Porto in 48 honest hours: a guide that skips the Port wine cliché
Porto unfolds slowly. Skipping Port wine isn't an option. But dedicating 48 hours to it is a waste. This guide spreads the time better: local food, a Douro walk, natural wine in Foz, a francesinha in a tavern tourists ignore. No checklist. Just method.

Porto foodie: the city where you eat better than in Lisbon (and the addresses that prove it)
Porto grew without complexes. It didn't try to become Lisbon, didn't try to become Barcelona, didn't try to become anything other than Porto. The result: a city that cooks what it always has, with 30% fewer tourists in the important restaurants, and a gastronomic scene that in 2024 gained three new Michelin stars. This guide is for those arriving in Porto tired of seeing the same top 10 on TripAdvisor — Brasão Aliados, Cervejaria Brasão, Majestic Café — and want to eat where the locals eat. Tasca Pico in Bonfim, pork sandwich at Casa Guedes, true francesinha at Gazela, freshly baked pastel de nata at Manteigaria do Bolhão. And a bottle of 20-year Tawny that costs €45 and is worth every cent.
