Guided trip
Don't you hate when you pick a next trip and all the travel books have the exact same suggestions of spots to go ? Or worst! All the travel guides have a very strict route to follow, and you don't get any tips of what you really wanted to know! Wouldn't you rather have a more customized experience? Well, you're in luck because this weekend getaway to Porto is just what you're looking for! In this trip, we would not only see some of the most important landmarks of the 2nd largest city of Portugal but, we'll pay special attention to the local culture, the independent business that exist here in Porto. From music, to art, markets, shops, food, movies, we'll cover a bit of all. You'll discover things the locals take years to know. 📍 Itinerary: Friday: starting at 6 pm on going: arrival and having dinner at a restaurant close to the accommodation to get to know each other. Around 11pm: return to accommodation at hostel in the city center. Saturday: The whole day, from morning until evening, will be spent getting to know the city center. Some spots might include but are not limited to: The Porto art District, Mercado do Bolhão, Parque das Virtudes, Flea Market, Cinema Batalha, Shopping, Sunday: Stroll by the seaside 💰 Included: - Accommodation at a Hostel -Selina Porto in a shared room and en suite bathroom (for our group only) - public transport (€6 per person per day) - food (€25 per person per meal) - lunch and dinner (breakfast included in accommodation) Drinks during meals and desert must be within budget Not Included: - Meals over Budget - Drinks outside meals - Transportation from/to airport/train station/Bus Terminal to accommodation Max. no. of people: 4 Female only However, this trip is fully customizable: we'll have a small meeting before the trip to know what everybody wants from it and to get some things straight. If it's the first time coming to Porto, what you want to see the most, etc. Because even if I suggest going to the port wine cellars, and you don't want to, guess what? We won't go! It's up to you!

PortoBaixa

Day 2-3
This will be our big day of the trip! We'll be the full day exploring the city center by foot. Making some breaks along the way for meals and free time, of course. Expect a bunch o different things from history and tradition to art and novelty. Although the route is pretty much defined—from our hostel in cedofeita to the Sé Catedral at Ribeira - there are many paths to take and spots to visit. Those can be: - The art Galleries and shops at the Porto Art district - The Flea Market - Virtudes Park - Mercado do Bolhão - Café Majestic - Maus Hábitos - Cinema Batalha - Mon Pére Vintage store - and many more among other shops, restaurants and museums

Day 3
After a long and tiring day, nothing better than a relaxing day by the seaside. There isn't much to say here but that the point of this day is to enjoy and relax before our trip is over. My suggestion is to go in the tram that leaves not far from the hostel (but we really must be on time) which is beautiful and very Portuguese. Not far from the beach there is The Serralves Museum which has a great park (but is quite expensive) and the public park as well. For lunch, I suggest a picnic in the park or at the beach.
