Don't miss
Outstanding traditional food
When traveling to Porto you should definitely try our typical dish which is Francesinha. Francesinha is inspired by the french sandwich Croque monsieur but with a lot more filling. It contains a steak, traditional sausages, cheese, and special sauce with a secret recipe. It is accompanied by french fries and a fried egg on top and it really works well with a big mug of Super Bock (Portuguese beer). Some of the best restaurants for trying francesinha are Santiago, Capa Negra, O Tucano.
Other typical dishes which you should try is everything containing Bacalhau (codfish), Tripas and fresh fish.
What to pack
Don't bring high heels :)
When visiting Porto make sure you bring comfortable shoes (and, if traveling during winter, don't forget your umbrella). The city is quite hilly so there is a lot of climbing involved while sightseeing. Besides that, most of the streets are covered in cobblestone which makes heel wearing rather difficult and sometimes even dangerous. Flat shoes will help you go a long way (literally).
