Endless summer, Porto sunset train

Coming to Porto is like walking into an endless summer. This European sunset city, every frame is like a movie. Compared to Lisbon, I prefer the less popular here. Porto is not big, a day tour is completely enough. These few spots must be checked in❗️ 1️⃣Sunset viewing platform 📍Miradouro da vitoria You can take a panoramic view of the Luis I Bridge and the Douro River. 📍Miradouro da Serra do Pilar The sunset train panorama is almost all shot here, and the nearby Hill garden can also see the sunset. 2️⃣Unique blue and white porcelain wall 📍Capela das Almas 📍Sao Bento Staion The train station paved with blue and white porcelain. 📍Chapel of Souls 📍Igreja do Carmo The blue and white porcelain exterior walls of these two are very exquisite. 3️⃣Casa Museu Fernando de Castro A small museum recommended by locals, with many art collections. 4️⃣Lello Bookstore It is said to be the place that inspired JK Rowling to write Harry Potter, and the stairs in the bookstore are very cinematic. 🥩Vaccarum A steakhouse that I accidentally walked into next to the homestay I stayed in, it's delicious and large in portion, and the price is not expensive.

Luís I Bridge
Porto has surely gained a lot of attention over the last few years, and for good reasons: it’s vibrant, colorful, easy, not expensive at all and you can get everywhere on foot! As soon as I stepped out of the São Bento station right before sunset I was invested by the energy of this city and started exploring every part of it, starting from the Dom Luis I bridge over the Douro river, which is definitely the first stop I suggest to have a fantastic view of Porto and its prominent Ribeira district. What I loved the most was wandering through its steep, colorful alleys that are still incredibly authentic and mostly untouched. Put in some good, comfortable shoes then get lost in this part of the city. At the top of the city there are some incredible churches, like Igreja do Carmo and Capela das almas: these two have some amazing facades entirely covered by tens of thousands of blue tiles called “azulejos”. You can see these azulejos across the city in other spots too, including the station as mentioned earlier of São Bento. A 15-minute bus or train ride will get you to the beach to breath in some air from the Atlantic Ocean. You can either go to the lighthouse at Foz do Douro or head over to Senhor da Pedra’s beach, notable for its small church on the rocks! A visit to Porto (and Portugal in general) is not complete without eating a lot of pasteis de nata as well. They sell these yummy pastries everywhere, but some places are better than others: don’t miss those at Mantegaira and Combi cafè! #portugal #porto #ribeira #azulejos #travel #awesomepic
