[ Google Review ] Amazing value for money, the meal was great, the side salad was crisp and the bacalhau con nata was superb. Also the beef was great and they clearly put a lot of effort in the side dishes as well, for example the rice was cooked perfectly and was nice and aromatic. We had a nice secluded spot outside with perfect sun/shadow ratio. Also, the wine portions are very generous! Would have wanted to know about this place before so I could come here every day during my trip. Please, if you're too hungry to wait in line for their neighbours tapas, just go next door and enjoy!

[ Google Review ] One of the best I’ve had. They put a lot of effort into their product as well as the atmosphere. Very welcoming, very fun. And love that they serve it hot. Crispy on the outside but gooey on the inside. Delicious.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] Average place, average food and average service. Waiting in front of the place to be entered by a waiter and the word 'prestige' suggested it's a nice place with excellent food but... I'd say, nothing special. The waitresses seemed a bit lost, food is mediocre, and prices are a bit higher than in other places. That's funny you must be assisted by a waiter to left the place.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] It’s a “wine cultural center” with restaurants and “museums” but don’t expect a real museum but more of a kitschy one. We visited 2 museums, the wine museum and pink palace. The first one of an interactive-wannabe place, some interesting information and ends with 3 small wine tasting. The guy did his best so no complaints on him. The pink palace is the most kitschy place I have recently visited but they offer 5 rose wine tastings and they’re generous and because of the alcohol it’s quite fun in the end. It is a place that’s more suitable to children if you ask me (minus the wine tastings) so visit it if you want to burn 2-3 hours

Notes:

[ Google Review ] Very nice cathedral and its monastery. The central courtyard is beautiful and gives access to many other rooms and chapels. You can also access the top of the Bell tower and get a nice view. You can also buy the full tour ticket for 6€ which gives access to the Palace next to the cathedral. It's an important spot to visit, definitely recommended.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] The castle is a great place to see the city of Porto as a whole. You will need to climb some stairs to reach the top floor but the view is definitely worth it. You can buy a combined ticket and also visit the Bishop’s Palace. The interior is amazing, the inner decoration, paintings on the wall and the architecture are all astonishing. A single ticket is 3 Euros and you can buy a combined ticket for 6 Euros.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] This bridge. It’s just stunning. Its like the centre piece in an art gallery. It ties the city together. Quite literally. There is no path by it. You will cross it a lot, either on food or in the Metro. And you’ll love it. What a mere steel structure can conjure up is simply amazing. Can’t miss in any list in Porto. 100% Full recommendation! 👌🏽🤩

[ Google Review ] Mercado Beira-Rio, Porto: The only market on the Vila Nova de Gaia stretch, it’s packed packed packed with locals and tourists alike. Take your pick from the local fav’s such as cod pies or all sorts of pies, chocolate delights, Brazilian specialities, Bacalhau this that, pinxtos, etc. Wash down with local beer and wine. #eatstylishtravelstylish Almoço

Notes:

[ Google Review ] Beautiful church, interesting the visit in the little hidden house. A very pleasant experience if you want to feel the history. We had a climb on the terrace where we could see from the top the beautiful plaza down. The visit is short, but interesting, mostly the layout of the interior.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] The Gorgeous Fountain of the Lions (Portuguese: Fonte dos Leões), is a 19th-century fountain built by French company Compagnie Générale des Eaux pour l'Etranger, in the civil parish of Cedofeita, Santo Ildefonso, Sé, Miragaia, São Nicolau e Vitória in the municipality of Porto. Cast by the Val d’Osne foundry in France, it is a copy, in most parts, of the fountain in the Town Hall Square of Leicester, England.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] Wow. Full recommendation right away. It’s so worth visiting this place. Even just for the look. you don’t have to get one of the books there to appreciate how awesome it looks. And if you are a Harry Potter fan this is a must anyway. Just book online in advance and the waiting time is kept to a mere 10-15 minutes. Go see it!

Notes:

[ Google Review ] A point of interest to visit with history. The ticket price per adult is 6 euros, but it is worth it. Besides visiting the tower with a 360° view of the city of Porto, you can also visit a small museum of religious wood sculptures and the church through balconies. The view from the top of the tower is spectacular, but wear a jacket because is cold and windy. As you go up the tower the stairs get narrower until only fit one person.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] A very nice museum work detailed history of the 'Misericordiae mission' its influence on the building up of Porto. Especially with regard to the San Antonio hospital. The highlight, for me, was the visit to the chapel. Smaller in size compared to the v churches around it, but equally beautiful.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] Amazing place with lots of history and fun with guides. Arabic room is stunning. Make sure to visit it while in Porto. The only downside is that tickets are sold only there and you would need to queue for quite a long time during pick hours. Take umbrella and lots of cold water to avoid overheating.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] First off, I think this church is worth visiting. The woodwork inside is spectacular and richly detailed. There’s also a chapel with rich details as well, and there are catacombs. Note that this is no longer a working church, but a monument. He will not be able to take pictures inside the church itself. You can buy a nice guide for 1€.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] Based on the comments from the residents. Back in the day, the government tried to seize this church and use it as a city hall. The church refused.... the Governemtn then built a bigger opulent building right in front... What's different from the interior is the amount of openings/balconies it has... it kinda feels like a theatre

Notes:

[ Google Review ] Please go! I was very hesitant as the reviews were very bad. However, i had a great experience. Atmosphere: unbeatable as you are in front of the river with a lot of things happening on the street. Nice view. Service l: we had a great one, but it could take a while for you to be served. It is very turistic and full of people so J fuess you have to be patient. Food: Great taste and very surprised by the size and the quality l. We ordered steak and fish, and all was great! Prices: I guess it depends on what you get, but we ended up paying $20 each with an appetizer to share, wine, and dessert to share. Not bad for the location

Notes:

[ Google Review ] This airport is pretty small so traveling through is quick and easy. However there is only one woman’s restroom with 9 stalls and right after I went in it was closed for cleaning. There is also only one water bottle refilling station, creating a ling line. Security is quick, take the elevator afterwards if you want to avoid the duty free gauntlet.
