Me and my daughter came to Porto by air and the first good thing that waited for us there was a perfect metro connection directly to our hotel in the downtown. Two men were helping to buy metro tickets at airport, it was a really special thing telling about attempts of local goverment to make tourists feel well in the city.
After we got out from underground in our stop, we sat down at the first bench on the squere and just relaxed, breathing that special atmosphere, that folowed us all the time we were there. After 10 minutes beeing in Porto my daughter asked me if we should look for appartment to buy there. She liked to be there so much. And I agree with her... People without big rush, warmth in the midlle of October, sunshine and friendly faces... Nothing else is missing to feel well...
If to add the beauty of architecture, elegance of bridges, good food and good wine, also the shores of Atlantic Ocean, then it is a full set of feeling to be in a very special place. I know, I will be back soon.

It is a really special place, I think it is my favourite... When I went there firt time, I got out from metro and just sat on the bench for one hour enjoying the special feeling.
One of my favourite cities!
