique to Porto. If you have the opportunity to visit this city, remember to spend a morning or afternoon here, buy a glass of local wine, pair it with some freshly made snacks, and quietly feel the pulse of this city and its thousands of years of history. Mercado do Bolhão is undoubtedly a pleasant and rich experience, where one can not only taste the food but also appreciate the charm and warmth of Porto. //////////////////////////// Store information //////////////////////////// ✅ Mercado do Bolhão 📍 Address: R.

#One-day tour in the city I chose Porto as the first stop of my trip to Portugal. I originally came to the Douro Valley, which is rich in red wine. I didn't expect to accidentally unlock the city of Porto. This beautiful city with blue and white tile buildings everywhere left a deep impression on me. Walking in the city, you can often see various blue and white tile buildings, including the famous Church of the Holy Spirit⛪️. You can walk in and see exquisite carvings and beautiful things. You can really get a glimpse of the glory of the Portuguese Empire during its heyday. It's really beautiful. If you are tired, you can find a cafe to rest and then continue walking in the city. Also, you must not miss the "São Bento Station" in Porto. This ancient station with a history of more than 100 years is a transportation hub in northern Portugal. There are a large number of trains every day. Even if you don't take the bus to see the exquisite and elegant tile murals inside, you can stand here for half an hour. It is very worthwhile👍 #100 ways to travel #Church of the Holy Spirit #São Bento Station #Porto attractions #Portugal travel

The Saint Francis Church is one of the most famous religious landmarks in the historic centre of Porto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is renowned for blending a variety of architectural styles, most notably Gothic and Baroque. The museum is located in the adjoining spaces of the former Franciscan convent. It offers a historical perspective on the Franciscan Order and its role in Porto. It features a range of artifacts, from religious sculptures and paintings to more secular items related to the history of the church and convent. One of the most unique features of the museum is access to the catacombs, where the graves of Franciscan friars and other prominent figures are located. It’s a somewhat eerie but fascinating visit. #churches #100WaysOfTravel #europetrip #europe #porto #portugal #church #europe #tripblazers #unesco #chapel #historic #baroque #gothic

During my stay in Porto, I loved exploring the city on foot. Key landmarks like the Dom Luís I Bridge and Porto Cathedral are easily accessible and offer stunning views of the Douro River. Walking through the narrow streets, I admired the medieval architecture, colorful buildings, and azulejos on many facades. Avenida Vimara Peres was particularly charming, lined with beautiful architecture and local shops that reflect Porto’s rich history and culture. #traveldiaries #100waysoftravel

Porto is not only the second largest city and port in Portugal, but it is also the origin of the country's name! The entire old town is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and many travelers find it even more charming than Lisbon. The Dom Luís I Bridge, completed in 1886, connects Porto to Vila Nova de Gaia. This iron arch bridge is both for vehicles and pedestrians and was named in honor of King Luís I of Portugal. On the Douro River, you'll see many flat-bottomed boats with winery logos, which are more for decoration than for actually transporting port wine. There are many attractions to visit; on your first trip, you can see the main sights, and on your second visit, you can take your time and stroll leisurely.

Portugal. Porto | CONGA – Casa das Bifana It was already evening when we arrived in Porto. We were hungry and instinctively wanted to eat #PorkChopBun~~~~ CONGA – Casa das Bifanas is one of the most popular and classic restaurants in Porto. It specializes in the traditional Portuguese pork sandwich, “Bifana PorkChopBun”. As soon as you step into CONGA, the aroma of pork sauce hits your nose. They specially select thinly sliced ​​pork, slow-cooked it in spices and spicy sauce until the meat is well-flavored, and then sandwiched into toasted crispy bread. The moment you bite it, it’s full of meaty aroma. I thought it would have a dry and woody texture, but it’s surprisingly easy to eat. In addition to pork chop buns, other traditional Portuguese snacks are also available, which are a perfect match with crispy fries and cold beer. The decoration inside the store is simple and unpretentious, retaining the traditional style of a Portuguese tavern. It is not overly decorated, but warm and lively. Dining here is like walking into the daily life of the locals and feeling the simple and unpretentious comfort. If you want to experience the real Portuguese taste and want to integrate into the authentic life of Porto, CONGA – Casa das Bifanas is definitely a food place not to be missed! #PortoFood #PortugueseSnacks #Bifana #CONGA #Must-eatPortugal #FoodTravel #Porto #Porto #StreetFood #PortoRestaurant #Porto

#EuropeTravel My visit to Porto was a wonderful experience full of magic and beauty. The city is famous for its historical beauty with narrow streets and colorful buildings along the Douro River. I enjoyed learning about how Porto wine is made, tasting different varieties, and visiting wineries. The experience was fun and informative. I also walked around the old districts such as the Ribeira area, which is very lively and vibrant. The local food, especially the seafood and traditional dishes, was delicious. I recommend everyone to visit Porto and enjoy its beauty and unique culture. It is a destination worth discovering! 🍷🏞️

Porto celebrates Sâo Joâo for a week every year, but especially on the evening of the 23rd which is absolutely amazing. There were concerts and people dancing everywhere, everyone had plastic hammers and were hitting strangers passing by, it was a party everywhere! One of the most anticipated moments of the day was undoubtedly at midnight, after everyone had tried to walk across the bridge (roads were all closed), we were lucky enough to get the best view of the fireworks over the Douro River. The bridge was the focal point of the Sâo Joâo firework celebrations, which was the highlight of our trip. Fireworks are launched from boats in the river, creating a stunning fireworks display, with colorful and loud fireworks rising into the sky and reflected in the river, lighting up the town, accompanied by music from a captivating multimedia show. , enchanting all spectators and immersing themselves in the city's Sâo Joâo celebrations. #fireworksfestival #portugal #porto #fireworksdisplay #douroriver #riversidegardens
