In 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 💚

i'm here in porto with lots of other erasmus students. together we feel very comfortable here. we do lots of things like go to the beach or for a walk, go to the river or just walk through the city. a nice place is the jardim do morro on the other side of the river or the sé de porto.

I’d say Porto is pretty safe. I’ve never had to worry about my things being stolen or that anything would happen to me, even as a woman walking at night. You could literally drop something on the table or on the floor and when you go back it’s very likely that it’d still be where you left it, and if it’s not there then it’s probably because someone helped take it to the nearest lost and found or to the police station. An additional upside is that the locals are really nice!

Hi there! I'm Sedona, a 27-year-old adventurer originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, now embracing life in the charming city of Porto, Portugal. My wife and I, both military veterans, met in Ukraine prior to the war and made the exciting move here in February 2025 with our three beloved cats. I have a passion for travel, food, and art, and love discovering new cultures and cuisines. When I'm not exploring Porto's vibrant streets, you'll find me with a book in hand or experimenting with new recipes. Let's share our travel tales and inspire each other to explore the world!

Hi everyone! I am Zoi, a 22 year old student from Thessaloniki Greece🌼. I am currently in my last semester of my bachelor in psychology and last year I got my harp diploma. I love travelling and exploring new cultures though people, history, food and other ways! I am currently searching for a place to stay in Porto which I will be visiting from 9 till 13 of June. It doesn't have to be all of those five days. Any hosting time during these days would be really helpful, because I am a student traveller and I am already currently in my Erasmus in Germany! Thank you in advance😊
