Proudly unconquered and tripe eating: there you have two emblems of Oporto. As soon as you get there, you'll realize this won't be your last visit to the city. There's just too much to see.
Since you're staying at the Oporto Youth Hostel, we will be honoured to serve you breakfast with a panoramic view of the Douro estuary. And after the grub, check out the town. Take in the different styles of local architecture, zigzag across the bridges, taste the Port wine in one of the many cellars, mix with the people in Bolhão marketplace, count the number of steps as you climb to the top of Clérigos' Tower and take a souvenir photo in Avenida dos Aliados.
If you're a football freak, then FC Porto and Boavista stadiums are waiting to hear you scream wildly. The Rosa Mota pavillion and the coliseum should have several events scheduled to suit your taste. At night, the Ribeira and the many discos in town are a clear synonym for fun unlimited. All this and much more.
Porto is a cool town. |
