When recommending typical Porto dishes, everyone says these two rich and distinctive dishes:

The francesinha is recommended for the different delicacies and flavors that make this dish famous among others; and Tripas à moda do Porto, a dish with a heavy and strong past that today represents the attitude and spirit of the people of this city: hospitality, sacrifice, gift and availability.

Whether it's food or drink, inside a building or on the street, feel the different aromas that fill the city.

Walk around the city like a local, explore the fishing port of Matosinhos following the smell of grilled sardines offered in the streets and get to know the different aromas of Port wine while getting to know its production on a visit to the cellars.

Porto, a city full of history in every corner with a huge religious presence and different styles of architecture.

Be enchanted by the beauty of Capela das Almas, with its walls covered with drawings in the traditional blue tiles

and see all the intricate details as you visit the astonishing Stock Exchange Palace with its neoclassical architecture, with the exception of the Arab room which is decorated in the exotic Moorish Renaissance style.

Porto is a harmoniously balanced city with traces of the old and the new, the classic and the bold, present in monuments, buildings, pieces of art and objects.

Some perfect examples are Livraria Lello, where you can touch the past through the world of books in one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world, and the countless street art scattered throughout the city of Porto.

On the street or indoors, local people or professionals, voice or instrument, embrace the sounds of the city.

To represent the sounds produced inside with voice and instrument professionals is Casa da Música, a Concert Hall that has become one of the most memorable and emblematic buildings in the city for its modern and futuristic shape; and to represent the sounds produced on the street by cariocas with voice and instruments we have the iconic Festa de São João do Porto, where cariocas invade the city streets in celebration accompanied by hammers, open-air concerts and fireworks.
