Hi guys welcome to another episode of ultimate bucket list and today I'm in
Porto Porto the ancient Portuguese city this historic city is home to the port
wine industry literally every port wine in all the free world is made here and
this is an extreme example of Portuguese culture architecture and history it's a
place that's divided into two areas and join together by this the Dom Lewis
bridge which is great to walk or drive across and is pretty place in itself one
of the things that I highly recommend that you do here first and foremost is
explore the south side aka the gaya side of the bridge this is where all your
ports wine is made and if your company is not here on the flagpoles you're not
legally poor swine they're literally yards away from each
other and before you get drunk on wine absorb all of the sites that you can see
because it's actually a very pretty place my tour started here at Callum
this is one of the most visited wineries here in Porto the tourist south was
actually quite good and they teach you how to distinguish between different
kinds of port wine as you can imagine it's a winery tour
it's as you'd expect it to be but the best bit is the tasting session
afterwards where you can try different kinds of port wine and to socialize with
your tour mates these guys were all really really nice cheers to you and the
wine was even nicer there's no shortage of places where you can buy wine really
really cheap to bring home and if you do go outside and walk the streets there
will be no shortage of places that will sell you five port wines for five euros
quite literally you can get drunk with just five euros the best place to do
this is here at ports or cruise where they've got this killer rooftop bar and
you've got some of the most amazing views of Poulter and the bridge whilst
enjoying the sunshine and the wine not too shabby
if you do want to do some sightseeing highly recommend the Clara goose this is
a church and bell tower and it's situated right in the middle of Otto you
get some amazing views of some amazing Portuguese architecture and everything
here is very very grand I even found Jesus which I found a little strange
because there's a whole exhibit dedicated to Jesus I'm okay and I highly
recommend going up the bell tower but I will warn you it's pretty narrow up
there climbing this bell tower is bloody hard work but the views you get out of
here are amazing check this out
now you'll get rewarded with a 360-degree view of porto which is
amazing except that it's a really tight squeeze up here if you are at all
claustrophobic i highly recommend that you don't do this because it really
really is a tight squeeze but the church bits of the Clara goose is actually free
to go around so if you are on a budget this part is free there's famous library
that inspired the Harry Potter books but when I went the queues were literally a
mile long so as you can tell I didn't bother this is Sal benzo the most
beautiful train station in the world quite literally I mean look at this
place it's like an ornate art gallery and this
is strange because this is actually a working train station seriously guys an
actual working train station also has a cathedral and whilst is free to go into
I must admit it's a little bland to compare to some of the other sites that
you might see here in autumn but I highly recommend going around here
anyway mainly because it's free and actually no
I take that back because it's actually quite good so definitely come here and
the fact that it's free is a massive bonus I take some time to explore all
the buildings go walking around the streets and just take in some of the
culture and the architecture the portal has to offer I guarantee you won't be
disappointed here this is a very chillax place and whether
you're wandering the streets or looking at trams or exploring buildings I
guarantee you'll have an amazing time here even if you want to go to the
modern football stadium this is FC Porto Stadium I highly recommend that you do
that as well I actually made a separate video about it right here which you can
see on another video on my channel but as the Sun sets it's time to actually
cross the bridge and absorb some of the lovely views
I mean seriously guys look at the sunset and take a look at what views you get
from the bridge but if you want an even better view climb the monument that's at
the side of the bridge which is this white thing here and you'll be rewarded
with the best view of Porto that you'll ever see get there early and wait till
sunset because you'll be rewarded with this
some of the most romantic views you'll ever see in your life so if you are a
big fan of European culture I highly recommend that you come to portal once
in your life especially if you like food and you like to drink wine because
there's plenty of it here okay nin I'm salt what do I do
well firstly you need to come here to Porto it's dead easy to get to from the
airport you literally take the purple line line e from the airport to the
middle of town don't bother with buses or taxis they
won't get you there any faster and they're a lot more expensive all the
port wineries are on the gaya side of the city I highly recommend that you
visit portal cruise Kalem which is the one I went to and tailors but to be
honest they're all good all the attractions are reasonably priced and no
attraction cost me any more than fifteen euros if you're looking for a place to
stay try and get near Trinidad Aliyah DOS or sell bento stations and if you do
everything is pretty much walking distance Porto is an extremely
cost-effective city and you can feed yourself quite easily for 10 euros
alcohol understandably is extremely cheap as well you could come here and it
won't cost you an arm and a leg is there anything else I need to know
yes Porto is an extremely Killy city and you'll need a good set of quads and
casts and navigate the streets as they are pretty steep sometimes even though
this is a Portuguese city most people here speak fluent English
but it does help to learn basic Portuguese greetings and sayings so guys
if you do light food and drink if you do like a laid-back atmosphere beautiful
views and European culture this is definitely the place for you I highly
recommend that you've added this to your bucket list
