Porto! Regret Not Staying Longer!

From the scorching summer of Madrid to the crisp autumn vibes of Porto—what a refreshing change! 🌞🍂 🏡 Stayed near Bolhão Market – Super convenient! All major attractions were within walking distance (or a short "Route 11" stroll 👣). 🌟 Highlights: 💕 Bolhão Market – Compact but clean, offering everything from seafood to sweets and souvenirs. Upstairs, live piano music and a few restaurants add to the charm! 💕 Chapel of Souls (Capela das Almas) – Free entry . The iconic blue-tiled exterior is a must-see (short queue, fast-moving). 💕 Livraria Lello – Ticket required, but totally worth it for its magical staircase and history. 💕 McDonald's Imperial – The only McDonald’s that’s a tourist attraction! ✌️ 💕 Ribeira (Riverfront) – Grab a drink at a dockside café, soak in the lively atmosphere with street performers, and enjoy the sea breeze. 💕 Boat Tours & Cable Car – 58-min river cruise (~€25) or a scenic cable car ride. 💕 Luís I Bridge + Viewpoint – Walk across for panoramic city views (especially stunning at sunset!). 🌊 Bonus: Beach Escape! Hop on Bus 200/500/502 to the coast: Surfing lessons and a stunning beachside bar await. August sunset ~8:20 PM—order a drink or seafood salad and savor the view! Last bus back around 9:30 PM. #Porto #BudgetTravel #SeafoodLover #Portugal #Paella #TravelDiaries #Wanderlust #DayTrip
