Built in 1886, this bridge links Porto and Gaia.
Reviewed By Gary S - Milton Keynes, United Kingdom
Well we picked the wettest Easter on record to visit Porto.
We did the lower part of the bridge on the pouring rain and the return from the Dark Side by the upper bridge in what can only be described as crazy windswept outward bound type adventure. People were blown sideways. Umbrellas broken beyond repair.
What a day.
It's just a bridge...looks the bees knees. It was built back in 1792...so with those winds it has stood the test of time.
We were shot blasted but survived.
2. Praia de Miramar

Esta praia já teve os seus tempos áureos e em que até apenas famílias com um certo estatuto a frequentavam.
Hoje as coisas já não são bem assim e a praia de Miramar é das mais visitadas e procuradas na época balnear. O ambiente está mais agitado, mas continua a ser uma das praias de eleição para quem procura calma, um mar acessível e um restaurante de apoio bom e com preços em conta. As pessoas que procuram a praia de Miramar têm um certo nível e não há grandes algazarras como se vê em praias bem próximas.
A famosa capela de Miramar continua a ser ponto de peregrinação e visita para muitos...e os fins de tarde são os momentos mais marcantes para quem deseja registar daqui um lindo pôr do sol.

On Mondays everything turns chaotic with this market. You can find everything going you are looking for here from fish to fashionable clothes. However, you need to be prepared for sometimes annoying crowd and to search very well for what you are looking. It's not always so obvious, which stands are worth a stop

Wonderful park. Lots of animals and plants in a wonderful environement. It was an amazing experience. To see all the park in detail it takes at least 3 hours, but it is worth it Not to be missed.

We have just completed a large group tour of northern Portugal. Activities were organised by Splendid Evasions and the service was exemplary. From a sardine factory tour to the Medieval dinner outside Aveiro, we were treated very well over a week. Special thanks to the enthusiasm of Anna and the passion and knowledge of Francesco.
We also took a private trip as a couple before the group. We were attracted to the National Park option outside Arcos de Valdevez. Unfortunately a whole lotta' rain put paid to the plans. Replanting on the run was (almost) seemless and we enjoyed 3 days of walks and a 4 wheel drive tour. Thanks to Pedro and the team

For a person who never stomped grapes to turn them into wine, this was great tour into the wine making. Our hostess, Maria Tomé explained in great, understandable details how you get port out of grapes. After the port making lesson, she introduced us to her favourite ports. Although we were biased towards white port, she let us try an ambrosia of a red port - we left with 4 bolts of port; including the red one :)
Highly recommended way of spending few Euros on worthy cause. We will never look at port the same way. Thank you Maria!

RESERVATION REQUIRED. Originally built in 1890, Graham's Lodge was renovated in 2012 and now offers tours (in several languages) and Port tastings.
Reviewed By Erick H - Guildford, United Kingdom
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Graham's for several reasons. First off, their tour is very personally oriented. Compared to the other full tour we went on had only a very repetitive audio tour. Whereas Graham's has tour guides for multiple languages. They are also...MoreDear Erick, Many thanks for your input and feedback on Trip Advisor.
