General solution of Porto:

"Come to Portugal, which stands at the westernmost end of the Eurasian plate", we walked through the capital, saw Lisbon which brings surprises everywhere, felt the distance of the ends of the earth - Roca, enjoyed the fairy tale royal family's "new tra", and went all the way north to appreciate Porto, which has double world heritages, Portugal's national name and the source of Polish wine.

The reason why he is called "the Pearl of the north" is that, like Shanghai in China, it still exudes the Pearl like luster from the peeling off of the shell after the erosion of time on the stage of history.

Porto, a port city facing the Atlantic Ocean in northern Portugal, is the second largest city (next to Lisbon) and the largest port in Portugal. It is also the capital of Porto and the administrative, economic and cultural center of the northern region. The city has Porto, a famous football club in Portugal, and Porto concert hall, a famous building.

Portugal's national name and polish wine are derived from this city. Its old city and surrounding wine producing areas are world cultural heritage.

The three / four-star hotels in Porto are good. It's good to be close to the city center as far as possible. The scenic spots are relatively concentrated, convenient to visit and safe.

Shopping: like other European countries, almost every family has a discount in January and July ~ if you come at this time, don't miss the opportunity of "shopping" ~ 1, Rua de Santa Caterina, the main street of "shopping" in the downtown. 2. Via Catarina mall, the appearance is not impressive, and the interior is modern and traditional.

On Jima's Poems:

"Guimar í ES has always been regarded as the birthplace of Portugal because of its founding monarch Alfonso? Afonso Henriques was born here.

The historic downtown area within the city wall of gemarians is closely related to the formation and status of Portugal. It is recognized as a world heritage site, and its originality and authenticity are considered in the restoration. From the elegant iron balconies, granite balconies and porches, manor houses, arches connecting narrow streets, polished paving slabs, towers and corridors, we can still see the brand left by the city's harmonious and well preserved historical relics. For a moment, you may feel like you are back to the middle ages, where nobles are building their mansions, such as Mota? The Mota prego, Vila flor and Toural palaces, as well as a large number of aristocratic palaces, have created the unique atmosphere of gemarians. "

-From Baidu

For this city that I love to step on every stone road, there is only a sigh of infinite remembrance:

It's a chapter of string music, a poem,

It's a secret for a while;

A dimly Luminous Gem,

A human refuge for the elves.

The existence is not true.

get accommodation:

If you have the chance, please don't hesitate to stay in the hotel in the center of the historic old city. The old city is a 365 day Christmas. The lights are decorated every night. The rows of medieval street lights along the crisscross narrow roads reflect the square and bright stone paths, creating the feeling of reaching the secret place of the elves.

So having visited Portugal, Porto is a sign that can't be missed. And the real heart to go, read the exclamation of Portugal, jimarang poetry, will let you remember deeply.

set out

Lisbon Porto

Mode of travel: Train

I checked the train number on the website in advance (website: www.cp.pt) and decided to take the 9:39 a.m. bus to start. Because of drowsiness, I didn't take the 7:39 bus. It's OK to buy the ticket on the same day. If a friend is not at ease, it's also good to buy the ticket one day in advance~

On the ticket, the train number is clearly written (the corresponding platform can be found on the small screen of the station), the corresponding carriage and seat number of the ticket, as well as the area (a, B, C, d) to wait on the platform, so as to board the corresponding carriage in time.

Train transportation tips:

Generally, the train from Lisbon will only arrive at Porto campanha, but don't worry ~ Porto campanha will go to S. Bento station in the center of Porto every 10 minutes.

S. Bento railway station

Opened in 1916, it is famous for its 20000 ceramic tile paintings showing Portuguese history~

The name of St. Benedict station (Portuguese: esta ú o de s í o Bento) originated from the Benedictine monastery in the 16th century, which was abandoned at the end of the 19th century. In 1900, King Carlos I laid the foundation for the station. The station was designed by local architect Jose Max da Silva, but was influenced by the French Academy of fine arts. It is a real artistic building.

Out of the railway station, you can see narrow and prosperous streets in all directions. Because of the sky, the photo looks gray...

After arriving, first go to the hotel for check-in ~ 5 minutes, after arriving at aliados subway station, you can easily see it on the first back street in the West

~Clean and tidy ~ the room is decorated with traditional wooden furniture, bed sheets and pillowcases, as well as beautiful pure Portuguese hand embroidery and lace.

Very exquisite 3-star hotel.

Baode akuka Hotel

Rue doAlmada262, 4050-032Porto, Portugal

Very interesting decoration style ~ from the balcony, you can see the landmark building of Porto - Pastor tower.

Put down your luggage and start~

Just in the afternoon, the most important thing is to eat. I can't miss "little French woman". It's said that it's a "specialty" of Porto. Come on! Let me have a taste~

Thick cheese with special mild sauce, plus the taste and flavor of all kinds of meat... I can't stop my knife and fork( Mouth water

Look what's inside...

Top and bottom of the toast sandwich, with steak, sausage, ham, eggs, top with thick cheese and special sauce~

There is also the origin of "little French woman" on the plate

This restaurant is just near the liberty Plaza. After a short rest, you can start sightseeing~

Looking to the west side of the square, you can see the towering pastor tower. It is suggested to spend two euros on the top of the tower. You can also tell the direction.

The priest stepped down and walked northward for about one minute to see livraria Lello, one of the three famous bookstores in the world. Some of the Harry Potter clips were shot here. Don't miss it~

Next, along the long and narrow lanes of Porto to the river, shuttle through the heart of the world heritage to the Palacio Da Bolsa( It's a neoclassical building. World Heritage Site. It's also forbidden to take photos here, but it's very big. The highlight of the palace is the Arab room, which was built between 1862 and 1880 by Gonzalez é Sosa. The room is decorated in the fashionable Moore Renaissance style of the 19th century. It is used to receive distinguished guests visiting Porto. It is said that the gold used for decoration weighs 20 kg.

It's better to buy a city tour package ticket here than a single ticket on the roadside.

Go to the back of the stock exchange palace to s Francisco Church. This is the most prominent Gothic architecture in Porto, Portugal, and is famous for its excellent Baroque interior decoration. It is located in the historic center of the city and is part of a world heritage project. It's worth a visit. It is also one of the most luxurious churches in Europe. Walking into the church, you can't help sighing: the beams, columns and carvings inside are all covered with gold. According to statistics, about 400 kg of gold is used. Some parts that are not decorated with gold, such as the wide rib Gothic arch, are also made of expensive marble. Tickets for 3.50 euro, visit is divided into two parts, one is the interior of the church, the other side of the church door opposite the exhibition hall.

Opening time: 9:00 to 7:00 p.m. address: Rua infante DOM Henrique, 4050-297 Porto, Portugal Tel. + 351 22 206 2100

Continue to go downhill, and arrive at the Bank of DORO River in one minute ~ listening to the melodious live music on the street, walking along the river, playing with the trinkets and souvenirs bought from row after row of stalls, a feeling of carefree and beautiful life suddenly surges out~

As the evening approaches, the picturesque wharf of praca Ribeira is attached

Looking at the time is still early, choose the 50 minute cruise ~ if you have a package ticket with city tour in your hand, it's free here ~ you can not only enjoy the ancient houses along the river, but also the six bridges on the Doro river~

After getting off the boat, go to Yanhe River and take photos under the bridge. You can take the "Climbing" cable car across the Tieqiao road and go back to the height not far from s Bento station. Not cheap: 1.80 euro. But for me, who have been swimming all afternoon, I don't want to climb up the steep slope and steps just now and go back to the starting point, near the railway station... If you have a ticket for city tour in your hand, it's different. There's a sightseeing bus by the bridge, and you can get on the bus~

It's easy to see the main church of Porto when you get off the "mountain climbing" cable car. It's the Episcopal Church of the Catholic Diocese of Porto. It's located in the historical center of Porto, Portugal. It's one of the oldest monuments in the city and one of the most important Romanesque buildings in Portugal. The current cathedral was built around 1110 and completed in the 13th century, but there is evidence that the city was already a bishop's residence in the 5th-6th century.

The cathedral opened in 1737

Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 09:00 – 12:30, 14:30 – 18:00 address: terreiro Da s é, 4050-573 Porto, Portugal Tel. + 351 22 205 9028

Behind the Diocese of Porto, you can walk on the Luis I bridge and feel surrounded by world heritage sites. Whether it's the old town on the right or the Bo wine on the left. It's all fascinating.

In June, it's dark. It's about 9 o'clock before it gets dark. Because I want to see the night scene, it's not dark yet, so I went back to the hotel to sort out the door at 9 o'clock, and then I saw the other side of old Porto~

Due to the reason of traveling alone, I didn't have the courage to go down to the river and look up to enjoy the later and more charming night view of Porto.

But if you're not alone, suggest going down to the river. There is a long bar and various restaurants by the river.

Taste a glass of Porto red wine in the middle, order a special Porto meal "little French woman", eat authentic sausage to wait for Porto to unveil the veil of the night for you, absolutely make you feel worthwhile this trip.

the second day

After an absolutely satisfying breakfast, I started a new day's journey.

Out of the love of various music palaces, I decided to go to Casa Da musica to have a look~

However, there is no need to get up early, because after all, the door doesn't open until 10 o'clock, and the team leader leads the internal viewing for about 40 minutes at 11 o'clock. So I found the right excuse to sleep more~

Take the subway at aliados subway station at the gate. I bought a ticket that can be taken within the scope of zone2, the price is 1.40 euro. Because I first arrived in Porto, I didn't have a "metro card", so I still need to buy a paper "metro card", which is worth 0.5 euro. You can use the automatic ticketing machine, which has English options. After arriving at the first station Trindade, you can transfer to a, B, C, e and F. the main thing is to identify the direction and don't sit backwards. There is a screen display at the subway station. If you really can't understand it for a moment, you can ask the police "Uncle" on the platform. They will tell you very kindly.

Pay attention to the machine in the picture below. When you enter the subway station, you must remember to "tick" on it, or you will be fined if the police check that you don't punch in. Porto doesn't know how much you will be fined, but if you buy a package ticket in Lisbon, you will be fined 200 times of the ticket price( Brush the subway entrance and the subway exit ~)

After arriving, I made a circle around the irregular shaped building. She occupies the center of the road leading to all directions, showing unique. Although it can't compete with China's water cube and China Pavilion in Shanghai World Expo, it's a wonderful flower to be located in an old city like Porto~

Here I have to reflect on my carelessness and insufficient homework. After arriving, I know that the only two visits a day are arranged in Portuguese from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Due to the afternoon to go to Portugal's Venice aviro, so gave up the afternoon visit. If you don't understand, it's still good ~ 4 Euro ticket.

The music palace opens from 10:00 to 19:00 from Monday to Saturday, and from 10:00 to 18:00 on Sundays and holidays. There are two indoor visits: 11:00 a.m. (Portuguese) and 4:00 p.m. (English)( Visitors must be led by the lecturer)

I often spend a lot of time looking for a restaurant. If I don't eat the food in it, I will feel regret all my life. So before I go to aviro, another thing I must do is to have a nice lunch in Chez lapin. Like the "walking tour", I also found a suitable excuse to find a real Porto in the streets.

The monument to the war heroes on the peninsula is located in the square opposite the music palace. Impressive is the top of the lion, it with its sharp claws hard pressed a struggling eagle. The lion represents Portugal and England, and the eagle represents Napoleon's power. It is used to commemorate the victory of Britain and Portugal in the war against Napoleon.

Go through the square and follow the opposite "R do BOM suseso" to the south, then you can reach the river. This river is different from the previous one. It's an extension of the central tourist area.

The sky is floating with continuous drizzle, walking on the road, feeling the little heart caressed by the drizzle is melting in the ancient mysterious Porto.

When I get to the riverside and walk eastward, Chez lapin is just ahead. The scenery along the way will strengthen my belief in "walking tour" ~ ha ha

This is the way to treat traffic jams. It has a strong sense of curve~

Pass by the Porto wine exhibition hall, don't miss the children's shoes you are interested in. Tickets are 2.60 euro on weekdays, free on Saturdays and Sundays~

Address: Rua Monchique 45, 4440-452 Portugal

Tel. + 351 22 207 6300

When you come to the rows of restaurants yesterday, it's not difficult to find this unique and beautiful one. It's dazzling...

I suggest you make a reservation if you decide to eat here, because when I and my partners met on the road decided to eat this family, the two simple wooden houses were already fully booked, so only a stone glass room outside can sit. It is also very beautiful. There are only 4 to 5 tables on the small bottom floor, but there is a retest attic with a large table on it, Suitable for family travel and dining( In fact, most foreigners like to sit in the open air, I prefer this environment, so I choose indoor) because yesterday I ate a little French woman near the railway station square, so today I ordered a Portuguese salted fish ~ the thick cheese on it hides not only the tender salted fish ~ but also the shrimp! Ha ha ~ fragrant, fragrant, fragrant.

Today, there is also a huge harvest, that is, I met a "donkey friend" on the road. What did she eat- Meat, thick tender, water creaky ~ bite down 5 stars full of meat satisfaction oh( Of course, I didn't let her off her plate

In addition, the first dish and drinks cost 35 euro in total. It's not cheap in Portugal, but it's very good in terms of European consumption level.

Because there is not enough time budget, so we need to turn back in the afternoon.. It's a pity that I didn't go to Bo winery to find out. I suggest that you stay in Porto for two days. After enjoying the unique restaurant environment and delicious food in the Old World Heritage Town, you can visit the winery and have a drink after dinner.

It's time to return to Lisbon if you have enough to eat and drink. If you take the train back, you can't miss "avero", which is known as Venice of Portugal!

Because I had enough to eat, I decided to climb the alley and go back to S. Bento railway station. From the left side of Chez lapin, there is a road leading to the high cathedral. There are winding alleys and endless steps. However, walking in broad daylight is also unique. Come and see what I see~

Climb up the steps to the cathedral. Go to the railway station behind you and end the pure brewed Porto.

Next stop: go to the cradle of Portugal

The railway station is in a highland. If you go down different roads, you can see different scenery.
