Porto

Praça da Ribeira is in the heart of the old town. This is the view from Hotel Ribeira do Porto. It can get very crowded.

Porto knows how to welcome tourists, but it doesn’t change its features because of them. I have been there four times now and I still can’t wait to get back: this place has that one special ingredient that makes everything in life remarkable and addictive: charisma.

Still one of my favourite cities. It pulsates with passion, joy, and colours while the Douro refuels it.
