Where you can eat for less than 10 euros. Try the roast pork with local cheese sandwich which is undeniably delicious.
You'll have to wait in line for a while but it moves quickly. You order drinks, sandwiches, cheese, dessert, pay and will be given a number. Ask how to say that number in Portugese as they will call out your number when your order is ready. The local white creamy cheese with spiced pumpkin jam was the best I've ever tasted.

Located in downtown Porto, the Carmo and Carmelitas churches look like the biggest church in the city. In fact, they are two churches separated by one of the world’s narrowest houses. This house was built to make all contact between the nuns and the monks impossible. If you look closely, you’ll find Carmo Church (on the right) and Carmelitas Church (on the left).

It is often said of Porto, Portugal that the city is something of a living, breathing museum in its own right, and there is no area to which this applies more than that of the Cais da Ribeira. Ribeira literally means riverfront, and the name Cais da Ribeira refers to the district’s position right on the banks of the Douro River.

Building designed by Dutchman Rem Koolhaas.
The history of the theatre begins in 1794, when the main authority of Porto, Francisco de Almada e Mendonça, encharged Italian architect Vicente Mazzoneschi with the project for an opera house. The original theatre was built between 1796 and 1798 and was named São João in honour of Prince-regent João, later crowned king as John VI of Portugal. The interior of the theatre was similar to São Carlos Theatre of Lisbon, built a little earlier.

Every saturday this flea market happens from 12:00-19:00
Well, it certainly isn’t as large as the Portobello, but the weather is so much better for sure! Even though the number of sellers isn’t that big here either, their offer is pretty varied and of good quality. You can find old vinyl LP records (mp3… what is that?); traditional Portuguese toys (my favourites), both newly made and really old ones, mostly made of wood or tin; some Portuguese antiques; handicraft; handmade soaps; books and magazines; or organic and homemade food (cakes, desserts, jams, …) among others. Just pick one from each seller and you’ll have a lot of Porto to take home!
