If there was ever a city made for wandering, it’s Portugal’s second largest city, Porto. Those streets are cobblestone, building facades gleam with colorful tile and the river (here, the Douro) figures prominently. But Porto is much more intimate, and all of that beauty is concentrated in its historic city center. Churches and public buildings are works of art, and at least one bookstore influenced short-term Porto resident, JK Rowling in familiar ways.

It’s a beautiful city filled with lots of good food, wine, and riverfront cafes. Unfortunately, for us, it was November in Europe which usually means lots of cold, rainy days. We managed to get one really nice day with mild temperatures and sunshine. The locals were super friendly and happy to have us there. This is typically their off-season, but I can see where this city would be a happening spot in the summer months!
