What Porto has to offer?
The Ribeira district
On the bank of Douro, the Ribeira district is certainly one of the most colourful areas, with its winding streets, flights of stairs, and vaulted passageways around houses set against the cliffs. This lively area is packed with restaurants and bars, both touristy and popular.
The Upper City
Make your way up the picturesque steep streets of the upper town! The mixture of Medieval, Baroque, and Neoclassical architecture means there’s an endless supply of sights to discover! Don’t miss the 12th-century cathedral fortress and Sao Bento station, a masterpiece of Azulejo art.
The Rabelos
On the other bank of Douro, just opposite Porto, Rabelos, square-sailed boats, anchor in front of the warehouse in Vila Nova de Gaia. They used to transport the casks of precious nectar. But while the warehouse overlooks the river, the vineyards are further down the Douro Valley: a trip worth planning!
See the sea from the tram!
For a change of pace, take line 1 on the tram to the coast: this old tram runs along the mouth of the Douro to take you to Foz de Douro. You can also take the tram to Matosinhos, Vila de Conde or Povoa de Varzim, the closest beaches. The train to Aveiro also takes you to Espinho in an hour.
