10 Things to do in Porto, Portugal Travel Guide Video Transcript: (OPORTO)
Lisbon is beautiful, but Porto is magical. We arrived in Porto with our taxi driver’s words still ringing in our ears, and we’re happy to say, the city did not disappoint!
Our time in Porto was spent sipping on Port wine, soaking in the views across the Douro River, wandering through the hilly streets, and marvelling at buildings covered in blue tiles.
In this travel guide, we’re going to share a little bit of Porto’s magic with you, and also show you some of the things you too can see, eat, and drink when you visit Porto!
Known as the Chapel of Souls, this church is covered in tiles that represent moments in the life of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Catherine.
This bookstore is a feast for the eyes. The bookstore was even frequented by JK Rowling when she taught English in Porto, and it’s reported to have been an inspiration in her Harry Potter series.
We continued our walk downhill until we reached the São Bento Train Station.
Porto Cathedral is one of the oldest landmarks in the city with cloisters where the walls are covered in blue tiles.
We reached the neighbourhood of Ribeira, which sits right on the shores of the Douro River. This neighbourhood is lined with many sidewalk cafes, bars, and restaurants, so it’s a nice place to rest your legs and do a bit of people watching. Feeling hungry we wandered down some of the back streets until we found a small restaurant serving up local specialities.
We made time for one more attraction: the Church of Saint Francis.
The Bridge we had all been waiting for was Dom Luis the first Bridge, which spans the Douro River. The lower deck carries regular traffic with narrow walkways for those on foot, and the upper deck is reserved for pedestrians and the metro lines.
For the best views of Porto, you need to walk the upper deck!
There was only one thing on our minds: visit one of the many wineries that line this side of the river! We ended up walking into Croft for a wine tasting without need for an appointment, and this turned out to be one of our favourite activities in Porto!
Filled to the brim with port wine, cheese and chocolate, we enjoyed a light stroll along the Douro River, watching the boats bob in the water.
That’s a wrap for our visit to Porto! We hope you guys enjoyed following along and that you got a few ideas for your own trip. If you have any other suggestions of fun things to do in and around Porto, feel free to share those with travellers in the comments below.
This is part of our Travel in Portugal video series showcasing Portuguese food, Portuguese culture and Portuguese cuisine.

2 EURO Day Trip From Porto To Aveiro: Venice of Portugal - Triple P
Have you heard of the amazing 2 Euro day trip deal from Porto to Aveiro, the Venice of Portugal?
Introduction:
Hey everybody and welcome back to another episode of Triple P with me Surya Sridhar and my dad. So guys I am right now in the beautiful Sao Bento Station and we’re going to be taking a day trip to Aveiro, which is the Venice of Portugal. And the best part of this whole thing is that it only costed us 2 Euros to go and come back per person. That is an amazing deal. It’s only there on Sundays, so I highly recommend the next time when you guys come to Porto and you want to take a day trip, go for this deal. It’s absolutely fantastic! So let’s go and get started!
Come on guys! Let’s go! Let’s rock!
Voice Over:
So as we had another hour left before the train’s departure, we decided to quickly grab ourselves a Portuguese Pingo. It means “a drop”, and refers to the drop of milk put into the espresso. A much loved drink in Portugal.
The train journey in itself was around 1 hour 15 minutes long, but time really flew by as we ended up chatting with a really sweet couple. They ended up inviting me to stay in their home in Malta to take videos of the place for my channel. What an exciting opportunity!
When we finally arrived and made our way to the river cruise, the first thing that struck me was the artsy vibe of the place. Wall paintings, colourful murals, abstract statues and beautiful azure tilings on buildings. But even more stunning were the boats cruising through the canals. We quickly got our tickets, 10 euros each, and got on with a group as well as our personal guide who seriously impressed me with her language skills. She spoke Portuguese, English, Spanish as well as French!
The tour was very informative. We firstly learnt about the famous “moliceiros boats” that were traditionally used to harvest seaweed to fertilise the soils. What makes them so special is not only the shape, but the beautiful depictions drawn on them. Every boat has its own unique painting on it, whether it be of a historical figure, a day to day activity or even a religious symbol. We also got a chance to explore the older and more modern sides of town, learnt about the salt mining process as well as the pivotal roles of fishermen.
After the tour, we decided to go buy an ice-cream and explore the city by foot. We passed by quaint coffee shops, beautiful churches, blue tiled houses, until we came upon an awesome market selling artistic paintings, local baked delights, extra virgin olive oil, hand-woven textiles, as well as wood carved furniture. It had everything!
Unfortunately we didn’t get the time to explore more, but incase you are there longer during your visit, don’t forget to stop by the colourful Costa Nova Beach, the historic Aveiro Museum, and the lush Parque do Infante. It is definitely worth it!
