Authenticity
Porto is really authentic, romantic and different than Paris, Lisbon, Madrid and others. The city has a really different architecture, friendly and funny locals. There is a beautiful bridge and river. All of them are amazing. You should eat fish in Porto. :) The best thing is that Porto is cheaper than Germany, France and Spain! :))

Too few days to really know the place.
I can only say that I needed to stay longer in the place to get to know it better. In the one and a half days I was there, I found several places that were interesting and gave the place a lot of character. However, it is not a city I would necessarily visit again unless I would travel with somebody from there.
