Finally some sun again and more than 20 degrees. City tour through Porto and along the Douro River. Spring has caught us along with summer. It's wonderful to stroll outside again and eat and enjoy all the scents, views and the beautiful old town.

Today we arrived in Porto. Before we were allowed on the ship (not until 3 p.m.), we walked through the city. Up with the cable car, over the Dom Luis Bridge. Then to the Se do Porto Cathedral. On to Sao Bento station. It was beautiful😊

September 8, 2023,Porto, kleiner Stadtrundgang

Porto is totally overcrowded at the moment, we have never seen the city so full. But simply beautiful with its narrow streets.
