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.

I've highlighted all the best spots, and added in some local favorites, to help you maximize your time in this incredibly vibrant city!

If you start the day where I've suggested, you'll have many options along the way from start to finish.

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! ⬇️
