Ribeira

Put on your walking shoes and explore the curves and hills of Porto’s cutest neighborhood, Riberia. Getting lost in Riberia was definitely one of my favorite things to do during my 3 days in Porto!

Porto Cathedral

One of the many beautiful churches in the area. You can choose to enter or simply admire from the outside.

Cervejaria Brasão Aliados

This centrally located spot is packed every night with tourists and locals alike showing up to try their version of the local Francesinha Sandwich. Literally named “the little French girl”, this famous dish is a combination of bread, cheese, and meat (or vegetables) fried and served in a beer-based sauce. Make sure you arrive before it opens or reserve a table!

Fábrica da Nata - Pastéis de Nata

I did my fair share of sampling Pastel de Natas throughout my 3 days in Porto, and Fabrica de Nata definitely takes the cake! Prepared fresh throughout the day, their warm, flaky pastries are a must during a trip to Porto!
