City Breaks in Porto: find your perfect rental from just £15 per night!
Whether strolling along the river banks or meandering through the gritty backstreet districts of Ribeira and Massarelos, Porto is definitely a city where it's best to forget the guide books and let your feet lead you on a journey of discovery. To start you off, however, here are five top things to do in Porto.
The River Douro riverbank is a great place for sipping port, dining on tapas, shopping for quirky souvenirs and in the hot summer months watching intrepid locals jumping from the Luis I Bridge into the river. Stairways up from the riverbank take you through a maze of pastel-coloured houses.
Opened in 1886, this twin-level bridge carries trains, traffic and pedestrians across the Douro. Enjoy panoramic views from the top-level, then take the Funicular dos Guindais back down to river level and stroll across the lower deck.
When built, the tower of this Tuscan-inspired Baroque church was Portugal's tallest building, and at 75.6m tall it's still pretty impressive. Climb to the top for panoramic views of the city.
Even without concert tickets, it's still worth taking a tour of the Casa da Música. This rule-breaking contemporary building was designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. Appearing to stand on its head, the building has two walls made entirely of glass.
Blow away the cobwebs with a walk along this promenade, a recreation of the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. With the lighthouse as a backdrop, it's a romantic spot at sunset.
