Pottering Around Porto

With its simple yet striking aesthetic, Porto is the perfect walking city to visit when looking for a short and relaxing break from a busy working life. We stayed at the top of the city and meandered our way down to the river each day passing through back alleys and main streets full of vibrant bars and restaurants also boasting a range of retail stores. I would also definitely recommend the port tasting experience. The city was beautiful, the prices were good and it was not far to the beach. The thing that blew me away most was the price of the taxis/Ubers, costing us only around €7.50 for a half an hour taxi ride or just a few euros for a 10 minute ride, this meant we could see the whole city inexpensively and encouraged us to go farther afoot which was great! #travel #porto #portowine

Visiting Porto was magical 🗺️

Luís I Bridge

Porto has surely gained a lot of attention over the last few years, and for good reasons: it’s vibrant, colorful, easy, not expensive at all and you can get everywhere on foot! As soon as I stepped out of the São Bento station right before sunset I was invested by the energy of this city and started exploring every part of it, starting from the Dom Luis I bridge over the Douro river, which is definitely the first stop I suggest to have a fantastic view of Porto and its prominent Ribeira district. What I loved the most was wandering through its steep, colorful alleys that are still incredibly authentic and mostly untouched. Put in some good, comfortable shoes then get lost in this part of the city. At the top of the city there are some incredible churches, like Igreja do Carmo and Capela das almas: these two have some amazing facades entirely covered by tens of thousands of blue tiles called “azulejos”. You can see these azulejos across the city in other spots too, including the station as mentioned earlier of São Bento. A 15-minute bus or train ride will get you to the beach to breath in some air from the Atlantic Ocean. You can either go to the lighthouse at Foz do Douro or head over to Senhor da Pedra’s beach, notable for its small church on the rocks! A visit to Porto (and Portugal in general) is not complete without eating a lot of pasteis de nata as well. They sell these yummy pastries everywhere, but some places are better than others: don’t miss those at Mantegaira and Combi cafè! #portugal #porto #ribeira #azulejos #travel #awesomepic
