Rúben from Porto
Dick's Bar at The Yeatman Porto
Beautiful cityscape
This bar is located inside the Yeatman Hotel. The first time I visited this place was in 2016 for a conference. The person who started this conference talked about the setting, namely the beautiful landscape through the window. I will never forgot what I felt when I turned my head to the window. It was a mix between surprise and pride. Surprise because I saw that landscape like I had never seen it before, even if I know my city from several different perspectives, and, I'm biased, but I felt proud because I have already traveled a lot and I've never seen a cityscape as beautiful as my city's. I recommend this place for people to see the view of Porto from Gaia.
The bar of the hotel offers several types of drinks. Usually I drink a beer and I only drink one because each beer is 6 euros. It might sound expensive but we should not forget the view and the quality of the products offered inside a 5-star hotel. I came back to this hotel with my family to surprise them and also with my foreign customers, because their surprise is my pride.

Pastry perfected over 100 years
"Padaria Ribeiro" isn't just a bakery - it's an icon of the city! I imagine they have been perfecting their pastry recipes since the 19th century...

Portuguese Centre of Photography
Go to jail!
"The Portuguese Centre of Photography" in Porto is located in an ex-prison in the centre. Protip: go all the way down the street at the building's left side.

A century old students' caffè
"Café Piolho" has been the centre of Porto students' nightlife for over a century. The first cafe to have electricity and TV, it's a living part of history.

Foz, Porto's seafront
Beaches north to south
Foz and Porto's seafront is definitely for me my favourite part of the city! In summer it can get crowded, but that's because it's Porto at its best!

The wonderful City Park
"Parque da Cidade" is Porto's Central or Hyde Park, and it's the only one in Europe with a seafront! It's one of my favourite spots to do outdoorsy things.

Bugo Art Burger
Burgers with a Portuguese twist
"Bugo Art Burger" was the first restaurant in Porto to cook special burgers. Even after all that time, it still has THAT twist! Mango chutney burger anyone?

Glass building at sea side
The "Edíficio Transparente" in Porto is a strange glass building with 4 floors, pleasant restaurant, cafes - and one of my favorite ocean views in the city.

Café Santiago
Old-school Francesinha
"Café Santiago" serves perhaps my favorite Francesinha (as healthy as it looks) in Porto. And the "only" drink that goes along with it is Super Bock beer!
