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.

Taiwan's East Coast Treasure | Taroko National Park Road Trip
The east coast of Taiwan (台灣) is full of beautiful nature, including its most famous treasure Taroko National Park (太魯閣國家公園). You can visit here as a day trip from Taipei (台北) but it's worth giving yourself more time to enjoy the coastline, mountains, and natural beauty. We're taking a road trip from Hualien City (花蓮市) to Taroko Gorge (塔羅科峽谷), a narrow gorge made of marble.
Simplemente TAIWAN #6 SHIFEN y las linternas voladoras 來去十分放天燈
Hola amigos! Enseñando a abuela los videos de nuestro último viaje a Taiwán me ha entrado nostalgia pero me ha motivado a seguir editando videos de aquel viaje inolvidable, mi primer viaje fuera de Europa y a la vez, mi primer viaje en Asia.
En el video de hoy nos despedimos de Jiufen (el pueblo del viaje de Chihiro) en dirección a Shifen, un lugar con encanto cuyas atracciones turisticas son su pasado minero, su magnifica cascada que se encuentra a solo 20 min del centro del pueblo y el lanzamiento de linternas voladores o globos de los deseos. Como era un poco tarde para visitar la cascada, hemos aprovechado para lanzar nuestros deseos al infinito.
Muchas gracias por ver mi video. Si os ha gustado regalarme un pulgar hacia arriba y si no es el caso, regalarle el pulgar hacia arriba a mi abuela que solo ha accedido a salir en el video despues de arreglarse el pelo en la peluqueria. No olvidéis suscribiros al canal y dejarme algún mensajito que responderé (como siempre) encantado.

Simplemente TAIWAN #5 JIUFEN el Pueblo del Viaje de Chihiro (Spirited Away) 九份老街重溫神隱少女
Conocida por haber servido de inspiración a Hayao Miyazaki para su septimo largometraje, El viaje de Chihiro (Spirited Away, 2001).
Jiufen debe considerarse como una parada obligada en tu viaje por Taiwán. Su entramado de callejuelas repletas de casas de té de marcado estilo japonés, sus cientos de comercios y su comida hacen de Jiufen un lugar mágico que mantiene la esencia de otros tiempos.
La mayoria de turista de este peculiar pueblo son sin duda nacionales y japoneses. Es recomendable visitar Jiufen durante la semana porque los fines de semana esta mas concurrido que la Semana Santa sevillana.
