Guide to 3 days in Porto 🇵🇹 I spent two weeks exp

Guide to 3 days in Porto 🇵🇹

I spent two weeks exploring Porto, and these were some of my favorite places. I fell in love with this beautiful city and the best part was discovering a it’s hidden gems and incredible viewpoints.

But my favorite day was actually spent outside the city 👀

The Douro Valley is one of the most beautiful day trips from Porto, and so many visitors miss it. Take the scenic train to Pinhão, visit a quinta for lunch and wine tasting, then finish with a Rabelo boat cruise through the valley. 🍷🚂

AD 📱 One thing I always need when traveling is reliable data, so I use Simify (@travelwithsimify) to stay connected the second I land. Their Europe eSIM works across multiple countries, so I can use one eSIM for my whole trip without swapping SIM cards or worrying about roaming charges.

At dusk, Prague’s last lamplighter walks Charles Bridge, lighting every lamp by hand. It’s a small, magical tradition that makes the city glow like something out of a fairytale. ✨

🕣 It happens daily during the advent season - typically from late November to December 23.

🌿 This is one of Lisbon’s best-kept secrets 🇵🇹 🏛️

🌿 This is one of Lisbon’s best-kept secrets 🇵🇹

🏛️ This stunning 17th-century palace is tucked away in São Domingos de Benfica, and you can visit the gardens on their own or take a guided tour inside.

🌸 I was limited on time, so I chose just the gardens and honestly, they were the highlight. I was so surprised to have the place practically to myself in the afternoon!

🤎 I loved wandering through the beautiful greenery, discovering the Portuguese azulejos, labyrinths, and stunning fountains. It felt like such a peaceful escape from the busier parts of Lisbon.

💶 Gardens: €8 | Gardens + palace: €17. Tickets can easily be purchased on the spot.

📍 Palácio Fronteira, Lisbon, Portugal

Just 1 hour from Lisbon, is a medieval walled town where you can walk along the ancient walls, wander through cobblestone streets and explore a castle surrounded by tiny whitewashed houses.
