Porto: 5 Fun things to do

A romantic cruise on the Douro River is a must if you are traveling to Porto with your better half. The Douro Valley is the greatest wine region in Portugal, with the famous sweet Porto wine originating in the cellars here.

A wine-tasting experience will include an excursion around the Douro Valley and a visit to one of the biggest cellars, where you can take a sip of the sweet bouquet of Porto wine.

A walk through the splendid gardens of the Palacio de Cristal is another romantic moment you can enjoy in Porto. Built in 1861, today the Crystal Palace in Porto houses numerous exhibits and vernissages, so a visit here might prove an educative experience as well.

For the more adventurous among you, there are parks where you can practice extreme sports (like extreme jet boating or kitesurfing).

A day on the football court is another fun thing to do (at least if you are a man). Soccer is big in Europe and Portugal is no exception. The local F.C. Porto, is an internationally acclaimed team, so a match may prove to be a quite spectacular occasion.
