We had 2 days and 2 nights here in this quaint and lovely city by the river. Home of Port wine and houses nestled on the cliffs, it has much to offer but there could be more. The people are friendly and inviting. There is much history here with churches and cathedrals galore. The town is old but historical giving it its charm. There are much options for food from little mom-and-pop shops to fancy affairs. All offering authentic cuisine. Regardless of the choice, all are small and quaint so reservations are highly recommended especially at the mom-and-pops since locals eat there as well. As for sightseeing, I recommend walking about since the town is relatively small. Walk down the narrow streets and navigate your way around to soak in the culture. Go down to the rivers edge and take in the people and scene. Since I'm a foodie, looking for a good place to eat and having wine (or Port) or their local beer, Super Bock, took priority. The town appears to be going through a change as one local told me. Construction work can be seen throughout with cranes and scaffolding pretty much everywhere. There were lots of dilapidated buildings that were unoccupied and some were being renovated. Looks like the old is leaving awaiting the new to come. I think I may have experienced Porto while it was still in its infancy. I can't, or don't want to, imagine what it'll be like in 5 years as I definitely see this as a major tourist destination. read more
