#2024mapped Lisbon is the most famous city in Portugal, but Porto is another city that should not be missed. I also visited Porto by bus from Lisbon.🚌 Porto, the second largest city in Portugal, has been selected as a World Heritage Site as the "Historic Centre of Porto," and is a fun city to walk around. The first photo is Igreja do Carmo (Carmo Church). It is decorated with one of the largest and most beautiful azulejos in the country! I personally liked Porto better than Lisbon because of its relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely go back again! 🏖️BAmbiance/Facilities: Porto, Portugal 📍Address: Porto, Portugal 💞Reasons to Recommend: Spectacular views ⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ #trip #travel #traveling #ポルトガル #portugal #porto

As a train enthusiast, I couldn’t miss the chance to experience the historic Tram Line 1 during my visit to Porto. This line is one of the few operational historic tram lines in the city, dating back to the late 19th century. It offers a nostalgic journey along the Douro River aboard a vintage tram, connecting the city center to the Foz do Douro area, where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean. Route: 🌟 Starting Point: Infante (near the Church of Saint Francis in Ribeira) 🌟 Ending Point: Passeio Alegre (in Foz do Douro, near the mouth of the Douro River) Tram Line 1 typically operates daily, with trams running every 20–30 minutes. Tickets can be purchased directly from the driver or by using an Andante card, a rechargeable card for public transportation in Porto. A one-way ticket costs €6 per person.

#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

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

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

I always make it a point to visit one of the McDonald's branches in every city or country that I visit. If you are a fan of the fast food chain like me and plan to visit Porto, you should check out this particular McDonald's branch in the heart of Porto which is often said to be the most beautiful McDonald's in the world. Opened in 1995, the restaurant is housed in a historical building from the 1930s used to be known as the Imperial Cafe. I stopped by the restaurant for some dessert and was greeted by a giant bronze eagle sculpture at the entrance. Once inside, I could not help but marvel at the magnificent stained glass windows and crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. I had a good time enjoying my dessert while admiring its beautiful interior. 📍Praça da Liberdade 126, 4000-322 Porto, Portugal Music: A little trip Musician: Xuxiao #travelgirls #100waysoftravel #europetrip #porto #vacation #portugal #mcdonald's #fastfood #tripblazers #historical #restaurant

#traveldiaries Just got back from an incredible trip to Porto, and I'm still buzzing from the experience! 🎉 The city is full of charm, with its colorful buildings, winding streets, and friendly locals. I started my visit with a walk along the Ribeira district by the Douro River – such a beautiful area with cafes and street performers. 😍 Crossing the Dom Luís I Bridge was a highlight, offering amazing views of the city and the river below. I visited the Livraria Lello, one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. The entrance fee was €5, which you can use as credit toward a book purchase – a great deal if you're a book lover! 📚 I also took a tour of one of the famous port wine cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia for around €15, which included tastings. 🍷 If you’re into history and culture, the Clérigos Tower and the Porto Cathedral are must-sees, and both offer stunning views of the city. Porto has this laid-back vibe mixed with so much to see and do; I’m already dreaming of my next visit! #trip #Porto #Portugal #Travel #CityBreak #PortWine

There is always competition between the capital and the secon city. In Portugal is the same, but in that case my heart was definitely stolen by Porto, sorry Lisbon 😁 The city center is divided by the river and both sides are beautiful 😍 You can make strolls by the banks, see the landscape from above and get lost among the norrow streets or the little coffee shops. There is some magic I can't relate ✨ #100WaysOfTravel #porto #Portugal #historicallandmarks

On our last day in Porto, we enjoyed a satisfying seafood meal at Armazém do Peixe. Located in Afurada, a charming fishing village just across the river from Porto, this elegant restaurant was converted from the ruins of an old fishing net warehouse in 2017. From the moment we stepped inside, we noticed the space was large, airy, and filled with natural light. The restaurant specializes in preparing fresh seafood while preserving its natural flavors. We ordered Portuguese seafood rice, grilled fish, scallops, and 3 glasses of sangria. The seafood was fresh and delectable, and the waitress was attentive, even helping us debone the fish. 📍Armazém do Peixe Afurada 311, R. 27 de Fevereiro, 4400-607 Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal 49R3+X4 Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal Music: Ohayo Musician: Hani Koi #localfood #100waysoftravel #europe #europetrip #mytripvlog #porto #vacation #portugal #gaia #portuguese #tripblazers #seafood #afurada #restaurant

Livraria Lello (Lello Bookstore) in Porto, Portugal is a historic bookstore founded in 1906 by the brothers José and António Lello. The bookstore's enchanting atmosphere, including the prominent red staircase, is said to have influenced the description of Hogwarts' magical library in Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling who used to live in Porto. Even if you're not a fan of Harry Potter series, this cultural and architectural gem is still worth a visit. The bookstore charges an admission fee of 5 euros which can be used to offset the purchase of any books. Tickets can be booked online or bought on-site.

Portugal. Porto｜Majestic Café Hailed as one of the top 10 must-visit beautiful cafés in Porto, the 'Majestic Café' is truly enchanting. The interior boasts a luxurious, palace-like decor that is both vintage and stunning. This time, I tried the rather uncommon Bombom coffee, which is essentially a Spanish latte made with condensed milk, regular milk, and espresso. It's incredibly sweet and thick (worth trying if you're curious). Although the place is crowded and the tables are quite close to each other (making the dining environment less comfortable), it's still worth a visit if you're traveling abroad. 🔰 Almond tart ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 8,00 € 🔰 “Bombom” coffee ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 8,00 € 🔰 Coffee with whipped cream ＿＿＿＿ 7,00 € //////////////////////// Store Information //////////////////////// 📍 Address: R. de Santa Catarina 112, 4000-442 Porto, Portugal ⏰ Business Hours: 09:00–23:00 (Closed on Sundays) 💰 Average Spend: 8 Euros

#summerdestinations They call Portugal the world's most welcoming country. At least, i do...Porto or Portugal is a charming little country that makes for an excellent summer destination. The beaches of Portugal are some of the best found in Europe. It will sweep you off your feet. I spent 5 days visiting different beaches and none of them failed to amaze me; one even had a church on it. Seen anything like that before? You can also go on a day trip to Aveiro to visit the most colorful town you can imagine! Don’t forget to go for a swim too; it is not every day that you get to swim in the Atlantic ocean. If you are not keen to go far by train, go for Porto’s ocean walk and their old tram. You might even spot one or two lighthouses. I chose Porto as the base of my trip to Portugal. From there I was able to go on smaller and bigger day trips. I stayed at a local hostel and had the most amazing time socialising. Plenty of nice stay options. My hostel was even just a few steps away from the Capela das Almas de Santa Catarina, one of Porto’s most famous sights. To think of it, Portugal is truly one of the most amazing places for travelers seeking variety. My time in Porto was filled with marvelous architecture, delicious food, breathtaking beaches and Pastéi de Nata, a traditional Portuguese pastry. Try it once and Portugal will forever have a special place in your heart. #portugal #porto #beachlife#summerdestinations

After a long walk along the Atlantic coastline at Foz do Douro, we chanced upon Praia da Luz, a beautiful restaurant by Ingleses Beach overlooking the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. The restaurant offered both indoor and outdoor seating, allowing guests to choose their preferred dining ambiance. Although the food was a bit pricey, the breathtaking view made it worthwhile. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, we enjoyed a stunning view of the ocean while savoring our lunch. This picturesque setting is the perfect place to witness a mesmerizing sunset if you visit during dinner time. The combination of delectable food, impeccable service, and the serene sound of the waves created an unforgettable dining experience. 📍 Restaurante Praia da Luz 📌 R. Cel.

The 'Livraria Lello', acclaimed as the most beautiful bookstore in the world, charges an eight euro entry fee. This most beautiful bookstore in the world opened in 1906 and has a history of over 100 years. It is a Neo-Gothic building designed by engineer Xavier Esteves. At the center of the bookstore, there is a symmetrical spiral staircase with a delicate and unique design that has become a popular spot for photographs. While there are many beautiful bookstores, this one became famous because J.K. Rowling, the author of 'Harry Potter', is said to have lived in Porto and worked as a tutor before she became famous. Many places in Portugal became her sources of inspiration, and this historic bookstore is recognized by Harry Potter fans as the filming location for two scenes: Flourish and Blotts and the moving staircases inside Hogwarts Castle. As a Harry Potter fan, I also had to make a pilgrimage here. The bookstore is indeed beautiful, but honestly, I don't think it's worth the eight euro ticket price 😂 Although the ticket can be used as a credit towards book purchases, you can't actually buy a book with it inside 😂 Luckily, today an old man helped me take a beautiful photo as a keepsake because I won't come again.

We chanced upon an interesting shop, The Fantastic World of Portuguese Can, while taking a stroll along the riverfront promenade by the Douro River in Vila Nova de Gaia.
