PORTO
Why Porto?
If Lisbon is Portugal’s city of sprawl, colossal avenues and grandeur, Porto, proud and deeply traditional, is the opposite. An endless labyrinth of cobbled side streets and viewpoints that will enchant you from the beginning. Your first job upon arrival is to get lost in the effortless, earthy charm of the Douro river. If that doesn’t do it for you, work your way up towards one of the traditional taverns, or Tascas and get stuck into a plate of tripas à modo do Porto or of course, one of the city’s infamously gargantuan francesinhas.
Highlights
"You also should do a Douro River tour if you are interested in green, expansive views, some of the best wine in the world and general good vibes. Yet to be done because I am broke... but it is meant to be an absolute GEM!"

Transport
Porto is small. Depending on what your daily routine looks like and your commute, you can easily get through a week without using transport too much.
The wider city centre is connected by a metro network. It is very cheap and very easy to use, with tickets starting at €1.20. Do pay attention when buying your tickets as there is a slightly complex zonal system and different stations may require different tickets. Buses can be used with the same “Andante” (Walker) pass that you use on the metro and are particularly useful when trying to cross the river.
Uber journeys are very useful and it will typically cost around €5-8 for a journey back from a night out.
