We went down to the riverfront. Porto is a popular tourist destination. The city was packed with people and it is quite hilly. Lots of shops selling souvenirs: anything made with cork, tiles like the ones that cover every building and wine. We needed quiet and reflection, not a carnival atmosphere. We walked around and by late afternoon came back to the hotel for a long sleep.
Livraria Lello is a unique bookstore. Very fancy with a unique staircase. The line was over an hour to get in. Plus the 16€ ticket fee discouraged us from going. There is a local legend that scenes from Harry Potter were filmed here, that is not true.
Porto, like most cities in Europe has plenty of churches. This one, Clerigos, is Baroque style built in the 1800’s. It is currently part church and part museum.
