This iconic bridge offers breathtaking views and serves as a connection between Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. It's a must-see for its architectural beauty and scenic overlooks.
Just a short walk from the Ponte de Luis, this viewpoint offers stunning panoramic views of the city and the bridge. We recommend visiting at sunset to enjoy the scenery alongside local street artists.
A vibrant food market where you can indulge in local delicacies, including fine port wine. It's a feast for the senses and a great way to experience local culture.
For an authentic immersion into Portuguese culture, we suggest booking the Fado and port tasting experience at Calem Cellar. It's an enriching experience that combines traditional music with exquisite wines. We booked ours at GetYourGuide.
For wine enthusiasts eager to delve deep into the world of winemaking, WOW is an essential visit.

A must-visit for anyone wanting to taste the authentic Francesinha, a Porto specialty. Café Santiago is renowned for serving one of the best in the city. But you should be there early, as it tends to be quite packed.
For a taste of something sweet, head to Manteigaria. Their freshly baked Natas, straight from the oven, are simply irresistible. They have a couple of stores all over the city.
A trip to Matosinhos is highly recommended, not just for its beautiful beach but also for the fresh fish. Look for restaurants with outdoor BBQs, where fish caught in the morning is grilled to perfection and served directly to your table.
Casa de Mateus is a historic 18th-century estate located near Vila Real in Portugal, and right next to our Quinta do Paço. Renowned for its Baroque architecture,it’s definitely worth a visit.
