Porto Weekend Itinerary, Porto, Portugal
Though you could definitely live in Porto for six months and not get bored, you can enjoy the city鈥檚 highlights in one action-packed weekend. Here is how.
Start with quick bite on the popular walking street Rua Flores, where you can enjoy a coffee and custard tart at聽Nata Lisboa. There are plenty of other options if you are looking for a bigger breakfast. Rua Flores puts you in the perfect location to your first few stops of the day. After your fuel up, you鈥檙e less than 10 minutes away from the聽Porto Cathedral. It鈥檚 free to enter, and stunning inside and out. Because it鈥檚 so high compared to the surroundings, you can also get a pretty good view of the city聽from the courtyard of the cathedral.
Afterwards, you can go back up the street toward Saint Anthony鈥檚 Church Congregados. From that point, the street stretches toward the Church of Saint Ildefonso on the right and toward Clerigos Tower on the left. There are a couple of great places to get lunch near the Church of Saint Ildefonso so if hunger is already creeping in, hang a right. Just past the church, you鈥檒l pass聽Santa Francesinha, where you can get the traditional Porto sandwich that gives the restaurant its name. On the same street is聽Casa Guedes, which I implore you not to miss. The no-frills kitchen makes the best pork sandwiches I鈥檝e ever had. You can make it a long lunch and sit outside with a few beers. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
