Take a Douro River tour. The scenery is beautiful

We were there with our kids so also not a drinking trip. There is so much to see if you just walk around. We did the hop on hop off bus, there are multiple routes.

The coast isn’t far either but we didn’t have enough time to get there.

You can easily spend a couple of days in Porto town, some of the things you can do is visit the famous library, ride on the historic trams, walk around the town, wak and have dinner alongside the river (Ribeira), walk or bike across the bridge, do tile painting, see the Sau Bento station murals from inside. If you get board, you can take the train to Aviero which is supposed to be scenic. But I would highly recommend doing the scenic train ride into Douro Valley.

The Palacio de Bolsa tour is great. Awesome architecture. Also ride the rickety old trolley to the beach and back.

Port tasting

Came back from Porto. Outside of the old town (the 'old' houses and crumbling streets can get old), it was pretty 'sleepy' experience. overall, unfortunately it was underwhelming
