Porto, the travel destination of a lifetime - recommended tourist route!

📌Places to visit

- Santa Catarina Street
Santa Catarina Street is the main #shopping street, lined with shops :) You'll find Portuguese-style clothing and items, and there are even cosmetics shops that sell items cheaper than duty-free shops.
Almost all the streets in Porto are incredibly clean, and there's not a single piece of trash in sight. It's incredibly well-organized... This is my impression of Porto✨ For a moment, I even thought about living in Portugal. 🌝

- Castelbel
#SoapShop #Castelbel!

Unlike other shops, this one sells ceramic soap cases. They're lighter than you'd think, and the shape of the soap resembles a Porto can, making them perfect souvenirs. :)
There are branches all over Porto, but the one I visited was near Brasão restaurant. What was surprising was that when you enter the store, you're directly connected to the next store without a door!
Sardines are a symbol of Porto, so you'll see a lot of sardine souvenirs in various shapes. Haha, they're so cute.

- Lello Bookstore
#LelloBookstore, known as the most beautiful bookstore in the world!

#HarryPotter author J.K. Rowling visited, making it even more famous and attracting more tourists. Now, you need a timed ticket to enter. However, they offer an 8 euro discount if you buy a book, so why not grab a book as a souvenir? 👀
The interior is symmetrical with geometric patterns, and the curved staircase in the center is particularly aesthetically pleasing. Surprisingly, this bookstore doesn't only stock Portuguese products; it also has separate spaces for famous novels, magazines, and small exhibitions from other countries.

- Comur
#Comur #CannedCanShop. The red color scheme is overwhelming, but the concept couldn't be clearer. Hahaha. Canned goods are displayed in rows, arranged by year. :)

- Milá
Ceramic store #Mila! This was one of the places I was really looking forward to, but when I actually went, the small shop was filled with cute artwork. They were selling simple yet high-quality tile magnets that looked like people dancing or playing instruments. They're hard to find anywhere else, so if you like them, I recommend getting them right away!

- Bolhão Market
It's in the heart of the city, so you'll naturally spot it as you pass by. Even when the sun shines directly on you, the arcade-like ceiling keeps it cool! And unlike other markets, it's surprisingly clean. 😝 There's a fruit stand near the entrance, and inside, they sell seafood. There's a piano in the innermost part, so you can listen to classical music while you browse the market. 😂

- Mohu Garden
Located on a high point in Porto, #Mohu Garden is a low-lying park! People are already gathering and sitting here just before sunset. A busker is belting out his song in front. The crowds are also very enthusiastic, making the atmosphere even more lively! The view from the bridge is amazing, so be sure to take a picture. After relaxing in the gardens until sunset and admiring the sunset, end the day with a seafood meal at a nearby restaurant. 💗

If Lisbon is yellow, Porto is blue. :)
