Discover our favorite spots to eat, enjoy a drink, sight see and stay during a trip to Porto, Portugal.
Porto is hands down my favorite city in Portugal. I had to come here often for work since the Cork industry is very close to here. The city is the second largest in Portugal but is packed with so many fun things to do, see and eat! It also has a vibrant art and design scene with lots of cute shops, museums and spaces. Porto is definitely smaller than Lisbon but I still discover new things about it every time I visit. I hope you enjoy this lovely city!
Top 3 things to do in porto are: take a sip of the iconic Port wine the city is named after (I am not a huge fan myself but I do love a Port and Tonic Cocktail), see the view of the city from the gardens of the Crystal Palace during sunset, and visit the many secret gardens that are behind Porto's buildings, many behind restaurants!
