What to do in Porto in 72 Hours — Things to do in Porto, Portugal
3 days in Porto. A vibrant Portuguese city on North bank of Douro River !!
Porto is an ideal place for short vacations. The city offers a perfect combination of culture, architecture, history and traditional Portuguese Cuisine. We had 3 amazing days in Porto.
We were in Guimarães for an Erasmus exchange. After attending the Erasmus in Guimarães We took the train to Porto Sao Bento (Porto Central Train Station). The train costs € 3.60 from Guimarães to Porto.
First Day in Porto:
We booked an apartment in city center via Booking.com. After dropping our bags, We went straight to the Santa Catarina Street the main pedestrian walkway in old center. It has all the well known International and local brands. We always like to explore the fashion streets to get the feel of the city. The city center also has a Via Catarina shopping mall which has a traditional architecture and unique interior.
The best way to explore Porto is by walk. There are so many hidden gems which can be missed out or remained unexplored if you don’t like to walk. Porto is slightly hilly…
