10 Things to do in Porto, Portugal Travel Guide Video Transcript: (OPORTO)
Lisbon is beautiful, but Porto is magical. We arrived in Porto with our taxi driver’s words still ringing in our ears, and we’re happy to say, the city did not disappoint!
Our time in Porto was spent sipping on Port wine, soaking in the views across the Douro River, wandering through the hilly streets, and marvelling at buildings covered in blue tiles.
In this travel guide, we’re going to share a little bit of Porto’s magic with you, and also show you some of the things you too can see, eat, and drink when you visit Porto!
Known as the Chapel of Souls, this church is covered in tiles that represent moments in the life of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Catherine.
This bookstore is a feast for the eyes. The bookstore was even frequented by JK Rowling when she taught English in Porto, and it’s reported to have been an inspiration in her Harry Potter series.
We continued our walk downhill until we reached the São Bento Train Station.
Porto Cathedral is one of the oldest landmarks in the city with cloisters where the walls are covered in blue tiles.
We reached the neighbourhood of Ribeira, which sits right on the shores of the Douro River. This neighbourhood is lined with many sidewalk cafes, bars, and restaurants, so it’s a nice place to rest your legs and do a bit of people watching. Feeling hungry we wandered down some of the back streets until we found a small restaurant serving up local specialities.
We made time for one more attraction: the Church of Saint Francis.
The Bridge we had all been waiting for was Dom Luis the first Bridge, which spans the Douro River. The lower deck carries regular traffic with narrow walkways for those on foot, and the upper deck is reserved for pedestrians and the metro lines.
For the best views of Porto, you need to walk the upper deck!
There was only one thing on our minds: visit one of the many wineries that line this side of the river! We ended up walking into Croft for a wine tasting without need for an appointment, and this turned out to be one of our favourite activities in Porto!
Filled to the brim with port wine, cheese and chocolate, we enjoyed a light stroll along the Douro River, watching the boats bob in the water.
That’s a wrap for our visit to Porto! We hope you guys enjoyed following along and that you got a few ideas for your own trip. If you have any other suggestions of fun things to do in and around Porto, feel free to share those with travellers in the comments below.
This is part of our Travel in Portugal video series showcasing Portuguese food, Portuguese culture and Portuguese cuisine.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO TO SÃO MIGUEL | AZORES ISLANDS | PORTUGAL
If you are an adventurer and love exploring the outdoors this is your island! We recommend renting a car (rentals are extremely affordable). Despite the island being small, some of the well known destinations can take 45 minutes or more to drive to.
The Azores are becoming increasingly popular and with cheap flights from Delta, TAP and Azores Airlines you can get there on a direct flight from a few major US cities. Instead of an extended weekend trip to Vegas- head to the islands!

[4K] PORTO WALKING TOUR - Rua das Flores to Cais da Ribiera
We're back in Porto Portugal - join us on this Porto 4K walking tour along the fascinating streets and sights that lead down to the Rio Duoro and the Ribiera.
We start a little way down from Porto São Bento, the 19th Century train station, on the Rua das Flores. This street dates back to the 16th Century and the restaurants and shops that line it have some stunning tiles, balconies and facades.
Its then a pleasant stroll down Rua de Ferreira Borges to glance at the Palácio da Bolsa as it sits opposite the green Jardim do Infante Dom Henrique.
We cross the main road to wind down the Tv. de São Nicolau - its just a few steps before we emerge into one of Porto's most spectacular views, as the Rio Douro lays gleaming before us. We are on the Cais de Ribiera with it's beautifully positioned and romantic restaurants; with their view of the river, of Vila Nova de Gaia on the opposite bank and of the Ponte Luis I bridge.
This concludes our slow TV city walk - we travelled down Rua des Flores to reach the famous Cais da Ribeira - a Unesco World Heritage site and perhaps the top of the list of one of the top 10 things to do in Porto, and answers the question of what to see if you visit.
