Livraria Lello

This is considered the most spectacular bookstore in the entire world! Especially if you are a bookworm, strolling around all types of book genres will make you feel heavenly.

Located right in the heart of the city, it also serves as an emblem of the Portuguese heritage. Moreover, the neogothic architecture combined with the availability of Harry Potter trivia turns the bookstore into something unique, and worth visiting.

Café Santiago

If you have not tried the typical Portuguese sandwiches, this is your sign to go ahead and do so! These are called Francesinhas, which surprisingly translates to “little French lady”. After a whole day of exploring, you deserve to unwind and indulge in the tastes of Porto.

However, we advise you to go in at an earlier hour so you can make sure not to get into a never-ending line! We hope you are not a vegetarian/vegan because Francesinha is all about meat!

Morro Garden

What is so special about this garden? Well, catching the sunset from this viewpoint will make your trip to Porto complete. It is located close to the D. Luís bridge and the best part of Porto, which is the historical town, is emphasized at dawn.

Even if it is not about the sunset, just enjoying the greenery around Porto, this park must be your to-go destination. Lots of tourists choose to have picnics and enjoy the sun during the day as well.

Clérigos Tower

Don’t worry, it is not just another tower. If you like to be more active during your trip, we recommend you climb up its stairs for a breathtaking view.

It is an essential landmark of Porto, hence most tourists suggest it as a primary attraction. In other words, it is just like not visiting the Tour Eiffel when going to Paris.

Its architect took around nine years to complete the tower because of the uneven street on which it was built. Therefore, it holds plenty of historical facts within, which you can’t miss discovering
