Porto, Portugal

Porto, Portugal

📍🇵🇹 Porto is a coastal city in northwest Portugal known for its stately bridges and port wine production. We were absolutely starstruck by this city charm, the colorful facades, the amazing food, the cheap alcohol, and the friendliness of it inhabitants! I can’t wait to return!!! 📸 For more photos, follow @oliviafrances143 on Instagram.

Jardim de JoĂŁo Chagas
@wanderingduo
Near the Clèrigos tower, this is a great place to take a load off and enjoy nature. Don’t forget to spot the weird looking trees with the thick trunks!

Douro Valley Wine Tours
@wanderingduo
Our first Airbnb experience to the Douro River Valley did not disappoint ❤️ I highly recommend the behind the scenes experience with Manuel & family. We got to see the oldest port wine house est. in 1838 and dine at a family-produced farm. I learned so much and have such a new appreciation for the beverage!! Saúde!
