Say less! I’ll be in Portugal this May and my entire trip I just want to get lost in your country and have the best time EVER! I look forward to seeing what Portugal has to offer ☺️
The Lello and Brothers Bookstore used to be free for visitation, but due to the swarms of tourists entering everyday to take pictures and not buying anything, the stairs and the floor (on 19th century boards) became wobbly and damaged, the carpet had to be changed 4x per year and the real buyers would skip the place not to be hindered by visitors. The bookstore went through a complete restoration, spent nearly a year closed, and when it reopened it started doing the system shown above.
I was born in Porto and raised in the USA.... but now am living in Porto ...... and the quality of life in general and the relative safety is way better than most places in the so called developed world.
I've just come back from a lovely 3 days short break in Porto. Porto is beautiful and is certainly becoming a must see city break destination. Plenty of things to see and do, it's very reasonably priced, lots of great restaurants, cafes and bars, cheap and efficient public transport and we had 3 days of lovely March sunshine. Loved every minute.
That is not necessarily true... tourists who might read this, Porto is generally safe but SOME areas are not safe to be walking alone late in the night. Just get yourself well informed ahead!
As a woman travelling on my own I like to find safe places to travel. I live in Scotland and flights to Porto are really cheap and I think you have made up my mind I’ll definitely be visiting Porto 👍
Porto is a very charming city and easy to get to, I hope I can return to visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
I'm from Porto, but have been living in Lisbon for 5 years now. When I was younger, Porto always seemed to me very decadent, sad and grey. 15/10 years ago the streets were full of old abandoned buildings, there were almost no tourists and no lines for livraria lello. Porto just bloomed really fast, and it became beautiful. Although I still prefer Lisbon, I will be forever amazed and proud of Porto's growth.
Lisbon is for amateurs. Too bright. And lacking what Porto has - a truly old historical center. Pombaline grid system ruined the city for me. It's also way more spreadout making walking the city unfeasible.
We visited the algarve, Lisbon and Sintra. But we missed Porto and it sucks! We will come back to Portugal some day and visit Porto it looks incredibly Beautiful.
Be sure to visit the Douro Valley, Braga, Guimarães and Viana do Castelo among others! The north of Portugal is one of my favorite regions of Portugal and I will always love in particular Porto (my mother's city) and Braga (my University) . SAUDADE!
Hi there guys, welcome to my home. My family and i moved here 7 years ago, we moved to the mountain area and started a base for people to come and learn all about how to be sustainable. We live in a little broken down old village only a few old people left here, but they teach us their trick and tips for growing food all year round, we have been able to be self-sustaible for almost 5 years now. I am an artist, my husband does odd jobs around the villages to help the old people, and to pay some of the bills we have. There are always lots of beautiful things to see driving around our mountains, and there is the odd restaurant by the side of the road selling delicious mountain food, there are swimming pools in the summer, and there are natural fresh water rivers to swim in, the cleanest in Portugal, beautiful self service accommodation, with views to make you believe in magic the moment you wake. Here in our village we have a second hand clothes stall, goats for milking, fruit trees, olive trees, nut trees, all in abundance, yet there are no people here, a piece of paradise in the mountains. We also invite musicians to come and record their albums in our wine cellar studio. I have a blog if you would like to see, the things that go on here, pictures of the area, how to get about, and my little shop, with my art and our music page, check it out, help us keep self sustaining our world one family at a time... portugalmountains.blogspot.com inside my blog you can find links to buy our music. enjoy, keep up the good work in Portugal
I really want to travel to Porto, so thanks so much for your wonderful tips. The bookstore looks so magical...Love your choice of music and how the video is shot, edited and narrated.
I travelled to Porto & Lisbon during the previous World Cup (& I believe it was Pride too). I’m from Liverpool! I want to live in Porto or Lisbon because, quite frankly, they are two of the best cities I ever have been to (& that includes places like New York). I remember being at one of the bridges near Gaia & there were children charging small fees to “jump off.” I was envious. I wish I had this level of sun as a child, especially being a summer baby. I adore this country (& your common sense to drug laws & drug addiction, unlike my country, lead by an obese scarecrow with horrific teeth).
As a Porto inhabitant, I absolutely loved this video! You've only missed one thing, climbing up the Clérigos Tower, one of the best viewpoints of the whole city. Keep it up ;)
hi from Korea, I lived in Lisbon on and off for 6 months and liked it, but my favorite is Porto, the lively and nice..there..All-time favorite is Porto, walked Camino Portuguese for 2 times already, love Porto. The city of Arts..........for me, Love Porto the most. By the way, recently you guys were in Korea, thank you. and hope you can visit Jeonju, my town. The next time, pls let me know, I am a culinary tour guide for English speaking tourists, love to show you more of Jeonju...hidden for the locals..
@@samuelandaudrey oh, now I am in Praha traveling for a month myself... I sometimes wonder how you do the travels like these, Admire your energy~~^^ See you in Jeonju some time later..^^
I'm from Porto, born and raised in those beatiful streets, and i think you've should included the gardens of Palácio de Cristal...a great place to relax with some amazing sights
It is great to see your traveling channels that help me explore many different places without leaving my home town; and one day, I hope to have the chance to visit Porto, Portugal as well.
Spred Billys ashes in porto market, lovely place! On the 27th of march they will return and bring with them from dust the condemned of the old world 27658685334048954i5348534867348967634784368934768945973475983476349856732896734857237623857235972357239672367329674329674239675249067240957096769067469074366346363463463
Loved this blog, it has been so nice meeting both of your parents through your post. Your parents did a good job on you two, really shows! Happy travels.
Going to Porto next month! Very excited to know this beautiful city and explore Portugal for the second time! Lots of love from your brother country 🇧🇷
I loved watching your vídeo! Also loved the way you described Porto and couldnt agree more : “Lisboa is beautiful, Porto is magical” . We are grateful to hear from everyone who visits us such positive comments about Portugal! Welcome to Porto !
I'll be honest with you on this one : since the advent of ring bell cameras, every time I go out of the house I know I'm being filmed, therefore I'm careful to be on my best behaviour. Also, a lot of houses I walk by have cameras recording every single person walking on the street. Get used to the idea, just because you don't see them, doesn't mean they are not there and not recording. My next door neighbours both have those bells, I never encountered someone recording out in the street, so, if I had to choose...you get the idea.
Hi, Samuel and Audrey. Porto is a very underrated city in Portugal. I am not familiar with European Portuguese, but I am familiar with Brazilian Portuguese. I hope your trip to Stockholm, Sweden, and Sao Paulo, Brazil will be inspiring.
My recommendation in Porto is : visit Jardim do Morro in Vila Nova de Gaia and after the sunset have a dinner in Bistrô Bom Gosto, the same side of the river. They have a fantastic food.
Hi there, i have to thank you for coming to Portugal, and showing the good things we have in one of our cities. Realy pleasant to hear positive coments about it, i too love Porto, its old and magic. When you have a chance, come to Azores islands, we are Portguese but in midle of atlantic ocean. We have owesome nature sight and calm that you can definatly enjoy.
3:23 Well, the main train station of the city, Campanhã, is on the outskirts of the town and that's where most long course trains stop. If you'd want to end your journey on São Bento, you'd then have to change to some of the urban or regional trains (the urbans are cheaper and I believe you can use the andante card for those, which the card you use for the metro).
I didn’t go you guys. The flight operated normally but they would put me on quarantine and I wouldn’t be able to come back straight away and I would be put in quarantine where I live as well and I’m a key worker so...
OMG you guys are so cute!!! Thanks for visiting my country!! I'm from Porto and I'm so impressed, you guys say all the words and the names so perfectly :)) I'm really happy you liked my city Please come back
Já vos vi em Malaca lá tem cultura portuguesa, e eles tem muito orgulho na sua cultura felicidades e tudo de bom para vocês sois uns gaijos fixes saúde e muita felicidade.
Ah guys this was so great! We were there not so long ago (just last fall). Porto is majestic. And that book store right!? Would love to cross paths with you fellow Canadians. - Trevor (We're from Halifax)
We're off to Italy for the first 2 weeks in June. Then Greece for about a month! We must be just missing each other on our travels because we've been to a lot of the same places.
You guys made me discovering a really enchanting city....Your video is amazing as usual, full of interesting contents and informations. You're great!! Hugs from Milan!! Renata
i cant wait to go to portugal after covid-19 calms down a bit :( i already have my week's itinerary planned for porto, lisbon, sintra & cascais and im so excited :)
Thanks for the francesinha recommendation! I went to Bufete Fase tonight for dinner and my Porto francesinha experience was exactly like your video, right down to the extra french fries and sauce. Better than the francesinha place my travel guidebook highlighted.
Bufete Fase is really good! It's pretty much the only thing they cook but it's pretty good. I also love the one from Brasão and my favourite vegetarian is in Lado B (although I don't really enjoy their regular Francesinha). Yuko is nice but not located downtown. If you ever go to Braga, they have a restaurant "Taberna Belga" and they serve some amazing francesinhas there as well :D
Hey guys, I think you should include names of places you visit in the description below or as a text during the video, since it`s hard for you to pronounce them correctly, so it`s hard for us to understand exactly what are you talking about. Thanks for the video!
The only thing that was missing in your excelent travel guide was that the "other side", where all the wineries and cellars are located, isn't Porto but a totally different city called Vila Nova de Gaia. Most tourists think that Porto is on both sides of the river and this would've been a good opportunity to clear that. : )
Love Porto! It's my city. Now I am living out but I always miss it. And the food... Thanks for the video, Porto is so much more but it was really a nice video. ❤️
I'm planning to visit Portugal before the end of this month; thank you for this very helpful video. I'm sure your chocolates went really well with the 10 year old tawny.
As for the "francesinha", the bread is thick to better absorb the sauce. If the waiter notices there's no more sauce on your plate he brings up more, so it can be always properly moist. If you don't fancy meat, you can always ask for the chicken and even the vegetarian versions, some places do offer these "non-cannon" versions.
Hi Samuel and Audrey, I'm a recent subscriber of yours. I just came across your blog when I was surfing for new things related to Lisbon, a city I know so well. I was about to go there as a must given that the Eurovision Song Contest was taking place there early in May. It had been over ten year that I have last been to Portugal coming from Spain, and it was to Porto in 2014. When I saw that you had posted a video about that place I felt that I had to see it right away. You covered the right issues about that city to get people interested in going there, as you did with Lisbon. The last segment about the Francesinha was just perfect, as you do with everything related to food. The first thing that got me interested in being a subscriber of you blog was your accent and demeanaour, that brought back to me the memories of all the people that I have met in Canada, where I have lived for five years in diferent periods (Victoria and Kelowna B.C., but also also in Toronto most recently). Keep doing that endeavour you have taken as a mission that it sound so authentic, staingthforward and honest to me. Cheers, Miguel.
Thank you very much Miguel! We sure enjoyed visiting Porto. It has so much charm and we all loved it. Wow, that is really cool to hear! I'm actually from a small town on Vancouver Island called Gold River. It is close to Campbell River and Comox. That is really cool you lived in BC for a while. I sure miss my home province. I haven't been back since 2007 and Audrey has never visited so we're due for a visit out west soon.
Hi Samuel. Some of my most cherished and fond memories of my whole life go back to those two years I spent on your island in my twenties. The closest I went to Gold River was Tofino, at the north end of the Pacific Rim National Park, with Cathedral Grove as a memorable stop on the way there (Douglas-fir trees!!!). In Victoria I lived on Gladstone Avenue (we called our place Happy Rock). Another coincidence with you guys is that Brampton is also a place from where I have even more recent fond memories. While living in Toronto I used to spend many weekends there at a friends’ house on Mill Street, next door to downtown Brampton. When you finally take Audrey to your hometown on the West Coast, I’ll be expecting to see the best ever video of yours from Vancouver Island. Cheers, Miguel.
Thank you very much Miguel! That is so cool to hear. We've lived in the same areas. I'm really excited to show her and to make as many videos as possible. I hope we can visit soon :)
The only think, we people from Porto don ‘t understand why now ? Porto was allways beautiful since long time a go , in fact nothing change in this last 20 years. Why only now the people start notest the beauty of Porto. Makes no sence. The internet, the lowcost ,our fault maybe , but we who lives in Porto we found this phenomenom awkard , in Conclusion you are allways welcome here in Porto, obrigado
I don't know about others but I can tell you my point of view : everywhere I went, it looked like the whole world had the same idea, in short, very crowded, very noisy. We need space, we need quiet, we need to relax - it can only be achieved in less travelled places. Also, it's cooler than southern Portugal, I can't walk for miles if it's too hot.
OMG, you went to Portugal again. How lucky you are. I went to Portugal last December. Your last video helped me a lot. It’s definitely as good as you said. Porto is indeed a super charming city. I hope I can visit there again. Did you take the tram line 1(riverside line) along the Duro river? The whole ride was gorgeous. Even it was winter time, it was full of surprises. I’m grateful our B&B hostess recommended this.
Great video. Porto is also known for dishes like Sardines and Seabass, which they fry on the side walk, Barbeque style and serve to restaurant guests. This is near the harbour and they do the barbeque on the side walk.

If anyone is interested to come to Porto must know that the best way to see everything it's by foot and just get lost and explore ❤️❤️ love my city ❤️
Totally agree with you Marta!
I'm coming in April. Can't wait 😁
When is the best time to visit ?
Say less! I’ll be in Portugal this May and my entire trip I just want to get lost in your country and have the best time EVER!
I look forward to seeing what Portugal has to offer ☺️
I love your city so much❤️ would love to come back!
The Lello and Brothers Bookstore used to be free for visitation, but due to the swarms of tourists entering everyday to take pictures and not buying anything, the stairs and the floor (on 19th century boards) became wobbly and damaged, the carpet had to be changed 4x per year and the real buyers would skip the place not to be hindered by visitors. The bookstore went through a complete restoration, spent nearly a year closed, and when it reopened it started doing the system shown above.
Very understandable. I think this is a good solution.
And they will discount most of the money if you buy a book.
I still remeber when there were no lines and it was free
Karine Fonte fair enough the new visiting policies.. pay ticket entrance that is redeemed when you buy a book 😉 welcome to Porto to you all
People need to put their phones away and start living in the moment.
I was born in Porto and raised in the USA.... but now am living in Porto ...... and the quality of life in general and the relative safety is way better than most places in the so called developed world.
Porto is an incredible city.
Portugal is the developed world you mong..
@@pannenkoekspek He didn't said the contrary.
I like US cities espcialilly on the suburbs better but Portugal has no capital gains tax, so I'm planning to move back one day lol
I plan on moving to Portugal next year as a digital nomad.I’m debating between Lisbon and Porto. So far I’m leaning on Porto.
I've just come back from a lovely 3 days short break in Porto. Porto is beautiful and is certainly becoming a must see city break destination. Plenty of things to see and do, it's very reasonably priced, lots of great restaurants, cafes and bars, cheap and efficient public transport and we had 3 days of lovely March sunshine. Loved every minute.
I’m going solo to Porto in two weeks and honestly I’m just excited for all the food lol
That is so exciting to hear Ailin!
Peaceful Porto. Woman can walk alone in the streets in the night peacefully
That is great to hear.
That is not necessarily true... tourists who might read this, Porto is generally safe but SOME areas are not safe to be walking alone late in the night. Just get yourself well informed ahead!
Yes that's not entirely true, some places at night should defenetly be avoided
but SOME areas are not safe??? Really? I did not know. Where are those areas? Tell me.
joão A. C. Ribeira, Trindade, etc... But I have a feeling you already know this... Do you disagree?
One of my favourite cities in the world. Was really fortunate to visit twice. I hope to move and live in Portugal real soon.
That is great to hear Jody!
As a woman travelling on my own I like to find safe places to travel. I live in Scotland and flights to Porto are really cheap and I think you have made up my mind I’ll definitely be visiting Porto 👍

Porto has so much to offer - from the most delicious wine in the world to beaches and cool architecture 😍😍😍
My son is a chef near Porto. He cooks all and only Portuguese dishes and we’re English. A steep learning curve.
Loved Porto, went last month.x
That is really cool to hear. Is he enjoying living there?

Yes. He has a baby daughter with a Portuguese lass.

THank you very much! That means a lot coming from a local. I hope we can climb up the tower next time.
You're welcome!
Hi, I'm hoping to follow this itinerary when my family visit in June, at which point should I insert the Clérigos Tower? Thanks

This is a helpful video for planning a visit to Porto, as long as your tolerance for obnoxious influencers on camera is high
I'll be honest with you on this one : since the advent of ring bell cameras, every time I go out of the house I know I'm being filmed, therefore I'm careful to be on my best behaviour. Also, a lot of houses I walk by have cameras recording every single person walking on the street.

My next door neighbours both have those bells, I never encountered someone recording out in the street, so, if I had to choose...you get the idea.
My daughter would absolutely love that book store. Might have to add it to our bucket list, thanks for sharing :)
Thank you! That is cool to hear. Definitely a must visit if in Porto.
Now that I got 20% Portuguese on my DNA test, I'm even more interested on visiting Portugal.
Very cool to hear!
Hi, Samuel and Audrey. Porto is a very underrated city in Portugal. I am not familiar with European Portuguese, but I am familiar with Brazilian Portuguese. I hope your trip to Stockholm, Sweden, and Sao Paulo, Brazil will be inspiring.

Thanks! That is great to hear.
3:23 Well, the main train station of the city, Campanhã, is on the outskirts of the town and that's where most long course trains stop. If you'd want to end your journey on São Bento, you'd then have to change to some of the urban or regional trains (the urbans are cheaper and I believe you can use the andante card for those, which the card you use for the metro).
Porto is easily best City in Europe , amazing thanks for sharing
Thank you! We just loved visiting - all 4 of us :)
London, Madrid, Amsterdam first
Venice is so much better
@@marianacaffaro Nope. been in all, porto is better

I’m going to Porto in April. I really hope my flight won’t get cancelled because of coronavirus
Wishing you the best with that Elena.
Elena Tse bad luck brian
@@paulomen22 how did it go?
I didn’t go you guys. The flight operated normally but they would put me on quarantine and I wouldn’t be able to come back straight away and I would be put in quarantine where I live as well and I’m a key worker so...
@Dream Dream Serene erm u ever think people didn’t expect a virus. Wtf wud u even ask this question? Smh
I really enjoyed your down to earth educational clip. Makes me want to go to Portugal 😍🤩
OMG you guys are so cute!!! Thanks for visiting my country!! I'm from Porto and I'm so impressed, you guys say all the words and the names so perfectly :)) I'm really happy you liked my city

Thank you , we take your suggestions. Special the Francesinha.
Já vos vi em Malaca lá tem cultura portuguesa, e eles tem muito orgulho na sua cultura felicidades e tudo de bom para vocês sois uns gaijos fixes saúde e muita felicidade.
Ah guys this was so great! We were there not so long ago (just last fall). Porto is majestic. And that book store right!? Would love to cross paths with you fellow Canadians. - Trevor (We're from Halifax)
Thanks! That is great to hear. Where are you traveling to next? Would be great meet-up on the road.
We're off to Italy for the first 2 weeks in June. Then Greece for about a month! We must be just missing each other on our travels because we've been to a lot of the same places.
We like Samuel’s hair in this one. Your camera comes across so clearly. Gorgeous video. We’re going there again in Sept 2025.
You guys made me discovering a really enchanting city....Your video is amazing as usual, full of interesting contents and informations. You're great!! Hugs from Milan!! Renata
Thank you very much! We sure enjoyed visiting.
Love love LOVE Milano!!!!
Going to Porto in June, it looks so beautiful
Great to hear! It is a fantastic city to visit.
i cant wait to go to portugal after covid-19 calms down a bit :( i already have my week's itinerary planned for porto, lisbon, sintra & cascais and im so excited :)
Great to hear Tori! Hope you can visit soon.
Thanks for the francesinha recommendation! I went to Bufete Fase tonight for dinner and my Porto francesinha experience was exactly like your video, right down to the extra french fries and sauce. Better than the francesinha place my travel guidebook highlighted.
Thank you very much! That is so cool to hear. Ah, we miss that place. How long will you be in Porto?
Bufete Fase is really good! It's pretty much the only thing they cook but it's pretty good. I also love the one from Brasão and my favourite vegetarian is in Lado B (although I don't really enjoy their regular Francesinha). Yuko is nice but not located downtown. If you ever go to Braga, they have a restaurant "Taberna Belga" and they serve some amazing francesinhas there as well :D
Só boas recomendações. A taberna belga é praticamente o unico sitio onde janto sempre que vou a Braga. Abraço Portuense :D
Tbh is not even the best one in Porto
Hey guys, I think you should include names of places you visit in the description below or as a text during the video, since it`s hard for you to pronounce them correctly, so it`s hard for us to understand exactly what are you talking about.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks! That is a great suggestion Yana.
portugal is my dream. I love this country.
Cool to hear!
Thanks
The only thing that was missing in your excelent travel guide was that the "other side", where all the wineries and cellars are located, isn't Porto but a totally different city called Vila Nova de Gaia. Most tourists think that Porto is on both sides of the river and this would've been a good opportunity to clear that. : )
Thank you! I wish we had an extra day in Porto to highlight that more. Our time was a bit rushed.
Great video. Helped me decide if the city is worth being on my priority list. I loved Lisbon and from what I've seen I will love Porto too. Thanks.
Thank you! That is awesome to hear.
Love Porto! It's my city. Now I am living out but I always miss it. And the food... Thanks for the video, Porto is so much more but it was really a nice video. ❤️
Paula Felix Machado Why did you move? It's a beautiful place
Thanks for the guide! Love the shots you took, definitely have to see the bookstore and the blue tiles in person when I visit this New Years
Thank you! Hope you have a great visit.
Wonderful video. Going here in Sept 2022.
I saw the english ans spanish version of this video in 2022... great video.. I learn a lot.. regards ..
Thanks Freddy! We miss Porto!
I'm going on Wednesday ! I can't wait after watching your video . Thank you very much for it ! ❤
Good stuff going there next month, We.ll have a good time :) thanks for your video
Enjoy your trip, Jonathan!
I'm planning to visit Portugal before the end of this month; thank you for this very helpful video. I'm sure your chocolates went really well with the 10 year old tawny.
Thank you! Hope you have a great trip!
As for the "francesinha", the bread is thick to better absorb the sauce. If the waiter notices there's no more sauce on your plate he brings up more, so it can be always properly moist.
If you don't fancy meat, you can always ask for the chicken and even the vegetarian versions, some places do offer these "non-cannon" versions.
Predivan grad ,sutra bih preselio da zivim...lijepo .poz.za PORTO.
Another great vlog guys, nice to see your dad on board, always interesting and informative, and with some humour, keep up the good work i am a big fan
Thank you very much Billy! It was fun to film with him.
Hi Samuel and Audrey, I'm a recent subscriber of yours. I just came across your blog when I was surfing for new things related to Lisbon, a city I know so well. I was about to go there as a must given that the Eurovision Song Contest was taking place there early in May. It had been over ten year that I have last been to Portugal coming from Spain, and it was to Porto in 2014. When I saw that you had posted a video about that place I felt that I had to see it right away. You covered the right issues about that city to get people interested in going there, as you did with Lisbon. The last segment about the Francesinha was just perfect, as you do with everything related to food. The first thing that got me interested in being a subscriber of you blog was your accent and demeanaour, that brought back to me the memories of all the people that I have met in Canada, where I have lived for five years in diferent periods (Victoria and Kelowna B.C., but also also in Toronto most recently). Keep doing that endeavour you have taken as a mission that it sound so authentic, staingthforward and honest to me. Cheers, Miguel.
Thank you very much Miguel! We sure enjoyed visiting Porto. It has so much charm and we all loved it. Wow, that is really cool to hear! I'm actually from a small town on Vancouver Island called Gold River. It is close to Campbell River and Comox. That is really cool you lived in BC for a while. I sure miss my home province. I haven't been back since 2007 and Audrey has never visited so we're due for a visit out west soon.
Hi Samuel. Some of my most cherished and fond memories of my whole life go back to those two years I spent on your island in my twenties. The closest I went to Gold River was Tofino, at the north end of the Pacific Rim National Park, with Cathedral Grove as a memorable stop on the way there (Douglas-fir trees!!!). In Victoria I lived on Gladstone Avenue (we called our place Happy Rock). Another coincidence with you guys is that Brampton is also a place from where I have even more recent fond memories. While living in Toronto I used to spend many weekends there at a friends’ house on Mill Street, next door to downtown Brampton.
When you finally take Audrey to your hometown on the West Coast, I’ll be expecting to see the best ever video of yours from Vancouver Island. Cheers, Miguel.
Thank you very much Miguel! That is so cool to hear. We've lived in the same areas. I'm really excited to show her and to make as many videos as possible. I hope we can visit soon :)
Fabulous video! We will be in Porto in July, thank you for the tips and prices. Love your Parents!
Thank you! That is really exciting to hear. It should be much warmer then.
I'm glad you're not allowed to film inside the church. People need to start living in the moment !!
Yeah, I'm in favor of that from this perspective.
The only think, we people from Porto don ‘t understand why now ? Porto was allways beautiful since long time a go , in fact nothing change in this last 20 years. Why only now the people start notest the beauty of Porto. Makes no sence. The internet, the lowcost ,our fault maybe , but we who lives in Porto we found this phenomenom awkard , in Conclusion you are allways welcome here in Porto, obrigado
I don't know about others but I can tell you my point of view : everywhere I went, it looked like the whole world had the same idea, in short, very crowded, very noisy. We need space, we need quiet, we need to relax - it can only be achieved in less travelled places. Also, it's cooler than southern Portugal, I can't walk for miles if it's too hot.
I'm about to make a trip to Porto by the end of this month. This video is really helpful.
We're happy to hear that. Wishing you a wonderful trip to Porto! 😊
OMG, you went to Portugal again. How lucky you are. I went to Portugal last December. Your last video helped me a lot. It’s definitely as good as you said. Porto is indeed a super charming city. I hope I can visit there again.
Did you take the tram line 1(riverside line) along the Duro river? The whole ride was gorgeous. Even it was winter time, it was full of surprises. I’m grateful our B&B hostess recommended this.
Thank you! That is really cool to hear. No we didn't get a chance to do that. It sounds totally awesome though.
Douro river you mean .
Laus Ant Yes, I misspelled it.
It should be Douro river. Thank you for the correction.
You guys ate so cute!! Yum!!!
Here I come for uefa champion league...Porto gorgeous🕊🕊🕊
COol to hear
Great video. Porto is also known for dishes like Sardines and Seabass, which they fry on the side walk, Barbeque style and serve to restaurant guests. This is near the harbour and they do the barbeque on the side walk.
That is great to hear!
Great video on Porto. Thank you so much for the great ideas!!
Thanks Jenny! Hope you have a great visit.
I love this video, I love the paretns there, they are so cute. I wish i wpuld travel with my parents too..

Porto is a nation...as the locals would say. You can fell the weight of the traditions there...
You certainly can feel that even as a visitor.
