Porto is the second largest city in Portugal and the one that gave the country its name. Since 1996 its historic center is classified as World Heritage by UNESCO. A city with historical monuments, century-old bridges, parks, sea and the magnificent Douro River. Not to mention the typical gastronomy of the region, namely the famous specialties of the region: from Francesinha, to Tripas à Moda do Porto and Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá.
In 2001 it was considered the European Capital of Culture. Famous also for the wine cellars of Porto, for the quality of its restaurants, for its gastronomy, the city also has several cultural spaces of reference such as the Serralves Museum, the Casa da Música, the Lello Bookstore, and others.
A city full of life that is known for arts, research, innovation and entrepreneurship. Porto was voted Europe's Best City Break Destination in 2020, and the best European destination in 2017 for the third time in a row.

We don't have parking, like practically all the buildings in the in historic center. However, there are several options for parking nearby. Either on the street at parking meters or in parking lots.
The closest park is the Ferreira Borges Market park, but expensive!
O Crystal Palace Park is the cheapest. There are other parks closer to the B28, such as the Palácio da Justiça Park next to the courthouse. To enter this park you have to be careful, you have to pass in front of the emergency room at Hospital Santo António and watch out for the traffic lights, go down behind the Palácio da Justiça and then up the street just in front of Cooperativa Árvore. The entrance to the park is on the right-hand side and the Praça de Lisboa Park.
You can always try parking in Passeio da Virtudes, Largo das Taipas, Largo de São João Novo all have parking meters and the rates are cheaper than those on Rua Ferreira Borges.

On the riverside on the way to Foz there are two very nice pizzerias 'Nhac-Nhac' e 'House of Gold'.

We also recommend a visit to Guripa House. It's a 20-minute drive from Angeiras, a fishing village just north of Porto. It's very good!

Going up by cable car in Gaia (with a beautiful view) leads to the Morro garden, cross the Luís I bridge in upper deck before going to the Cathedral, it's worth going to Guindais, to Guindalense for a "very typical" drink then go through SÉ/Episcopado down to the Grilos church (huge Baroque façade but with a small body, in a small square for the size of the façade, very characteristic of the Baroque) with beautiful views, right next to it is Largo da Pena Ventosa and then go down the medieval alleys that lead to Mouzinho da Silveira, next to Largo São Domingos.
An unforgettable experience: climbing the Arrábida Bridge
