Porto has its own charm that’s completely different from the Portuguese capital, making it a very unique city to visit in Portugal 🇵🇹

From walking around the streets of Porto’s old town to relaxing in cozy cafes, sampling port wine, and finding hidden gems, you definitely won’t find yourself short of things to do in Porto 🤩

Winter in Porto is the perfect time to explore the city without the crowds too! 🚶🏼‍♀️

One of the best ways to really experience Porto an One of the best ways to really experience Porto and get a feel for the city is by taking a food tour 🤩

We joined @portofoodtours for their Vintage & Port Wine Food Tour which lasts 3.5 hours and takes you to 7 locally run tasting spots 🍴

The cost for the tour is €89 and this includes 13 food tastings and 7 beverage tastings. You even get a masterclass in Port wine towards the end of the tour! 🍷

Our guide was very knowledgeable so we found the food tour to be a great way to explore Porto in just a few hours without getting hungry along the way 🚶🏼‍♀️

I’ve shared a few main highlights from our tour in this video, but I don’t want to give too much away 😉 

Would you like to take a food and port wine tour in Porto? 🇵🇹

If you’re short on time and want to see a big portion of the main attractions in under 2 hours, I’d recommend joining an open-top bus tour with @citysightseeingworldwide 🎟️

The red line will take you through the old town, along the coast, past some hidden gems, and finish with a drive near the famous Ribeira District 🚌

Have you been on a bus tour in Porto before? 🇵🇹

No trip to Switzerland is complete without visitin No trip to Switzerland is complete without visiting at least one mountain 🗻

We took a day trip to Mount Titlis in Engelberg, which has a lot of unique things to do at the top other than skiing 🎿

Even if you visit outside of winter, make sure you come better prepared than we did 😅

Have you been up any Swiss mountains before? 🇨🇭
