Spend half a day exploring Porto and experience what makes it so unique. From the historical landmarks to centuries of history around the city and bustling markets to a thriving contemporary art scene, your host will tailor an experience around your wishes.
Perhaps start by exploring the historic center of Porto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, showcasing magnificent Baroque architecture, ancient churches, and charming plazas. From there, you could head to Ribeira, where you'll find colorful buildings, traditional restaurants, bars, cafes, and breathtaking views of the Douro River.
