    I have visited many countries and cities over the years and I have to say without any reservation that Porto is at the very top. Not #2 not #3 but the absolute #1. I simply cannot find any other combination of beauty, culture, weather, food, safety, people as in Porto. Just absolutely mind-boggling

    Porto is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe! I had the pleasure of visiting about 5 years ago and stayed at charming "boat hotel" on the river Douro where the sunsets and sunrises on the water were stunning. Thank you for reminding me of this magical places, and for adding in all kinds of tidbits I missed the first time around. You two are fabulous guides!

    If anyone goes to Porto please take time to go on the scenic train from Porto up the Douro river to Picinho . We went on a Sunday when you get longer at this station. There isn’t a lot to see & we wondered what we were going to do, but we ended up going to a local restaurant that the Train driver & conductor went into for Sunday lunch . It was very Portuguese/ authentic & quite cheap for one of the best meals we had in Porto😊 . Also, the Sao Bento station is beautiful with the blue tiles . Not sure whether Oliver & Stephanie will show anymore of Porto in another vlog ?

    I visited Porto last year with my mom and cousin, seeing many of these sites. It is so wonderful to have the history and background descriptions of the beautiful sites we visited from the two of you!! I love this type of vlog. So accessible and enriching for all, even anyone who hasn't yet had the chance to visit Porto.

    I rarely give a negative remark, but Ollie, I did notice that you wore your lovely hat inside the church. That was a huge no-no when I was young.😅

    You both are perfect working together in such sync as , you just can pick right up where the other leaves off, and each word spoken so distinctly. Really do enjoy the excitement you both show and your ability to explain the hx of each place visited !

    A very well researched and charming video about a great city.
    Stephanie, consider wearing comfortable low heel lace up shoes, like simple flat trainers or similar lace ups, which cushion and support your feet instead of those unhealthy pointy shoes which make you scrunch up your feet with every footstep and are definitely bad for your hips. Comfort before style on any longer walk will save you a lot of pain, including on you morning walk back home !

    I stayed in Porto in 1980 for work and on arrival at the hotel my boss made me choose between the two room keys and I got a lovely suite with air conditioning and huge bath. Next day my boss didn't appear at breakfast so I had to get the concierge open his door and he appeared looking dreadful, he didn't get any sleep, the room was tiny and there was no air condtioning and the windows didn't open ! His assistant had booked me that room and my room of course was his! I will never forget the Porto cellars, so cool and tasting the different years and then going outside to 40° heat and falling flat on my face !

    When you see those beautiful doorways locked up with a chain and padlock you can often see daylight through the crack in the door. Portugal was very poor until recently and now many of those lovely old gutted buildings are being renovated inside...there are cranes all over Lisbon and Porto fixing up those interiors. Everyone should visit to see the gorgeous faded glory before it's all cleaned up and made new. It's incredibly beautiful.

Had to laugh when you ended up in MacDonald’s , as my husband and I never go in them but we did go in there for a coffee due to atrocious weather. ( rain ).Lovely chandeliers 😊 .We, also ,went in the Majestic cafe -lovely cake 🍰.
