I am madly in love with Portugal, but Porto has hit the nail on the head. I have nothing bad to say. I love everything about this city! I was going to do the pilgrim's route, but in the end I didn't go anywhere and stayed in the city. Because it's amazing! P.S.: Be sure to visit the distilleries of famous Port wine producers. Learn the history of the tiles on the buildings, called Azulejo. Dance with the locals to the music of street performers and leave a piece of your heart in Porto.

I have been to the city of Porto many times now and it’s beautiful!! The people are very kind, the coffee is EXCELLENT, I felt very safe, and there’s tons to do if you just walk around. I highly recommend it for anyone traveling around Europe!
Posted: June 17, 2025In porto we walk a lot, to see many things. To eat you have to try rice at tomato it is very very good, of course if you like rice and tomato. You have to go at the top of the city you can have a beautiful point of view.
Posted: May 7, 2025Porto is a very beautiful city and I think it is really similar to İstanbul. Maybe I think in this way beacuse I'm Turkish but anyway both are great and beautiful cities. I stayed there 1 night. I booked a hostel which was far away from the main streets and I don't recommend it because I needed uber and I couldn't pay because I don't have a credit card and they don't accept cash and I wanted help from the owner. He helped, so I can say people are warm. Also, I recommend you to go "Livrarie Lelle" which is a little bookshop but so beautifull! They sell their tickets online for visiting! It was a great place and I also recommend to eat nata! It's sweet and creamy

It was amazing! I think it was my best trip, and I hope I'm going to come back there and have a reunion with all the surf couches. I loved the vibe and felt very safe. I recommend this city to everyone; the view is picturesque, with small colorful buildings and beautiful beaches. I'm in love!
Posted: May 6, 2025I was there with my cousin when we were 19 and we never had a second thought about our safety even though we stayed in a hostel and were alone in the city. People are very nice and friendly, they speak English very well. The overall atmosphere is very pleasant and people always want to come back 💚

During the day and in busy streets in the night, generally its a safe place. Keep your phones well hidden in busy hours since there's a good amount of people who will try to steal it. Transports have cameras so generally you are good!
Posted: June 19, 2025Porto is very safe city, there are some places where better not to go alone as girl but this places are more dangerous just at night. I’m living here for 2 years and haven’t expected any dangerous situation
