Porto is an incredible city on the Atlantic Ocean that has its own rich culture and attractions that are fun to explore. Here you can spend time walking, visit local museums, and try some of the national cuisine.

What can you do in Porto and why should you come here on vacation? Wyandotte Daily tells about it.

The dazzling bridge of the House of Luís I

This is a steel bridge that crosses the Douro River and connects the Ribeira district with Vila Nova de Gaia. From here, tourists can see an amazing view of the city.

Ribeira, the bank of the Porto River

This area is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It stuns with its architecture, establishments, and local flavour, accompanied by the sounds of music from local artists.

History of Palácio da Bolsa

It is a palace with complex neoclassical architecture that attracts travellers with its Moorish design. Visitors can go on a guided tour to learn its history and secrets.

Cruise on the Douro River

You can see the city on a river cruise, which reveals the beauty of the local hills and buildings. In addition, during the boat trip, you can see local fishermen casting their nets to catch fresh fish.

Port wine

If you like to drink something special, you should head to the cellar in Vila Nova de Gaia. Here you can taste vintage port and take a themed tour.

Torre dos Clérigos Tower

This is the tallest bell tower in Porto, overlooking the entire city. Here travellers can climb to the top, going up 240 steps to see the city, the river and the Atlantic Ocean.

Soares dos Reis National Museum

To learn more about local art, this is the museum to visit. It houses works of both medieval and modern artists, and offers guided tours and workshops.

Jardín do Morro Park

This is a green and blooming garden that also offers beautiful views of the river. Here you can enjoy the tranquil atmosphere and immerse yourself in exploring the flowers.

Casa da Música

This is a place that embodies not only architectural excellence but also an amazing musical diversity. It's a pleasant place to walk around. However, what is even more interesting is to attend a world-class concert that will take place within the walls of the building.

Mercado do Bolhão market

The culinary diversity and authentic life of Porto is centered in its market. Here you can enjoy fresh delicacies and chat with local vendors.
