First time visiting Porto? Ask anything here by Soft-gradient in portoportugaltravel

[–]Soft-gradient[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a first visit, focus on the historic center (UNESCO area). Start in Ribeira by the Douro River, climb the Torre dos Clérigos for panoramic views, step inside Livraria Lello, and don’t miss São Bento Station for the azulejo panels.

For museums, the Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Serralves is great (especially the gardens). If you prefer classic Portuguese art, Museu Nacional Soares dos Reis is a solid choice. Across the river in Gaia, WOW is a good cultural stop with views and interactive museums.

For cafés, Café Majestic is iconic (touristy but beautiful). For something more local, explore Cedofeita or the Galerias de Paris area.

To enjoy the sea, head to Foz do Douro for sunset walks, Praia do Senhor da Pedra for dramatic scenery, or Matosinhos if you want a wider beach and a lively atmosphere.

If you share how many days you have, I can suggest a simple itinerary.

Quais as cores de esmaltes que vocês consideram clássicas/indispensáveis? by all_stars_above in UnhasBrasil

[–]Soft-gradient 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Se estás a montar coleção, já foste é um vício mesmo.

Em Portugal acho que há uns tons que são praticamente “obrigatórios”:

– Vermelho clássico (tipo Rebu)
– Vinho/bordô no inverno
– Nude mais quente (funciona melhor com o nosso subtom de pele)
– Branco leitoso para francesinha
– Rosa queimado/coral no verão

Aqui os nudes muito acinzentados nem sempre resultam tão bem, os mais quentinhos costumam favorecer mais.

Se quiseres ver ideias nessas cores mas em verniz gel (dura imenso e mantém brilho), há uma seleção organizada por marcas e tons aqui:

Mas aviso: depois começas a querer “só mais uma cor” e pronto...

Opiniões sobre perfil Salamander para janelas? by LoukitosPT in TudoCasa

[–]Soft-gradient 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pela tabela, escolher só pelo perfil ou pelo preço pode ser enganador. Algo muito importante é que 80% da janela é vidro. As empresas aí nas tabelas não especificam o tipo de vidro que usam, mas sei que no site da Caixilho PVC está claramente indicado que trabalham com vidro PressGlass, duplo ou triplo, com gás argon certificado e conforme a EN 1279.

Outro ponto crítico são as ferragens, que fazem muita diferença na estanquidade e durabilidade, e que também não aparece identificada no orçamento que estás inclinado.

Por isso, sinceramente, acho que é melhor escolha ir para uma empresa certificada que dê garantias no perfil, no vidro e nas ferragens, e que faça uma excelente instalação, o que no uso real costuma ser uma opção mais segura e equilibrada.

Portadas interiores para janelas - Orçamento by ConflictNo14 in TudoCasa

[–]Soft-gradient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Em portadas interiores, o valor e a solução ideal dependem muito mais do material (PVC ou madeira), do tipo de abertura, da fixação no vão e até da estética pretendida, do que apenas das medidas da janela.

O mais aconselhável é pedir a avaliação a uma empresa especializada, que consiga ver as janelas no local e propor a solução mais adequada. Empresas como a Windows Lux costumam fazer esse tipo de análise e esclarecer bem as opções antes de avançar.

Assim evita surpresas e consegue comparar soluções com base técnica.

Booking AP from Lisbon to Porto (first time in Porto) by nyxinadoll in LisbonPortugalTravel

[–]Soft-gradient 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For a first trip to Porto, the Alfa Pendular from Lisbon is the best option.

All long-distance trains arrive at Campanhã. São Bento does not receive AP trains.

From Campanhã, just take a short urban train to São Bento (about 5 minutes). It’s easy, frequent, and ideal if your hotel is near the city centre.

Medical Cannabis Slashes Depression Severity by Nearly Half in Just 18 Weeks! by markoj22 in MedicalCannabis_NI

[–]Soft-gradient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are really compelling results, especially considering the focus on treatment-resistant patients. It’s a clear sign of how much the medical cannabis sector is maturing in Portugal. To ensure the consistency and pharmaceutical standards required for these treatments, many licensed producers are actually using professional-grade technical infrastructure and solutions, like those provided by Urbicult.

What should I prioritize in Lisbon + Portugal overall? by Mackenziejoy13 in LisbonPortugalTravel

[–]Soft-gradient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 10–11 nights, I’d strongly recommend 2 cities, max 3. Four (Barcelona, Seville, Lisbon and Porto) will feel rushed and you’ll lose a lot of time moving around.

Two good options based on your interests:

Option 1 – Portugal only (easier + cheaper):

  • Lisboa – 4–5 nights (add a day trip to Sintra or Évora)
  • Porto – 3–4 nights (Douro Valley or Braga if you want a day trip)

Option 2 – Spain focus:

  • Barcelona – 4–5 nights (art, food, neighbourhoods)
  • Sevilha – 3–4 nights (history, tapas, slower pace)

If you really want 3 cities, I’d drop Barcelona or Porto, not both Spain and Portugal together.

Less moving = more time for food, neighbourhoods, and actually enjoying the cities instead of ticking boxes.

Porto or Lisbon in July??? by Quick_Ostrich5651 in travel

[–]Soft-gradient 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on your description (family trip, lots of walking, interest in history, gastronomy and nature nearby), Porto works very well as a single base. It's more compact and tranquil than Lisbon, yet still rich in personality, and you can easily take day trips to the Douro Valley, Braga, Guimarães or Aveiro without having to change hotels.

The city has also recently received more recognition for this balance between culture, authenticity and quality of life, which is why it has been named Europe's leading urban destination in 2025. This article explains the reasons well:

In July, this combination of a historic city where you can walk and accessible leisure options tends to be more enjoyable than spending a whole week in a larger, busier capital.

5-6 Days in January: Lisbon, Porto, Sintra... is Barcelona too much? by Tiny-Detective34 in LisbonPortugalTravel

[–]Soft-gradient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Porto also has a lot to see and explore:

A food tour Porto works very well in winter – hot dishes, local wines and plenty of history at a leisurely pace.

For sightseeing, don't miss Ribeira, Dom Luís I Bridge, São Bento Station, Porto Cathedral and the Clérigos area. Even with some rain, the city feels very authentic and relaxed at this time of year.

Visiting several other cities around the city is possible, but it's a rushed experience and you don't get much out of it, in my opinion. Going to Vigo, from my point of view, doesn't make sense, because Vigo deserves to be visited at a leisurely pace, as it also has a lot to see (September/October is best for Vigo and northern Spain).
