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.
Sunset over #Porto skyline.
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.
