Porto - Is this Europe’s best city break destination?

I don’t often visit cities more than once, especially in such quick succession! But that’s what I did with the city of Porto in Portugal. Why? Because it is a truly amazing city to wander and discover! Come with me as I show you the best places to see in the city - including the best viewpoints to discover. I’ll also show you what must be the top of your visit list whilst in Porto. Some of the destinations may surprise you! I’ll also give you my best food tips for places to eat in Porto. If you want to try out the food at the same place that I went to, the name of the restaurant is below: Terreirinho, Porto - Terreirinho Restaurant Porto is famous for it’s tiny blue tiled walls that are dotted in various places all around the city. These tiles form part of a bigger mural that depict a scene in the story of Portuguese culture. They are fascinating and they are beautiful, lighting up this already charming city. Make sure you add this to your itinerary whilst visiting Porto! I hope you enjoy Porto as much as I did. #porto #portugal #azulejo #visitporto #travelporto #travelphoto #travelphotography #traveleurope #wanderlust #wanderer #sonya7iv #sonyphotography

Luís I Bridge

Porto has surely gained a lot of attention over the last few years, and for good reasons: it’s vibrant, colorful, easy, not expensive at all and you can get everywhere on foot! As soon as I stepped out of the São Bento station right before sunset I was invested by the energy of this city and started exploring every part of it, starting from the Dom Luis I bridge over the Douro river, which is definitely the first stop I suggest to have a fantastic view of Porto and its prominent Ribeira district. What I loved the most was wandering through its steep, colorful alleys that are still incredibly authentic and mostly untouched. Put in some good, comfortable shoes then get lost in this part of the city. At the top of the city there are some incredible churches, like Igreja do Carmo and Capela das almas: these two have some amazing facades entirely covered by tens of thousands of blue tiles called “azulejos”. You can see these azulejos across the city in other spots too, including the station as mentioned earlier of São Bento. A 15-minute bus or train ride will get you to the beach to breath in some air from the Atlantic Ocean. You can either go to the lighthouse at Foz do Douro or head over to Senhor da Pedra’s beach, notable for its small church on the rocks! A visit to Porto (and Portugal in general) is not complete without eating a lot of pasteis de nata as well. They sell these yummy pastries everywhere, but some places are better than others: don’t miss those at Mantegaira and Combi cafè! #portugal #porto #ribeira #azulejos #travel #awesomepic
