Day Trips From Porto

Cruise is exactly what we needed. Just a quick tour up the river and back from a convenient location near the WOW museums. Boats leave at regular intervals. Check with the tourism office if you can't find the dock (there are a few of them and the names might be different). I'd take the last one to catch the sunset.

Guide Bernardo was wonderful and the wineries were fantastic. More than just a tour - it was a deep immersion and education on many matters relevant to Portuguese history and culture. Obrigado!

The book store is absolutely beautiful and definitely worth going into. The only drawback is the people. And obviously I'm part of the problem if you consider that I'm complaining about the people. But if more people were more conscientious of everyone wanting to enjoy the ambience, the views, the beauty and they took their 10 seconds to take a quick photo and move on more people Would have an opportunity to do that. The reality is not every tourist is in social media influencer so get your picture and get out of the way. You don't need to check your shot and re-shoot it 10 times there are hundreds of people trying to file through here every day and trying to get that shot. If you're uninterrupted photo is that important schedule a private tour. And honestly, this goes for everything if you're standing in front of something that you know is popular for photos and people are waiting. Take three quick pictures have your camera on live you can pick the best frame and move on especially with digital editing and AI editing there is no reason a single group of people is taking One to two to even three minutes for a singular photo.

Queues were out the door and down the street but moving fast . The view walking in was of the gorgeous staircase and books everywhere. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The atmosphere was buzzing and cameras we're clicking
