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.

Jordaan Amsterdam

Jordaan is a neighbourhood in the heart of Amsterdam’s famous Canal Ring. It used to be a working class neighbourhood and has since become one of the most upscale locations in The Netherlands. The name ‘Jordaan’ comes either from the French word for garden (jardin) or the Dutch word for the river Jordan. Rembrandt lived in the Jordaan for the last part of his life and he’s buried in the Westerkerk just beyond the neighbourhood’s official borders.

The most widely-known place in the Jordaan is the Anne Frank House where Anne Frank and her family lived in hiding for more than two years during the Nazi occupation of Holland. This building, where Anne wrote her famous diary, became a national monument in 1957. I read The Diary of a Young Girl at about the same age Anne was when she wrote it and it has stayed with them, as it has with many people. The House is very busy so make sure to buy tickets online in advance, up to two months ahead, to be sure you get inside.

Across from the Anne Frank House is a micro-neighbourhood within the Jordaan called the Little 9 Streets. It’s actually three streets that cross two canals which splits them into nine little streets. There are lots of adorable shops and restaurants. One unique shop is called No Boys Allowed. It’s a sneaker store which sells women’s sneakers in women’s sizes only. They also get exclusive releases from brands like Nike, Adidas, and Puma.

One of my favourite places I stumbled across in the Jordaan is a place called The Mouse Mansion Shop and Studio. The window displays are ridiculously charming! It’s a family business run by a mother and her four adult children. They write stories about a world of mouse characters they’ve created, build sets for the stories, and photograph them for books and videos. They sell the books, along with merchandise and toys, around the world. The sets are like dollhouses and extremely detailed - they can take years to build! The mice and their world is incredibly sweet and it’s a place I was glad to come across so randomly.

My other favourite memory from the Jordaan was getting a coffee and sitting on the terrace of a cafe called De Vergulde Gaper. It’s located across from the canal in an old drug store. It’s an ideal spot to sit and soak in the bicycles, the bridges, and all the sights that make Amsterdam so unique.

This neighbourhood was a true highlight from my trip to Amsterdam and I loved spending time there. Does it look like a place you’d like to visit? If you’ve already been, what were your highlights? I’d love to hear so please leave a comment down below and tell me!

Efter smakuppleveslerna på klostret åker Gone Camping till pittoreska chokladstaden Brügge, där de gör egna chokladpraliner. Martin checkar in på Camping Memling och njuter där av sitt nyinköpta trappistöl och god ost.

Baarle, Teil 1, In welchem Land bin ich hier eigentlich?

Ich habe eine Woche Ferien in und um Baarle gemacht. Baarle hat knapp zehntausend Einwohner und liegt südwestlich von Tilburg, südöstlich von Breda und nördlich von Turnhout. Baarle liegt in den südlichen Niederlanden. Eigentlich: Denn im Ort befinden sich 22 belgische Enklaven - Gebiete, die zu Belgien gehören, aber nicht mit dem belgischen Mutterland unmittelbar verbunden sind. Und: In den zwei größten dieser belgischen Enklaven befinden sich noch einmal sieben oder acht niederländische Subenklaven - also Gebiete, die vollständig von belgischem Gebiet umgeben ist, welches wiederum vollständig von niederländischem Gebiet umgeben ist.

Die niederländischen Gebiete des Ortes gehören zur Gemeinde Baarle-Nassau, die belgischen zur Gemeinde Baarle-Hertog. So manches gibt es in Baarle doppelt: Zwei Rathäuser und zwei Postämter zum Beispiel. Auch zwei Polizeidienststellen, nur dass sie sich ein Gebäude teilen (das natürlich auf der Grenze öliegt). Stellt euch vor, in Baarle klaut ein Tunichtgut eine Handtasche. Dann müssen sowohl die niederländischen als auch die belgischen Polizisten loseilen, denn man weiß ja nicht, ob man den Lümmel auf niederländischem oder auf belgischem Gebiet schnappen wird.

Andere Sachen teilen sich die Baarler: Zum Beispiel das Kulturzentrum von Baarle, das auch die Internationale Bibliothek Baarle beherbergt.

Am meisten los ist in Baarle sonntags. Sowohl die niederländischen als auch die belgischen Läden haben dann offen, und der Ort ist überlaufen von Ausflüglern, zumindest wenn das Wetter ordentlich ist. Montags hingegen haben etliche Läden dann sogar zu. Für einen Ausflug nach Baarle empfehle ich deswegen jeden der fünf anderen Tage der Woche.

Aber diesen Ausflug empfehle ich in jedem Fall. Baarle ist einzigartig. Beim Spazierengehen wechselt man unwillkürlich immer wieder die Grenze. Den Baarlern ist das egal. Die kennen ihre Grenzsituation nämlich bereits seit dem Mittelalter (!) und nehmen die Grenzen im Alltag kaum noch wahr. Baarle ist aber nicht nur zwei in einem, sondern ist auch darüberhinaus recht sehenswert. Und Einkaufs- und Verpflegungsmöglichkeiten gibt es in Baarle deutlich mehr, als man sonst von einem 10000-Einwohner-Dorf erwarten kann.

In de Noord-Franse stad Roubaix zijn gewond bij een gijzeling, Franse media verslag. Ooggetuigen melden dat gewapende aanvallers houden mensen in gijzeling in een huis. Er zijn schoten gehoord, misschien van een Kalashnikov.

Roubaix is ​​niet ver van de Belgische grens.

Volgens de Franse zender France 2, de gijzeling in verband met zware criminaliteit en niet met de nasleep van de aanslagen in Parijs.
