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.

10 Days in Portugal: Lisbon, Algarve, Cascais, Sintra, Porto | The Travel Intern
Some of you guys were asking about Portugal ever since our Destination Unknown: Portugal episode was out! Well, fret no more, here is a comprehensive 10-day itinerary you can follow when you head over to the beautiful country:
Culture, beautiful architecture and nature. Portugal is definitely Europe's best kept secrets.
LISBON
00:25 - Pasteis de Belem
Are you really in Portugal if you don't try a Portuguese egg tart? :-) We received so many recommendations from locals themselves to visit this place. It is actually one of the oldest Portuguese egg tart shops around!
00:33 - Belem Tower
00:36 - Jeronimos Monastery
These two sights are truly sights to behold. Learn more about the history of Lisbon here!
00:41 - Praco do Comercio
Kinda like the city hall area of Lisbon, locals and tourists alike gather here to window shop, watch buskers do their thangggg and simply just to chill.
00:47 - Santa Justa Lift
This lift was built in the past to ease the amount of stairs in the past, where you get to see a beautiful panoramic view of the city from the top! But remember that a lot of people want to head up there, so it's better to go during non-peak hours.
00:51 - Rua Nova do Carvalho
Known as the pink street of Lisbon, it used to be the area that housed the red light district of Lisbon in the past, but has since been converted to a home for cozy cafes and modern pubs and bars.
00:57 - The Sanctuary of Christ the King
A definite must-visit when you're in Portugal!
ALGARVE REGION
01:07 - Praia da Rocha
Amazing sunset views can be enjoyed from this beautiful beach. It does get pretty crowded, but there's always a space for everyone and anyone. :-)
01:13 - Wildwatch Tour — Benagil Cave
This boat tour includes a short kayaking session, one of the highlights is definitely kayaking into the Benagil Cave. It is known to be one of the most beautiful sea caves in the world!
01:30 - Pinhao Beach
Soak up some sun here, and navigate through cliff formations to get to different areas of the beach! Be careful of the tide level though.
CASCAIS & SINTRA
01:36 - Shoreline path of Cascais, Guincho Beach
If you're in Cascais, you definitely have to cycle along the popular shoreline path from downtown Cascais to Guincho Beach. The views you get of the shoreline are simply breathtaking.
01:44 - Pena Palace
Perched atop one of the highest points in the quaint city of Sintra, this palace was built and painted so colourfully so that it could grab everyone's attention no matter where you stood in Sintra.
01:50 - Moorish Castle
Built in the medieval times, the Moorish Castle served as a watchtower in the past.
01:55 - Quinta de Regalaria
It took us pretty long to find this place because it was nestled deep in the parks. But it was well worth it. There's just a mystical feel to it.
02:02 - Cabo da Roca
The westernmost point of Europe, here we have a lookout point with a beautiful lighthouse overlooking the ocean.
02:09 - Marisco na Praca
You can pick and choose from a seafood bar here, but be sure to try the seafood rice! It was our favourite.
PORTO
02:17 - Sao Bento Railway Station
Get introduced to the beautiful azulejo tiles of Porto at the railway station here!
02:23 - Cafe Santiago
Just like in Lisbon, are you really in Porto if you haven't tried the local delight, Francesinha?
02:30 - Porto Cathedral
Discover one of the city's oldest cathedrals, open to public to simply sight-see or join in their service.
02:37 - Palacio de Cristal
We highly recommend setting up a picnic here, and catching the sunset overlooking downtown Porto.
02:46 - Duoro Valley Day Tour
Go on a wine-tasting day tour to try different kinds of port wine! If you fancy sweeter-tasting wines, this is definitely the tour for you to take.
02:51 - Livariao Lello
This bookstore is said to have inspired JK Rowling to start on the Harry Potter series. There is an entrance fee and a long queue to get in though, so be prepared!
02:59 - Tile Making Tour
You'll get to see thousands of tiles lining the walls of buildings all across Porto, why not make your own too? Learn from a local in Porto!
03:03 - Ribeira Square
End your trip at one of the oldest neighbourhoods of Porto. The sunset here is also not to be missed!
Have you ever been to Portugal? And would you like to? Tell us! :-)
If you haven't already watched it, catch our Destination Unknown series' episode on Portugal, link to it at the end of the video! :-D

5 Top Tourist Attractions in Portugal | Europe | Love Is Vacation
5 Top Tourist Attractions in Portugal
Portugal is a small country that faces the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula. Because of its beautiful coastline and historical heritage, it is one of the most visited countries in Europe. Its smaller size makes it easier to get around and see more places than say neighboring Spain in the same amount of time. The temperate climate makes it a year-round vacation destination, where travelers can see Roman and Moorish ruins among other tourist attractions in Portugal.

Porto Travel Guide
A travel guide for visiting Porto Portugal including the 8 best things to do in Porto. Highlights include: Porto's Wine Lodges including Sandemann and Offley, Telerifico de Gaia, Porto's famous sandwich, Sao Bento Train Station, Clergios Church Tower, Lello Bookstore, Riverfront Ribeira quarter, and the Stock Exchange Palace.
Porto is Portugal's 2nd largest city and is famous for Port Wine. Porto is built along the hills overlooking the Douro river estuary, and its historical center was awarded World Heritage status by UNESCO in 1996. Porto is not as well known as Portugal's capital Lisbon, but Porto is becoming a tourist destination of it's own. In fact, Porto was named by Forbes Magazine as The City To Visit This Year in 2017.
Don't forget the traditional sandwich called Francesinha, which literally translated means little French lady. Porto is just about the only place in the world where you can find it. Essentially the Francesinha is toast with layers of meat inside (beef, pork meat, ham...). The sandwich is then covered with cheese and a spicy sauce, with the option of including french fries on top. The Francesinha has been considered one of the 10 best sandwiches in the World.
One of the most famous lodges in Porto is the Sandeman lodge. This lodge has been here since the middle of the 18th century. It was originally founded by a Scottish man who wanted to import the wines from Portugal to Britain. The tours are 6 Euro, you can turn up and hope they have a tour in your language. We're here in the morning at 11, they said we'd just missed an English tour at 10.30 and the next one's at 2.45. Apparently Sandeman has two sister wine sellers and they'll let you know when those have English tours. So the next English tour for us is at Offley at 12 o'clock and there is another one, the Ferreira just a little further down the street. So if you don't find a tour at the one you're going to, check out one of the other lodges.
For a unique view of the wine lodges and the river front of Porto take the Teleferico de Gaia. The views are truly terrific on the Teleferico. Ba - dum - tish! It takes you from wine lodge country up to the top of the bridge near the Metro Station. Tickets one way cost 5 Euro or 8 Euro for a round trip.
Porto's main street through the historic center is a big wide avenue that has the City Hall on top flanked by two roads on either side, reminiscent of Wenceslas Square in Prague. Even if you're not taking a train into or out of Porto it's worth a trip to the Sao Bento Train Station. It's a very beautiful train station, actually I think one of the most beautiful on the inside that I've been to, the lobby area at least, because it was decorated with these blue Portuguese tiles from 1910 and they're showing the history of transportation from horses to oxen to boats and even battles over there. You'll find a number of historic churches dotted around the town with decorative Portuguese blue tiles inside and in this case, outside the church. That blue tile decoration outside occurs on more than just one church.
For some of the best views of Porto climb up to the top of the Clerigos church tower. The tower itself isn't actually that tall but it is on the highest point of Porto making it a place for unobstructed views. You know, I say it's not that tall because I haven't climbed it yet. The total number of stairs, 197 to be exact. And actually the stair climb isn't too bad. It's slightly narrow but it takes about 10 minutes to get to the top, maybe even five if you do it quickly.
After the tower stop by at the Livraria Lello, a bookstore that was founded in 1881 and it's where people thought J.K. Rowling was inspired to write Harry Potter. It has to be the most elaborately decorated and designed bookstore I've ever seen and the staircase looks like something out of an M.C. Escher drawing. Very curvy.
The street right along the river, the Ribeira, or as I like to think of it, the Riviera. I don't think that's really what it's called but I'm going to call it that for this video. It's a great place to dine, there's a lot of restaurants here.
To see an interesting kind of private Palace in Porto, visit the Palacio da Bolsa, or the Stock Exchange Palace. This palace was completed in 1910 to be the Porto and North of Portugal Stock Exchange, built and owned by the Oporto Commercial Association.

Portugal - Sintra
The Cultural Landscape of Sintra is no. 723 on UNESCO's World Heritage List. There are many palaces scattered around in the Sintra area, and one will have a hard time reaching them all. Most tourists will do the same we did: Start at the National Palace in the town centre, take a bus (no 434) uphill to the Moorish castle and then board the same bus further uphill to the fantastic Pena Palace.

LISBON: Chiado & Bairro Alto districts (3/5) Portugal
CHIADO is a traditional shopping area that mixes old and modern commercial establishments, mostly located at the Rua do Carmo and Rua Garrett. The Chiado is also an important cultural area, with several museums and theatres. Chiado is the name of a square and its surrounding area in Lisbon/Lisboa (Portugal). The Chiado is located between the neighbourhoods of Bairro Alto and Baixa Pombalina.
In 1988, the Chiado area was severely affected by a fire, when 18 buildings were partially or totally destroyed. Thanks to a renovation project that lasted more than 10 years, the affected area has now virtually recovered.
The Santa Justa Lift (Portugese: Elevador de Santa Justa) is an elevator, or lift, in Lisbon and connects the higher Largo do Carmo with the lower streets of the Baixa.
The Convento da Ordem do Carmo (English: Convent of Our Lady of Mount Carmel) is a former-Roman Catholic convent. The medieval convent was ruined during the sequence of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, and the destroyed Gothic Church of Igreja do Carmo on the southern facade of the convent is the main trace of the great earthquake still visible in the old city. The Carmo Convent and its Church were built between 1389 and 1423. It is located in the Chiado neighbourhood, on a hill overlooking the Rossio square and facing the Lisbon Castle hill. It is located in front of a quiet square Largo do Carmo, very close to the Santa Justa Lift. Nowadays the ruined Carmo Church is used as an archaeological museum (Museu Arqueológico do Carmo).
__________________________________________
BAIRRO ALTO (literally: Upper District) is a central district of the city of Lisbon, Portugal. Unlike many of the civil parishes of Lisbon, this region can be commonly explained as a loose association of neighbourhoods, with no formal local political authority but social and historical significance to the urban community of Lisbon.
In the last decades of the 20th century, there was a significant socio-cultural dynamic in the area, as a great part of the nightlife became dependent on the restaurants and bars of the quarter. Lisbon's city council made extensive remodelling and repairs to the district, resulting in the opening of new restaurants, clubs and trendy shops. While cars were restricted in the district (except for residents and emergency vehicles), many young people began to live in the Bairro; it is generally a youth-oriented heart of the sub-culture and nightlife of Lisbon.
The Bairro Alto district is generally delimited in the south by the Calçada do Combro and Rua do Loreto, west by Rua de O Século, north by Rua D. Pedro V and east by Rua da Misericórdia and Rua São Pedro de Alcântara. It is, topographically, a plateau with medium elevation of 76 metres (249 ft) terminating in the north, with accentuated slope towards the south.
The Glória Funicular (Portuguese: Ascensor da Glória) is a funicular railway line in the parish of Santo António (Lisbon), operated by Carris. It connects the Bairro Alto district with the Pombaline downtown (at the Restauradores Square. The tram system is situated along an axis that slopes 17.7%, that extends from the Avenida da Liberdade to the Rua de São Pedro de Alcântara, crossing a built-up area of 19th century buildings, including the Palácio Foz and the Misericórdia of Lisboa. The funicular includes two cars that operate parallel along two axes, that descend and climb simultaneously.
