Douro Valley Wine Tour - 1.5 hour trip out to Douro, with a boat tour serving light bites and the famous "Porto Tonic" drink, then a guided walk through a few wineries and a home cooked meal in a traditional Portuguese home.

Jardim do Morro - Go here to watch a sunset, bring a bottle of wine from a local shop and enjoy the mix of locals and international travelers gathered for a perfect view. Sometimes, there is live music playing, which sets the perfect tone.

Walk the bridge to explore the Gaia side of Porto (not for those afraid of heights.)

Day Trip

Take the train to Aveiro and explore for the day.

Taberna Dos Mercadores - Arrive at 5pm when it opens and wait in line for a table. Hot Tip: get a bottle of wine to go at "The Wine Box" and drink it while you wait in line - the octopus rice and seafood porridge is a must!

Caldeireiros - A humble, off-path restaurant serving amazing tapas sized Portuguese seafood focused dishes, with very large pours of very cheap and delicious wine.

Quay Wine Bar - The best view of the river, serving an amazing wine selection and small plates, highly recommend for people watching. Come with a small group as they don't take reservations!

Nata Lisboa - You must try the signature pastry in Portugal called Pasteis de Nata for a custardy mini pie/tart treat, I love them with coffee or as the ending to a nice lunch).

Miss Opo - Delicious food in a cozy atmosphere with a very welcoming staff.

Bacalhau - If you like Cod, this is the place for you. Prepared in many ways, each way unique and with a beautiful view of the river.

Chama - The tasting menu is exciting, as it is all fresh produce found that morning, each dish is a surprise and a welcomed one at that!
