Oporto - Part I

Two weeks ago I spent less than 48 hours in Oporto but I made my mission, once again, to document my time is this beautiful city ! This post is just part I because I took sooo many photos I have to divide them between two posts (at least).

I've been wanting to visit Oporto for a long time now and this year has finally happened. Less than 2 full days wasn´t enough time to explore everything, but we manage to visit Serralves, Clerigos' tower, House of Music, the "ever so famous" Lello bookshop and also squeezed in a 50 min boat trip and endless hours spent on those tourists buses. 

The city is filled with old buildings, the people are super nice and talkative, the views are to die for specially near the river and I can't wait for another opportunity to go there.

- We stayed at Século Hotel which I highly recommend (the only downfall -  it's a little far from the city center/main areas but if you like to take a walk or two, it's perfect)!

- Enjoy !

 The "ever so famous" and rightly so - Lello bookshop  ! A must for any Oporto tourist

Clerigos' tower looking tiny (don't let the picture fool you!)

That green tile covered wall and pink curtains make this picture a lot cooler

And last but not least - House of Music
