One Day in Porto: Porto’s Charm in 24 Hours

Spending a day in Porto is like stepping into a charming, historic fairytale. Start your morning with a stroll along the Ribeira district, the view of the old bridges and the historic Porto Cathedral is breathtaking! For lunch, we tried the classic Francesinha sandwich (a must try)! Then, head to a port wine cellar for a tasting. Porto is the birthplace of the famous port wine, and a cellar tour is a great way to learn about its history. In the afternoon, wander through Livraria Lello, one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world, with its grand staircase and stained glass. After that, a quick visit to Palácio de Bolsa (the Stock Exchange Palace) reveals the city’s opulent side. To end your day, cross the Dom Luís I Bridge for sunset views over Porto’s skyline and the river. If you have time, enjoy a riverfront walk or grab a drink at one of the cafés along the water (I highly recommend it since the atmosphere was fantastic!) Tips: - Getting around: porto is walkable, but if you need to get somewhere fast, trams are fun and efficient. - Visit Livraria Lello early to avoid crowds!
