5 Awesome Places You Have To Visit When In PORTO, Portugal!
World's most beautiful McDonalds? The narrowest house in the world? A beautiful peacock park? Panoramic views across the city? Traditional Fado music and interactive Porto wine tour? Check out these 5 wonders of Porto!
Introduction:
Hey everybody and welcome back to another episode of Triple P with me Surya Sridhar. So guys I am in one of the most beautiful destinations in all of Portugal. It was voted as the best European destination in 2014 as well as 2017. It is none other than Porto! And the best part of this trip is that I’m visiting my dad here for one week, so let’s hand it over to him.
Hey guys! I got a new job: acting on Triple P, for 1 Euro an hour. It’s fun! Let’s explore Porto together. Wonderful!
Number 1: Ribeira, Gaia, & Dom Luis Bridge
Jump onto the yellow line and get off the stop Jardim do Morro to get a full panoramic view across the city from the Dom Luis Bridge. You’ll be stunned by the beautiful city before your eyes! There are so many things to see and do. Everything from the bridge jumpers, to going on boat cruises, enjoying the music and dance performances, grabbing an aperitif or yummy snacks like churros, or maybe even buying some gifts from the line of market stalls. You’ll not run out of things to do! Lastly, don’t forget to enjoy the cable car ride down to the Gaia side to explore the best wine tour companies. It is 6 Euros one way and 9 Euros both ways!
Number 2: Calem Porto Wine Tour
On the Gaia side, you will notice a line of famous Porto wine companies including Graham’s, Ferreira, Sandeman and many more. I decided to check out Calem’s wine tour which included a guided tour to the Cálem Cellar which was super interactive and very informational. It was then followed by a tasting of two Port Wines: White and Special Reserve, which could be enjoyed during a special Fado concert, with a male and female voice, accompanied by the traditional Portuguese Guitar as well as the Classical one.
Number 3: World’s Most Beautiful McDonalds
This McDonalds restaurant was inaugurated in 1995 and was previously the Imperial Café, an emblematic historic building from the 30s by the Aliados Avenue. It is not your conventional McD especially due to its luxurious look, as well as the fact that in the McCafe you get a genuine Portuguese coffee with a custard tart called Pasteis de Nata. Very surprising indeed!
Number 4: Crystal Palace Garden
More than 150 years old, this place is loved by both tourists and locals. It is a lush place, home to many plant and animal species including the colourful peacock. If you make your way to the end, you’ll find a fun maze that also overlooks the beautiful Ribeira river. Take your time to explore this area, soak up the suns rays and when you’re tired, head on over to a nearby local coffee shop for a Portuguese Pingo and their famous cream filled pastry.
Number 5: Caramelite Church, Carmo Church & The Hidden House
Known as one of the most curious structures in Porto, these two churches that stand as two different religious buildings, but actually look like a single architectural structure. Separating them, is the world’s narrowest house, only one meter in width. It only costs a few Euros to explore and has 3 storeys in total. The interesting story behind this house is that it was formed specially to stop the communication between the nuns of the Caramelite Church and the monks at the Carmo Church. Very interesting indeed!
Porto Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour with an Optional River Cruise and Wine Tasting
See the sights on a Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour in Porto, Portugal.

유람선을 내려서 찾은 곳은 리베이루. 나른한 햇살과 빛바랜 낡은 건물 안에서 게으르게 펄럭이고 있는 빨래들. 평범한 삶의 풍경은 친구네 집에 가는 길처럼 낯선 길도 편안하게 만들어준다. 리베이루를 걷다보면 관광객 수만큼이나 많은 식당과 기념품 가게를 만나게 된다. 강변을 따라 늘어선 기념품 가게 중 한 곳을 기웃거리다보니 가장 먼저 눈에 띄는 것. 대표적인 기념품인 갈로다. 갈로는 수탉으로 집에 두면 행운을 가져온다고 한다. 가게 한 편에선 포르투갈의 전통 신발을 팔고 있었는데, 굽이 뭉툭하면서 높은 것이 우리나라 나막신과 비슷했다. 복닥복닥 인파로 붐비는 강변을 벗어나니 조용하고 한적한 리베이루의 뒷골목이 나를 기다린다. 골목이 여러 갈래로 나뉘고 또 합쳐지기를 몇 번. 피자 가게로 보이는데 가게 앞에 달아놓은 작은 간판이 궁금했다. 알고 보니 도루 강에 잠긴 날짜와 높이를 표시해놓은 것. 몇 년에 한 번씩 도루 강이 범람해 리베이루가 물에 잠기는데 1978년에는 가게 지붕까지 물에 잠겼다고 한다. “물이 여기까지 차올랐어요. 우편함이 모두 지붕 높이에서 이곳저곳으로 떠다녔어요.” “올라, 헬로우” 냇물에서 돌을 치우면 냇물은 그 노래를 잃어버린다고 했던가. 인생의 희로애락을 담고 있는 리베이루의 뒷골목. 사람들의 삶을 닮은 그 풍경에 잠시 마음을 내려놓는다.

Ribeiro got off a cruise ship is made where found. Heavy and light faded and worn flapping lazily in the laundry in the building. Landscape of ordinary life makes it comfortable even stranger way, like the way to a friend's house. Walk the Riveter is made as tourists can meet many restaurants and souvenir shops. Snooping on one of the souvenir shops lined along the riverbank oneself it will be the first to stand out. Typical souvenir of Roda go. Gallo will bring some good luck to the rooster leave the house. In one hand was the traditional shoe shop to sell in Portugal, it was similar blunt with high-heeled clogs our country. Bokdak bokdak bustling crowds in a quiet and secluded riverside you out of the back streets of the Rive made me wait. Alley again get together a few times divided into several branches. Seems a little pizzeria was wondering signs they put in front of the store. It turns out that haenoteun display the date and height submerged in the river steals. A few years once a year Rive steals river flooding submerged in water 1978 I made it to the store roof and soaked in water. Water is the car I climbed up here. I went from place to place on both the left mailbox roof height. Up, hello, put away the stone from the creek creek Did he have lost the song. Ribeiro made of alleys containing the emotions of life. Lay down for a while in the minds landscapes that resemble the lives of people.
[Portuguese: Google Translator]
Ribeiro saiu um navio de cruzeiro é feita quando encontrados. Pesada e leve desvanecido e vestido batendo preguiçosamente na lavanderia no prédio. Paisagem de vida comum torna confortável maneira ainda mais estranho, como o caminho para a casa de um amigo. Caminhe o rebitador é feito como os turistas podem encontrar muitos restaurantes e lojas de souvenirs. A bisbilhotar uma das lojas de souvenirs alinhadas ao longo da margem do rio se ele vai ser o primeiro a se destacar. Lembrança típica de Roda movimento. Gallo vai trazer alguma boa sorte para o galo sair de casa. Em uma mão foi a loja de sapatos tradicional para vender em Portugal, foi contundente semelhante com tamancos de salto alto nosso país.

세비야에서 두 시간 남짓 달려 지브롤터로 향했다. 스페인 속의 영국 지브롤터는 대서양에서 지중해로 들어가는 입구에 있어 지정학적으로 매우 중요한 곳이다. 1704년 영국이 점령한 이래로, 영국 땅이 됐다. 여권을 보여주고 간단한 입국심사를 거친다. 걸어서 국경을 넘는 사람도 많다. 그런데 갑자기 사이렌 소리와 함께 길이 통제된다. 알고 봤더니 우리가 비행기 활주로를 건너고 있었던 것. 땅이 좁은 지브롤터의 활주로는 여기밖에 없다고 한다. 하루에도 몇 차례 영국본토를 오가는 비행기가 뜰 때마다 잠시 멈춰야 한다. 다시 평화롭게 지브롤터를 향하는 사람들, 누군가에겐 출근길이고, 누군가에겐 설레는 여행길이다.

Two hours from Seville, we headed for Gibraltar. British Gibraltar in Spain is a geopolitically important place at the entrance to the Mediterranean from the Atlantic Ocean. Since the British occupation in 1704, it became a British land. Show your passport and go through simple immigration. Many people walk across the border. Suddenly the length of the sirens is controlled with the sound. I knew we were crossing the airplane runway. It is said that there is only a runway of Gibraltar with a narrow land. We have to stop for a few times a day as we fly over the mainland. Again, people who go to Gibraltar peacefully, someone to go to work, and someone who is excited to travel.
[Spain: Google Translator]
A dos horas de Sevilla, nos dirigimos a Gibraltar. Gibraltar británico en España es un lugar geopolíticamente importante en la entrada al Mediterráneo desde el Océano Atlántico. Desde la ocupación británica en 1704, se convirtió en una tierra británica. Muestra tu pasaporte y pasa por inmigración simple. Muchas personas cruzan la frontera. De repente, la longitud de las sirenas se controla con el sonido. Sabía que estábamos cruzando la pista del avión. Se dice que solo hay una pista de Gibraltar con una tierra estrecha. Tenemos que detenernos unas cuantas veces al día mientras volamos sobre el continente. Nuevamente, las personas que van a Gibraltar pacíficamente, alguien para ir a trabajar y alguien que está emocionado de viajar.

LIVERPOOL: EXPLORING THE LARGEST CATHEDRAL in BRITAIN & the LONGEST IN THE WORLD ⛪
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go visit the magnificent Liverpool Cathedral which is the Church of England Cathedral of the Diocese of Liverpool, built on St James's Mount in Liverpool and is the seat of the Bishop of Liverpool. It may be referred to as the Cathedral Church of Christ in Liverpool (as recorded in the Document of Consecration) or the Cathedral Church of the Risen Christ, Liverpool, being dedicated to Christ 'in especial remembrance of his most glorious Resurrection'.
The cathedral is based on a design by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. The total external length of the building, including the Lady Chapel (dedicated to the Blessed Virgin), is 207 yards (189 m) making it the longest cathedral in the world; its internal length is 160 yards (150 m).

Karaite Insights Living from Sintra, Portugal: Perhaps the Most Important Advice Ever
The undisciplined mind spends much of its time worrying and creating worst-case scenarios, most of which will never occur.
We all know the phenomenon: a loved one is 10 minutes late coming home, and we have already decided in our heads that something horrible has happened to him or her. Then he pops through the door, and it turns out that he wanted to call all along to say he was stuck in traffic, but his cellphone battery had died. We breathe a sigh of relief and go on with our lives, but we never stop to recognize the wild fantasy we had built up by our undisciplined minds; and so the pattern repeats itself, ad infinitum.
In this video, Hakham Melech discusses the importance of developing, over time, a disciplined mind as a necessary prerequisite to overcoming what is the greatest mental plague from which humanity suffers: unnecessary worries and fears.
Please enjoy! And may Yehowah be with you.
