Azulejos tiles cover the fa\u00e7ades of private buildings in the city, with the purpose of protecting against humidity. However, the most famous azulejos tiles in Porto are covering the fa\u00e7ades of <a href=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/most-beautiful-churches-porto\/\"><span class=\"s2\">most of the churches<\/span><\/a>, as well as the atrium of the <a href=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/the-ghost-of-sao-bento-train-station\/\"><span class=\"s2\">S\u00e3o Bento train station<\/span><\/a>. If you want to learn more about the meaning of the scenes portrayed in Azulejos tiles in Porto, I recommend you to <a href=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/private-tour\/\"><span class=\"s2\">book a private tour with us<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another thing that you can do in Porto is to join an Azulejos tiles\u2019 workshop at <a href=\"https:\/\/gazeteazulejos.com\/tile-painting-workshops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"s2\">Gazete<\/span><\/a>. This is the perfect family activity as it lasts for 2h during which you will not only learn more about tiles but also be able to produce your own. Later you can either buy an Azulejo tile or you can pay a small extra fee so that Gazete mails you your own Azulejo tile produced in Porto. How cool is that?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Siza Vieira and Souto de Moura&#8217;s buildings<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-18828 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/siza-viera-tea-house-boa-nova-porto.jpg\" alt=\"siza vieira tea house boa nova porto\" class=\"wp-image-18828\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.co\/a2\/cdbef666\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LeonL<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I am not sure if you are familiar with the names \u00c1lvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto de Moura, but they are the most famous Portuguese architects. Both of them were born in Porto and both of them have their own Pritzker prizes, the most important architecture award in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have already published articles about the <a href=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/10-memorable-buildings-of-the-arquitect-siza-vieira-in-porto\/\"><span class=\"s2\">most important Siza Vieira\u2019s monuments in Porto<\/span><\/a>, as well as as <a href=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/souto-moura-buildings-porto\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Souto de Moura<\/span><\/a>\u2019s.

But in fact, when you arrive in our city you will immediately be immersed into this impressive baroque architecture that Porto is famous for.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are many examples of notable baroque architecture in Porto, mostly associated with the Italian master Nicolau Nasoni, who lived in our city during the first half of the eighteenth century. He was responsible for some notable baroque buildings, such as the famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/activity\/porto-l151\/porto-ingresso-torre-dos-clrigos-t57114\/?partner_id=H93B56T&amp;cmp=what-is-porto-famous-for\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Cl\u00e9rigos tower<\/a>. Another great example is the stunning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/pt\/pousada-do-porto-palacio-do-freixo.en.html?aid=1186505&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Pal\u00e1cio do Freixo<\/a>, which is now one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/best-luxury-hotels-in-porto\/\">most luxurious hotels in Porto<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another great example of the baroque period in Porto is the St. Francis church\u2019s interior, which is completely lined in baroque golden leaf. Do yourself a favour and head there (even if you are not religious at all), because it is quite impressive!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Douro river<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"668\" height=\"314\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18830 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/rabelo-boats-douro-river-porto.jpg\" alt=\"rabelo boats douro river porto\"><br>Even though the Douro river is not \u201cborn\u201d in Portugal but rather in Spain, it is in Porto where it fully reaches its magnificence as it meets its end in the Atlantic Ocean. The Douro river also divides two rival cities &#8211; Porto in the north, and Vila Nova de Gaia in the south. These two cities are connected by the <a href=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/discover-porto-bridges\/\"><span class=\"s2\">famous six bridges<\/span><\/a>, and the best way to admire them is to take the 6 Bridges cruise. It is basically a one hour boat ride during which you will be able not only to see the bridges but also to admire Ribeira, the Unesco\u2019s World Heritage neighborhood in Porto.<br>This activity is great if you need to relax a bit in between visiting museums and strolling around the city.

It is basically a night where thousands and thousands of people get together to eat, to watch the fireworks by Luiz I iron bridge and to hit strangers in the head with a plastic hammer. You should read my <a href=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/everything-about-sao-joao-festival-in-porto\/\"><span class=\"s2\">complete guide to S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o festival in Porto<\/span><\/a> to learn more about this and other crazy traditions of this amazing celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Almighty FC Porto, our local football club<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-18832 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/dragon-stadium-porto.jpg\" alt=\"dragon stadium porto\" class=\"wp-image-18832\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 FC Porto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You might have already realised that I am not a football fan (by football I mean the sports you play with your foot, not with your hands). Therefore I am quite impervious to the popularity of our famous local team FC Porto, but I do recognise that it is definitely one of the reasons that Porto is famous for.<br>I believe that the best way to really understand what FC Porto means is to watch a game at Est\u00e1gio do Drag\u00e3o, or the Dragon stadium as they call it in English. However, if you cannot attend a football game then I recommend you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.co.uk\/porto-l151\/fc-porto-excursao-estadio-e-museu-t99348\/?partner_id=H93B56T&amp;cmp=what-is-porto-famous-for\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">get the online ticket to visit Est\u00e1dio do Drag\u00e3o.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/best-port-wine-lodges-porto\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Port wine cellars<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-18833 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/port-wine-cellars.jpg\" alt=\"port wine cellars\" class=\"wp-image-18833\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.co\/a2\/21cf91\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Breno Peck<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Port wine cellars are probably the most unique thing that Porto is famous for. Even though Port wine is not produce in Porto but in the <a href=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/top-vineyards-in-douro-valley\/\">best vineyards of Douro Valley<\/a>, until the 80s this fortified drink had to be aged in the cellars in Porto. Therefore the wine started to be known worldwide from the place it had to be aged, bottled and shipped from: Porto.<br>Even if you are not a Port wine drinker I really think you should pay a visit to the cellars just to see the impressive amount of ancient barrels lying there. You can even combine it with a Fado show for a more special experience.

It basically consists of a massive sandwich that has a steak, three different kinds of sausages, everything covered in a spicy tomato sauce and served with french fries and a cold beer. Does it sound caloric? Because it surely is (I am not even going to tell you how many calories it has otherwise you will not try it :P). What I can tell you right away is <a href=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/best-francesinha-in-porto\/\"><span class=\"s2\">where to have the best francesinhas in Porto<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another immensely popular dish among locals is tripas \u00e0 moda do Porto, a heartwarming stew made with white beans, the cow\u2019s stomach, different types of sausages, carrots and white rice. I know it sounds terrible but you can take my word for it because I am truly a foodie. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Tripas \u00e0 moda do Porto is a specialty dish that is most commonly served on Thursday\u2019s lunchtime at the <a href=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/best-traditional-restaurants-porto\/\"><span class=\"s2\">best traditional restaurants in Porto<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Canned fish<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-18835 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/canned-fish-porto.jpg\" alt=\"canned fish porto\" class=\"wp-image-18835\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.co\/a2\/a2248d11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stijn<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You cannot possibly visit our city and not try the canned fish that Porto is famous for. The canned fish is produced all around the country but most notably in Matosinhos, a city just north of Porto.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Unlike what people think, we don\u2019t simply eat canned sardines &#8211; there are plenty of other canned fish varieties like mackerel, horse mackerel, codfish, octopus, squid\u2026 you name it! They also come in different sauces like olive oil, tomato, spiced tomato, pickled peppers, etc. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The combinations of fish &amp; spices are endless so my recommendation is for you to head to one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/portuguese-grocery-stores-porto\/\"><span class=\"s2\">beautiful traditional Portuguese grocery stores in Porto<\/span><\/a> and get several cans from different brands. Then head home, open a couple of them and serve them with rice cookies, a long cured cheese and a bottle of red wine.
