Get up early and head towards the beach in Miramar (Vila Nova de Gaia). As soon as you get there, start walking until you reach Gaia’s riverfront. Make sure to stop for one or two drinks along the way – you’re looking at a 7 to 8 km long journey.
Once you get to the riverfront, treat yourself to a well-deserved lunch. Remember that, if you don’t feel like having Portuguese food, there’s always the possibility to go for Indian or Japanese cuisine.
As soon as you feel re-energised, take the cable car uphill and enjoy awesome views over Porto. Cross the D. Luis bridge and keep on walking until you reach the S. Bento train station. This is your chance to contemplate its magnificent panels of tiles – in case you haven’t done so yet.
Hop on the public bus to “Mercado da Foz” and ring the bell as soon as you spot “Castelo do Queijo”. Pay a visit to “Sea Life” – Porto’s Aquarium – and spend a couple of hours learning about marine life, as well as Portuguese shores.
Just before getting back to the city centre, take a short afternoon walk by the sea until you reach the street “Nossa Senhora da Luz” (which you have passed when on the bus to the Aquarium). Have a coffee and pastries at “Tavi” and start preparing for the evening...
