Colorful houses along the Douro in Porto

2 days · June and September

Porto

A river, a bridge, and a heavy lunch.

Porto is stonier than Lisbon, and more substantial. Walk one bridge, visit one cellar, and do not add a third plan.

A francesinha is lunch. Put a hill after it and the group goes quiet. Save the evening for a lighter table.

Highlights

  • A walk across one bridge
  • A single cellar
  • Lunch on the far bank

Neighborhoods

Ribeira

The view is here. You do not have to eat the whole dinner on this quay.

Cedofeita

A more local evening, and a flatter walk home to bed.
