How to Spend a First Time in Porto in 3 Days for an AMAZING Time | π΅πΉ Portugal Solo Travel
Video Overview & Insights
Watch how you can spend your first time in Porto Portugal with what I did on my 3 days in Porto alone, including how I arrived, where I stayed in Porto, top Porto sites and port tasting on foot, and my incredible day trips from Porto to Braga AND a Douro Valley wine tour!
Porto may just be the most underrated city in Europe and I've been fortunate enough to have seen many. I enjoyed it as much as Lisbon, although they are very different cities. It was my first ever solo trip, and since then, that's pretty much all I do. I did day trips to Coimbra, which I'm sure you enjoyed, and Aveiro, where a friend was living. Hoping to go back next year, maybe do day trips to Braga and Guimares, and maybe the Duoro River as well this time.
Use my Porto solo trip links - and MORE - below to save time and book your 3 days in Porto Portugal. Enjoy!

π΅πΉ MY PORTO 3 DAY ITINERARY:
Are Porto or Lisbon expensive cities to live in compared to Spanish cities? I have been hearing about a tremendous hike in prices over these past years. I heard they give people from the US visas.

Amazing video thanks. Very informative. How was the experience of climbing the 240 steps? Are there stops along the way? Drinking stations? Can a person quit mid way and get a lift? Haha. Or is it a case of once you start climbing you have to finish it?
