Must try
You HAVE to try the Francesinha - you can find it almost everywhere but the place where you can find is Cafè Santiago. There is a long line but it's fast. I suggest you get one for two.

Of course you should try the Porto wine. You can find it everywhere but along the river there are a lot of winery but my suggestion is:
Porto Augusto's

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Irene Chegai
Available for hire
I am an architect living in Milan. I was born in the Marche region and have lived in Turin, Japan, and Barcelona. I have been traveling since I was young, and even today, whenever I have the opportunity, I escape for a weekend, or why not, for a few more days.
I try to include architectural points of interest in my travels as well. What never misses in my travels are tips from locals, good food, and living life to the fullest.
I travel with friends, as a couple, but also by myself!
