48 HOURS IN PORTO - Best Places to Visit in 2024 

I think the station that inspired "Kings Cross station in Harry Potter" is King's cross station.

Porto is such an understated beauty. Paris and Rome may be more grand and opulent, but Porto has that indescribable something that can't be matched

As a Canadian who is looking to winter and eventually move to Portugal, Oporto has my heart. My favourite day is taking the bus to a restaurant at the far end of the ocean boulevard for breakfast then walking back to the Port houses. A stop in Afurada (a small quaint fishing neighbourhood) for lunch a must. It’s a long walk, 2-3 hours with stopping along the way for pictures but it’s mostly flat. After a Port, head up to Jardim de Morro for the sunset and hopefully there will be a live band. Walk up the (steep) hill behind the park to Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar for some even more stunning views. Oporto/ Gaia have some really amazing miradouros (scenic lookouts), you definitely need to stay longer just to see all of them. 😊

I am proudly Portuguese, and a daughter of Portugal. Obrigada Dave, for the wonderful videos of Portugal. It simply fills my heart with so much warmth and saudades. Até a próxima❤️🇵🇹❤️

I love this city so much! Sadly, I am not living in Portugal any longer and I feel a lot of "saudades". Thank you for your video, it brought tears to my eyes.

Dave!! You are the only one that explained "O PORTO" THE PORT. Claro, moço! O Porto é uma nação carago 💪 No Porto (in the port) é só gente de carácter forte, de simpatia única! Viva o norte, o povo mais forte 💪 I am from Peniche but my mother is from Gaia. Loved my mothers side family. Ppl from that region are very unique. Great channel Dave! Keep it up. You turned the best YTer about Portugal. Hugs from Switzerland ❤

You're in my hometown Dave. Watching your videos, particularly this one, from where we live here in California fills us with saudades. We'll definitely move back eventually, we'll be there for a couple months from April to june, can't wait. Also, often friends and colleagues ask me for a list of places to visit in Porto, it's always kinda hard to come up with a good list but you actually did a pretty good job at it, and this from someone who was born and raised there. 🙏 Obrigado! Thank you for taking good care and featuring our country Dave, it means a lot. ❤️

I stumbled upon your videos while I was visiting Lisbon for the first time! I debated whether to visit Porto and this video helped me decide. Right now I’m on a train headed there! Thanks!

I'm from Lisbon, live in Ericeira, but I love the city of Porto. Everything is beautiful there. About the Treaty of Windsor, It is actually the oldest diplomatic alliance in the world still in force, it was signed on May 9, 1386. Let me tell you, an anemone (in portuguese anémona) is like a flower in the sea.

Obrigado for loving Portugal and the people so much. Next time in Porto, you should also visit Torre dos Clérigos for a breathtaking view of the skyline, and Palácio da Bolsa landmark building. Safe travels -

From a Porto guy, I could tell I’m much he fell in love for the city. People from Porto or “ Portueses” as we call, like to write letter for the city and yours is truly real. Love from Porto 💙

Great video. really enjoyed watching it.

Porto was really walking friendly, even late at night and early Morning. I never felt threatened. Also at a side walk cafe, I had calamari. I felt so welcomed from the staff, as I people watched. This was across the park and street from the stock exchange.

I'm gonna be honest, i'm from Vila Nova de Gaia and i of course i love Porto . I feel grateful and proud of seeing people from other parts of the world talking so good of the city that im so proud of

I took a working holiday for a month in O Porto last January and fell in love. Stunning city wit some of the best food I've ever had. The hills are BRUTAL, but you'll get used to it, lol. Gonna be doing a week in Lisboa soon and hope it can live up. Debating taking the bus up north and switching my hostel reservation so I can spend more time there.

One of the best videos you have made, and one of the best I have seen on Porto. I only wish it was a bit longer with a bit more content, but awesome work Dave.

Thank you for your awesome videos Dave. My family and myself are planning to take the big leap and you are really answering so many questions and giving alot of clarity. I can't wait to see more of your work! All the best.

I know Porto but you’ve made me want to go back! Thank you.

I'll be there in 5 weeks, today is January 31. My trip is on March 8 thru March 16. I'm so excited! Thank you for the video.

Nice editing Dave. Great shots

This video is outstanding. Of the dozens and dozens we’ve seen I like this one the best. Definitely the city view from Torre Clérigos is missing, but you only had 48 hours, after all! I’m so happy with your love letter to my favorite city in the world! I really appreciated feeling your affection for it. We will invite you up for a stay sometime, if you like! And a deeper look at the city.

Great introduction to Porto, missing just a couple of key places like the Torre dos Clérigos But it was an amazing, beautiful and thorough documentary style vídeo. Even more appealing when made by someone who loves Portugal like you. I'm not a city person, but thank you for showing how beautiful my hometown is in such a professional way. People like you are always welcome 🤜🤛

I live near Porto and for me the north of Portugal has the true Portuguese experience, with the culture more connected to Portuguese traditions

Such an adorable video! The first time I was in Oporto was almost 30 years ago and, by far, it's still one of my favorite places on Earth!

This is such a well-done video. Thanks for everything you do, Dave.

Wow, thank you, saudades of beautiful Porto, .

I loved Porto! A wonderful city with great views. Thank you for your great video!

Wow thanks for this video and love all your enthusiasm! So refreshing when sharing some true joy, looks like a very unique and quite beautiful place !

Thanks a lot for the video! Heading to Porto next week, every piece of info in this video is so valuable to digest

Awesome video. Really showed the city in a new light for me!

Brilliant video and comments about Porto. Well done and I hope you continue to enjoy to be in Portugal 🇵🇹

Ok Dave, this is Roxane and Lars somewhere in Portugal; traveling Portugal according to someone called Dave; actually currently in Porto, and loving it! Took you up on the Francesinha experience @ Brasao Coliseu, exceptional... heavy, but awesome 🤣 I probably shouldn't have ordered a second one.... just kid'n, it would have killed me-:) THX 😀

Dave, thanks for this video! We were so lucky to visit Porto over the new year, and we are super excited to be able to go back this summer. This video is so helpful. 😀

Visiting Porto next week and your video really hyped me up! Thanks!

Loved this one as a real Porto born. You have here one awesome choice of places in a very good sequence. You haven’t fail one of my favorites that is Serralves with all that you can have their. Most of the travelers miss it in their experience vídeos in Porto. This video is a 10 in 10 ❤️

SUPERB Quality content mate!

Thanks for sharing.

Lovely vídeo! Thanks for letting the world know about this amazing unique city. There is still a lot to see, eat and do in Porto!

Beautiful video. I love how slowly you speak. Your video was really informative and lovely.

What a lovely, video recently visited Portugal and love to see the videos again and again feels like I am there again

I loved Porto!! Beautiful city and the people were so kind and friendly. We found a small family-owned restaurant and that was our favorite place to eat. I love climbing the hills and was surprised how well I handled it all. I would go back again! I didn't care for the Fracesinha. I loved walking across the bridge to the other side of the river for photos. We stayed on Santa Caterina in downtown so we were centrally located and everything was easy.

Thank you for describing and showing my city so well. Congratulations on the video, it’s perfect 👏👏👏

I can't wait to visit in a few weeks, thanks for sharing the video!

This was such an amazingly inspiring and informative video. I’m planning a trip there this December

From a portuense: Finaly someone breakdome the "Oporto" controversy! It's "O Porto" even for us portuguese, the "O" give's it extra character

Thank you for visiting my city. Your video is fantastic.🙂

Great video. We have a trip planned and have watched dozens. This was one of the best we've watched.

I visited Portugal, and spend three days in Porto, love it!

Heading back to Porto in May! Thanks for the fresh recommendations 😎

Thanks for a great video! We are here now and off to try some of your suggestions!

Very nice, thank you.👍

Beautiful video ! I’m going to Porto in November ! So excited! Can’t wait !

We visited Porto in 2022, most amazing place to visit. We loved all of it.😍😍

Excellent video! This is Mike in Portugal, returning from the Algarve to Porto for 2-4 months, so you gave me some excellent places to see I haven't experienced. GREAT JOB!

Dave I work as tour guide and I watch a lot of youtube video to inspire me at work. Yours was the most sweet and amazing video about Porto I have seen. I would love to meet you and if you get tired from Portugal lets move to Brazil and get some videos there...

Muito bello! BEAUTIFUL JOB on this! As charming as watching a great love begin out loud. Loved it! It’s my first time visiting ur channel. I have 3 travel reads on Portugal on my desk and the book store has been on my to do list for 13 yrs! Lol. This is gonna be my year to visit! I liked, subscribed, and shared ur channel widely halfway thru this video. Keep the content this good & ur gonna grow a LARGE audience of people back home, who LOVE Portuguese people, food, culture, landscape, ceramics/goods… Looking forward to escaping vicariously via ur future content. Wishing you MUCH SUCCESS from L.A.!!!

A beautiful city, well worth the visit.

I'll be there in 5 weeks, so much looking forward to it, thanks for your beautiful recommendations, I hope to get to know some native people too.

I subscribed right away!!! I want to go to Porto and I love Portwine, so maybe in a few weeks will be there. Your video is like a postal card.❤

Thank you very much for this amazing video all the best to you !!

Such a great video. You are by far the best RU-vid Channel about Portugal. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

Very well documented congratulations!

I was born and raised in Lisbon, live In Paris for a while, but absolutely love Porto. It is a fascinating City, a surprise Box for me, with such a variety of interesting stuff to see and do. Wonderfull to get lost there also, Just strolling around. I love the people from there also. Loved your vídeo, it gave me a good vibe, wish to come Back soon. Obrigado

Obrigado, obrigado wonderful video, missing this beautiful place w it's friendly helpful people

Very good, keep going. Portugal/ Porto is the best

My buddy has been telling me how beautiful Porto is. Now watching your video, I have no excuse not go to visit. Thanks

Nice you enjoyed it

Amazing guide Dave. Well done

Me, a Portuguese born and raised in Porto, watching your video as if I've never been there hahah loved it so much and your friend Carlos knows what's up!!! Best francesinha is from Brasão 😂🎉

This was such a well done video and has helped me make up my mind on where I'll be spending my vacation days in 2024 ;)

Appreciate the more modern places you recommend vs the traditional touristy destinations. It makes this video fresh.

Thank you, Dave, for your kind review of Porto. So sorry for your nose and eye. All the best!

When I see your work I just want to discover my own country again! 👏

Thank you for this video!

I don’t know if it is the video or the city, but you have absolutely made me fall in love with the city. in love with your videography. Hope I can achieve that one day.❤❤❤ the clarity and the angles, and the cleanliness is impeccable in your video that I was forced to write this message.

I love your video on Porto, I love Portugal on the whole and I wish you divided the area of Porto into two and made two longer videos. Obrigado.

Porto is charming and beautiful, especially for azulejos fanatics like me, but every time I go, it's cloudy, rainy and overcast... Sunny Lisbon will still be my favorite, even in November! We love Portugal !

We are going there in Mai.Thank you for this Tour.

wonderful video :)

This one is very insightful. Thank you! ❤

Hi Dave. Excellent video. Amazing views. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from a Portuguese 😘

Porto is a gem. I love Portugal!

Well done.. Be in Porto in 10 days ... Now I am even more excited to visit!

We are moving there May 1st afer having visited three times and on tthe last trip secured a T2 Apartment. You did such a super job of showing the charm of the city. I enjoy your genuine excitment of Porto and comparisons to your other experiences. I'm glad Porto has come out on top in manyn of your comments. We look forward to being there and will be usre to hit up the places you've mentioned. Dave, thank you so much.

Extremely well put together video. Makes me want to pack and visit my own city!

Porto! Heaven on Earth 🌎 what a place, best food, wine wine wine! And the people, the Duoro River, beach 🏖️ my retirement #1 choice. Verei você em breve Portugal! 🙏👍

Awesome video! Makes me want to go there

We're coming in May for three weeks and watching all your videos. They're awesome.

I did have the best time on the river cruise with my glass of port wine. I had salmon for dinner, it was great. The waiters were 20 yr olds, they were all polite, patient, and hip. The metro is going thru a major re- vamp. It's extending to outer small towns, because the average worker can't afford rents in the city, yet that's where the jobs are. This is happening all over Europe.

Awesome video Dave! ❤❤❤

Very nice pictures. Congratulations!

Waoooo amazing video and very detailed. Loved

Have to agree with you. Visited Porto for the first time last summer, and it was a much more warm, cozy and friendly city than I had anticipated. And also so much to see and experience. Not so hard to get to either if you are in Europe, as they have an int airport.

Hello there! Welcome to Porto! :) Thanks for such a wonderful video... :)

We are going to Porto in September!!! Man, you are giving us the Hype for this Travel!!! Send us more clips about this Great City! You make us Love Porto even more!!! Nice video man, Hope we'll meet you somewhere in Porto!

Thank you for this very well done video of Porto. Would love to visit one day.

Great video, thank you

Ola David! In fact, the installation made with fisherman's nets on Matosinhos beach would be a sea anemone (Anêmona-do-mar), as if it were jellyfish floating over a roundabout.

great great video.... i am visiting portugal on april and it´s been so useful... keep posting!

Terrific video! Looking forward to visiting Oporto!😍
