✈️ First time in Portugal 🇵🇹
1. Our trip starts in Porto
🔹 The birthplace of Port wine – The world-famous Port wine originates here, and many of the best cellars are located across the river in Vila Nova de Gaia.
🔹 Azulejos everywhere – Porto is a living gallery of blue-and-white tiles. São Bento Station alone has over 20,000 tiles telling the story of Portugal’s history.
🔹 The world’s most beautiful bookstore – Livraria Lello is said to have inspired J.K. Rowling while she lived in Porto.
🔹 Bridges with stories – Porto has six iconic bridges, each with its own charm. The Dom Luís I Bridge was designed by a student of Gustave Eiffel — and it shows.
💡 Special Tip:
Want to discover Porto through the eyes of someone who knows it? Stay at a hostel — you’re almost guaranteed to meet someone who just came back from exploring the city and will be more than happy (for some coffee and pastel de nata) to create a personal mini-tour just for you.
