Porto is maybe one of the portugese towns I like the most.
The river-area was really nice, even if hopefully the bear-price will have gotten down a bit when I get back next time... :)

Before I got there I was warned by other friends that Porto would be the Napoli of Portugal. And that wouldn't be a good thing according to them.

I haven't been to Napoli, but I'll have to say that i was quite impressed by Porto. It was kind of charming to see the clothes hanging outside the housewalls, and the only bad thing was maybe that it for a while looked impossible to find the river-area...

Not too much text here unfortunately, we spent some time in Porto, but mostly laid it on football-games, the river-area and finding a internet-café. We actually asked a taxidriver to take us to one, and we ended up at place where you could wash your clothes... :)

It was fun to follow your journey thru Portugal. I was here for several months and got to experience the EURO as well. Can't wait to return there some day ;-)

I took another look at your Porto page. Never knew that Porto = Oporto! As usual I love those nice photos and tips of yours! The river view? Well, can I go there this weekend? Does TAP fly from SFO on a Saturday? ;)
