Porto

Day 1-2
On our first day, after checking in our beautiful apartment, we will explore Porto by strolling through the streets, going to the famous double-decked bridge and check out the quarter of Ribeira. The natural stone houses with red roof tiles were crumbling away but today the waterside neighbourhood of Ribeira has been beautifully restored. Let`s enjoy our first authentic dinner in a local restaurant.
