I love Porto and want to go back after seeing your video. The street musician at 17:37! We saw him everyday outside our accommodation at Rua da Flores.
The most indepth and interesting travel info on Porto I have so far come across. as an over 50 single traveller looking forward to the delights of Porto this video was very informative. THANK YOU 🏴
This was quite informative and my client is excited about Porto. Im glad I was able to convince him to go to Lisbon and Porto for their first trip to Portugal.
I'm so glad you found it helpful. Please forward the Lisbon video to your client - it's also very informative. 😀 ruclips.net/video/a-xWayosp80/видео.html
You might think im crazy but ive been to Porto 13 times since 2015. Its only a 2 hour flight from the uk where i live. Its amazing and so beautiful and ive made friends and met some lovely people over the years. I know i will have a great time every time i go. My accommodation company has a shuttle service i get free transport from the airport and they take me back to the airport. I use the same company all the time they know me it saves me a lot of hassle. I also get a little discount on my stay.
If you can, YES, include Porto. Completely different "feel" between the two cities, if I can just pick one word. Honestly, between the two, I prefer Porto. And there's much to do in day trips from Porto. Porto is an easy bus or train ride from Lisbon (stop in Coimbra on the way - I have a video on it as well), if you want. I'd be interested to know if you choose to go to Porto and which city, Porto or Lisbon, you liked most and why. 😀@@TheresaofTheWorld
Very useful and informative! I am going to Portugal in January spending 3 days in Aveiro and then 3 days in Porto. Hope January is still as good as any other time
Glad it was helpful! You may just have colder weather and rain, but then again.... You'll enjoy it nonetheless, I'm sure. Have a fabulous time! And please, post here to let us know how your trip went in January.
You're most welcome. I hope it makes your planning easier. You'll love Porto in early October. I've been at that time and the weather was great. Your location is prime for nice sunset times by the water so you can see the rest of Porto a glow. It's lovely. Find a place outside for some port sipping and enjoy. Oh, and if you will, let us know how your trip went and your stay at that hostel. I always love to hear of good hostel recommendations for others to consider. 😁

Wonderful guidance and informative video. We are thinking of getting there at the end of december and hope that restaurants and shops are open as usual.
Great video and so much information! Visiting Porto from Nov 27 to Dec 1. Do you think it's a good idea to stay one night in Coimbra on our way to Lisbon, or do you think another night in Porto is better and a day trip to Coimbra? Thanks! Great options and I'm so excited to visit Portugal!
Hello! I'm so pleased you enjoyed the video and found it informative. I'm the type of person who wants to see and do as much as possible so, that said, I would recommend a day in Coimbra for sure. In fact, I did this before (Porto > Coimbra > Lisbon) by train. It all depends on how much energy you have. :-) I'm unsure where you're flying in from, but if you have the energy and time to maximize your first day in Porto (Nov. 27), you could do 3 days in Porto (see my 3 Days in Porto video for ideas of what you can do: ruclips.net/video/j2O7wZmPpi4/видео.html), do Coimbra on the 30th, and then leave Coimbra on the 1st to Lisbon. It is very doable. If it's too much, and you need time to relax on the 27th, either just stay in Porto and go direct to Lisbon, or add Coimbra and spend one less day in Lisbon (I don't now how long you're in Lisbon). For a day in Coimbra from Porto > Lisbon, check out my Coimbra videos: ruclips.net/video/ohFYHr-l8Ow/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/-dz12elbz68/видео.html. And the best for planning is my One Day in Coimbra (from Porto to Lisbon), which is right up your alley: www.corrtravel.com/1-day-in-coimbra-solo-travel-itinerary-and-guide/ I also have videos on Lisbon (15 Things to Know, Top 10 Things to Do on First Time Travel, and my Lisbon Itinerary) you may also want to watch. They are all in my Portugal Travel Playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLvYEWY9IO4X1wjfbTDmlwH0lAvbNFiDAw I hope this helps! Have a fabulous time in Portugal, my new home. :-)
@@laura_and_shanman Thanks so much! I really value your feedback. I will endeavor to create more great content. Why don't you join the Crew Email list: corrtravel.kit.com/e3f49b7916 I've got some EXCITING stuff rolling out next month. 😃 Enjoy your time in Portugal!
I will be in Porto with my husband for the first time the first 2 weeks of October. We were coming to look for apartments in Braga, but I'm starting to fall in love with Porto. What to do. What to do. An excellent, informative video. Thank you.
Oh, you'll have a great time in Porto in October. What to do... Well, I did a very relaxing 3 days in Porto and spent most of it out of Porto. Even to Braga for a day! I fell in love with Braga. Here, check out the itinerary video as it may help you with things to do: ruclips.net/video/j2O7wZmPpi4/видео.html Please also use the links in this video description and within the '3 Days in Porto' video description.

I moved here and I have videos on that, too. 😁 😁 😁
This was a great and very informative video. I look forward to my first trip to Porto in early September. I plan to stay a week. Would I need a coat during that time? Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! I hope you have a wonderful time. Please share your Porto travel insights here with us. 😃 It should still be quite warm in September. I would start checking the weather a few days before you leave so you know what to pack. Even if it is warm, I would bring a light jacket for the evening and/or dress in layers. Have fun!

Great video. Thank you so much for all you do. Going to Portugal in September out of my comfort zone I usually go to Italy 😂. Doing 3 days Lisbon 3 days Porto 5 Algarve and 2 back in Lisbon. How does it sound? Would you change it ? @CORRTravel
Oh, I LOVE Italy. It's hard to beat, right. 😂 Thank you for asking my opinion on my travel. The amount of time in each area sounds great. You can fit a lot in in each destination, plus you don't need a card to get between destinations (don't discount the bus as sometimes it may be quicker and cheaper than the train). I'm guessing you're flying roundtrip in/out of Lisbon, right? If you can (by airline miles?) I'd fly into Porto (warmer at that time) and make my way south ending in the Algarve to keep hitting prime weather (and being cooler in the Algarve). Then fly out of Faro. But if you can't do that, don't worry. Your plan is still good. And you shouldn't have to contend with any holidays in September. Don't forget to watch my other videos on Lisbon and Coimbra to help with planning. Touch back after your trip and let us know what you did and how it went!! 😃 🇵🇹
@@CORRTravelBuongiorno 😂. Thank you and I will keep in touch and let you know. Yes Italy is hard to beat. Flying in and out of Lisbon and enjoying 5 nights at Conrad in Algarve at backhand of trip. I’m thinking about doing extra night in Porto. It might be more of my vibe and adding Douro Valley but everyone says do Lisbon longer. Yes I have been definitely been watching your videos… I’m power watching 😂you are amazing
@@maxmater1311 Well, thank you for power watching. I'm pleased you like the channel. More videos will be coming! Well, if adding the Duoro Valley means adding a day to Porto, then YES. The Duoro Valley is a MUST. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site. Find the right small group tour where they pick you up, and take you for sites, lunch, river cruise and, yes, port tasting. See my video descriptions for suggested tour links, and other. It's a fun and informative day. Everyone has their Lisbon vs. Porto preference. It's subjective. Honestly, I think I like Porto better as there are so many more places to go to close by (approx. an hour or less) surrounding Porto easily accessible by train or bus. Like Guimarães or Braga. I love Braga. I'd spend 2 days in Porto, and then 2 days outside of Porto. Just MHO. Yes, please let us know about your trip, what you did and what you like best or least. Have fun!
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were kidding because there are SO many. 😀 All links are in the video description above. Click the "more" to show more in the video description. Let me know if you have any further questions. @@roseyposey9836
If you are asking if establishments and services in Porto accept credit cards, yes. Many do. You can do your hotel bookings on credit card, dine, do excursions, buy bus/train tickets, etc. on your credit card. I hope that helps!
I'm so pleased. Yah, I use my credit card alot when traveling and did so as well in Porto. Just try to always have some cash on you for emergencies, and tipping in cash is preferred.@@samirachagua5929
Yes, Porto is lovely and easy to spend more time there. I hope, though, you got to see and do what you wanted in Porto in those 3 days. If you have feedback on what you did in 3 days, please share it with the viewers. Thanks!
@@CORRTravel We did a pastel de nata cooking class, which was a nice low key fun event. Of course we did the obligatory Port wine tour and other touristy things. I would recommend skipping Livraria Lello unless you like being crammed like sardinhas just for a picture. As a book nerd, it didn't work well for me. There are amazing alfarrabistas (essentially antique book stores) in Porto. I went with a list of 9 to visit. It was very helpful to be able to speak about intermediate level Portuguese when going to these far less touristy places.
@@victorbehar804 The cooking class is a great idea. Thank you for sharing that recommendation to the viewers. Yes, a Porto visit would not be complete without port tasting and tours of some kind. Thank you for the information on Livraria Lello. I have not been so it is appreciated for the other viewers and would-be Porto visitor.
We’re in Porto now and as beautiful as it may be, It’s dirty,over crowded,full of beggars,people trying to sell you drugs,it has a massive homeless problem and parts of Vila Nova de Gaia are pretty unwelcoming.Big migrant problem and in the evenings away from the river you’d think you were in Delhi…to be honest if you want to eat anywhere other than by the side of a main road stick to the river,where you’ll be able to eat in relative peace other than people trying to sell you shite every five minutes….i definately won’t be returning….
LOL that Sounds you need to stay at home. If you think Porto has a immigrant problem be aware if Lisboa. I guess you have only visited the popular tourist trap restaurants😂😢. Many people are not made for visiting other cultures and country’s. Sounds you are one of them 😂.
I love Porto and want to go back after seeing your video. The street musician at 17:37! We saw him everyday outside our accommodation at Rua da Flores.
