Ribeira do Porto

Porto is the second largest city in Portugal. Its rich history dates back to the Romans, but I love it for its beautiful architecture, amazing food and proximity to other beautiful parts of northern Portugal like Peneda-Geres National Park and the Douro Valley. By putting this guide together, I wanted to help you make the most out of your time in Porto This guide includes 👉 Advice on getting to Porto 👉 13 Hotel recommendations (at least half of which I've personally visited) 👉 14 Places to explore (including video advice on how to structure a day n Porto) 👉 10 Suggested excursions (including guidance on wineries in the Douro Valley) 👉 11 Restaurant and bar recommendations 👉 8 Best places to try Port Wine and so much more!

We went on a trip with my friends to a city in the north of Portugal named Porto. We visited a lot of beautiful places and tried many activities in and around the city. In this guide I will show you all the interesting spots📍, restaurants🍽, bars🍻, clubs🍸, beaches🌊, accommodations🏠, activities🏄🏼‍♀️ and hacks you should know before travelling to Porto. I will talk mostly about places from my personal experience and some places I wanted to see but didn´t have time to explore everything.

Porto is my favorite city in Portugal (and quite possibly my favorite city in Europe). I've spent over 3 months here in the last two years, which has given me the unique opportunity to fully experience all Porto has to offer. But I also know what it's like to only have two or three days to try to see & do it all, and why I have created this guide for you. I've highlighted all the best spots, and added in some local favorites, to help you maximize your time in this incredibly vibrant city! Rather than have a rigid, scheduled checklist of places, I've tried to group locations together that would make sense if walking around the city. If you start the day where I've suggested, you'll have many options along the way from start to finish. Use the map icon to toggle between the guide and the map, or use the directions tab in each location description to link you to directly to Google maps. This guide includes: 🔹Suggested sites and activities for 3 days in Porto, thoughtfully & geographically grouped together to help maximize your time in the city. 🔹A mix of the "typical" spots to see, as well as some less-traveled places to add something different & unique to your experience. 🔹Tips and insights given are from my own personal experiences from spending over 3 months in this amazing city. This is not just a generic laundry list of an itinerary! And obviously you'll take lunch, wine (!!) and dinner breaks along the way. I didn't include restaurant options here, as I have an entire guide on just food! You will definitely want to check it out, so I'll link it below! ⬇️
