Ciudade do Porto
Amazing trip if you want to go away for few days. Very safe if you travel alone. People very friendly and very polite. The best thing you can do in Porto is get lost in its streets, amazing atmosphere. Great food and great wine.

I
Porto is the place of your dreams. I expected nothing, fell in love and if I could I would come back every year. There is something for everyone and every day! Stroll from the ribeira to the pier, the seaside and the beach. Go on a boat cruise down the Duoro, or a free walking tour with Pancho tours (Iris!!). Try a Francesinha then head over to Gaia for Port wine tours and tastings. It is a beautiful city with wonderful food (custard tartlets, seafood, fruits) at a great price. You'll be back!
Insider Tip:- Ask around for the best Franchesinha, don't settle for less than the best. - After your tasting, buy your Port at the supermarket as it is the same stuff but much cheaper. - Treat yourself to some shopping on Santa Catarina, and make sure to grab a custard tart while you are there. - Wear sunscreen. The sun is very hot. - Go with a group for the boat tour and you can get a discount. - Day trip to Guimaraes - it's about 6 euro return on the train and it's a lovely town with a castle, palace, gardens

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! :))
