Arrival in Oporto

Information

You will begin the inland variant of the Portuguese Way by bike from the bohemian and beautiful city of Porto, which is home to a great number of heritage sites and cultural legacies of Portuguese history. We recommend arriving in the city in the morning, leaving your things at the accommodation and heading out to the street. You can begin your visit at the Avenida dos Aliados, the heart of the city, a symbol for the people of Porto and a meeting place and venue for numerous cultural events. Let yourself be carried away by the Praça da Liberdade and stroll to the famous and beautiful Livraria Lello e Irmão. Afterwards, and just next door, a visit to the Torre dos Clérigos is a must. The city of Porto is, in short, a magnificent start to the Portuguese Way by bike.

For a small snack we recommend trying the famous francesinhas and, for dessert, a pastel de nata. After eating, you can walk down to the Ribeira, passing by São Bento station and the Sé do Porto. Porto is a wonderful city to get lost in the streets of its monumental area… calçada, azulejos, colours, wine, culture and tradition are found in its narrow alleyways.
