What to see/do in Porto/Oporto, Portugal? |
Travel Info I am thinking about going to Porto in Portugal this summer or autumn and wonder what is a "must see" or "must do" in this picturesque city. Thanks! Travel Tips Hello. The official tourism office as a compreensive website: http://www.portoturismo.pt/en/init/defau... I live in Porto and can tell you what my foreign friends like most: Serralves Museum - a beautiful museum of contemporary art with magnificent gardens www.serralves.pt Casa da Musica (House of Music) is a great new building with good musical shows www.casadamusica.pt You can also taste good portuguese food at several restaurants. I personally recommend Casa Aleixo and D. Tonho (you can find adresses at the tourism website) A magnificent place to visit is Casa de Ch谩 da Boa Nova, a master work of the portuguese architect Alvaro Siza http://www.galinsky.com/buildings/boanov... You can also go to a bar or dance club like Triplex and several other. More information about night life in http://www.frommers.com/destinations/por... If you tell me more about your preferences i can tell you more of my personal choices. But i think you can guide yourself in the tourism office website. I hope this information was helpful!

Besides seeing a futebol game? lol, really one of my best memories is stopping along the Ribeiro at a new wine bar/restaurant that has been built into one of the old port caves along that part of the street, its run by an Englishman Mike and his Portuguese wife Rita Maria-Ther茅sa, it was a blustery spring day and we had a lovely bottle of Douro wine and strawberries and cream, it was a dream...they know and love the wine and food they sell and are always willing to chat...have fun! personal experence We have been to Porto many times. The travelogue from our most recent trip is here: http://www.thetravelzine.com Other travelogues are listed in the Read our Travelogues drop down menu or you can search for Porto from this page: http://www.thetravelzine.com/search.htm...
