Porto Food Tour: From Francesinha to Port, Self-Guided App Tour

About this experience

Porto eats at the counter and drinks across the river. The walk opens in the iron galleries of Mercado do Bolhão, trading since 1914, then works through the city's sandwich canon: a bifana at Conga, the francesinha where Daniel David da Silva first built it at A Regaleira, buttered cachorrinhos at Gazela, and roast pork with Serra cheese at Casa Guedes. At Manteigaria a bell rings when the next tray of pastéis de nata leaves the oven. It ends in Gaia, where Sandeman has aged Port since 1790. Twelve stops, about 3.8 km.
