The famous Port wine really is a delicacy that should be more than enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, before I talk about all these wonders, I'll tell you a little about the history of this incredible city.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> History of Porto<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Porto is known as the undefeated city. But this is not just because it has participated in wars with the world's greatest empires, but because of something that is linked to Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This title was given by Queen Maria II herself, daughter of Pedro IV (Pedro I of Brazil) in recognition of her efforts during the liberal struggles. <br>D. Maria II complied with her father's wishes and ordered new elements to be added to the coat of arms, including the title of \"invicta\" for the city of Porto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/O-QUE-FAZER-NO-PORTO-CRISPELOMUNDO-BLOG-DE-VIAGEM-EM-FAMILIA-PORTUGAL-GUIA-COMPLETO-ONDE-IR-ROTEIRO82.jpg\" alt=\"CABLE CAR PORT CITY\" class=\"wp-image-10372\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But what do you mean, Cris? What does this have to do with Brazil? The siege of Porto lasted more than a year, the city was besieged, suffered from war, hunger and disease, but remained strong and undefeated by defending the liberal ideals of Pedro. While his brother Miguel tried to seize power in favor of the absolutist forces. Of course, there's no way not to mix this war with the history of Brazil.<br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Let me explain:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p> <br>Portugal decided to move its empire to Brazil in order to continue ruling the country, a great strategy for Napoleon not to be able to take over Portuguese power. However, this didn't stop Napoleonic troops from trying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/O-QUE-FAZER-NO-PORTO-CRISPELOMUNDO-BLOG-DE-VIAGEM-EM-FAMILIA-PORTUGAL-GUIA-COMPLETO-ONDE-IR-ROTEIRO47.jpg\" alt=\"WHAT TO DO IN PORTO COMPLETE ITINERARY CITY GUIDE\" class=\"wp-image-10373\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, Portugal was still the victim of three French invasions, which were expelled by Luso-British troops. Napoleon tried so hard, but was unable to take Porto. I said that Porto was crazy, it really is the undefeated city! <br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, to continue the story, in 1820, in Porto, there was a liberal revolution, which made it necessary to create the Constitution of 1822, demanding the return of the court to Portugal. <br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Absolutism vs. Liberalism<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>D.\nJo\u00e3o IV, the monarch of the time, returned to Portugal and left D. Pedro IV (Pedro I of Brazil) in Brazil.\nPedro IV (Pedro I of Brazil), who ended up proclaiming Brazil's\nindependence of Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Lisbon, Jo\u00e3o IV follows the constitution, where the king plays a symbolic role, but four years later Jo\u00e3o IV dies and everything begins to change.<br>D. Pedro I of Brazil was now Emperor and could not rule two nations. This would be easily solved if D. Pedro abdicated the throne of Brazil or if D. Miguel, his brother, did not ascend the throne. Pedro abdicated the throne of Brazil or if Miguel, Pedro's brother, was not an avowed supporter of absolutism, so if he ascended the throne, the constitution would be in danger! A lot of negotiation took place until a solution was reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSCF7953.jpg\" alt=\"RUA DAS FLORES PORTO\" class=\"wp-image-10380\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br>D. Pedro IV decided to abdicate his Portuguese throne to his daughter Maria da Gl\u00f3ria (Maria II), who was only 7 years old. In the meantime, in 1826, he drew up the Constitutional Charter of 1826, replacing the Charter of 1822, and tried to reconcile the absolutists and the liberals by leaving his brother Miguel as regent for Maria II.<br> <br>But King Miguel was thirsty for power and his absolutist ideal couldn't wait. He convened traditional courts, annulled the monarchy and crowned himself an absolutist king!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Porto's strength<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A perfect move, if Porto and D. Pedro IV weren't so strong. As soon as Pedro I of Brazil learned of this betrayal, he abdicated the Brazilian throne, leaving his son Pedro II of Brazil in power as Emperor of Brazil and returned to Portugal to lead the movement for the restoration of the constitutional monarchy in Portugal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a very complicated period that lasted a little over a year, from 1832 to 1833, but Porto remained strong and faithful throughout! The Cidade Invicta protected the liberalist ideal and stood by D. Pedro, even through hunger, disease and, of course, a lot of war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, D. Pedro IV said that his heart would always be in Porto and so it is to this day. When he died, his daughter D. Maria II gave her father's heart to the city, leaving it in the Igreja da Lapa where it remains to this day.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/O-QUE-FAZER-NO-PORTO-CRISPELOMUNDO-BLOG-DE-VIAGEM-EM-FAMILIA-PORTUGAL-GUIA-COMPLETO-ONDE-IR-ROTEIRO84.jpg\" alt=\"INCREDIBLE SUNSETS IN THE CITY OF PORTO\" class=\"wp-image-10375\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It's a beautiful story, isn't it?

As soon as we entered, we were amazed by the wealth of detail and the grandeur of the history depicted on its walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSCF8007.jpg\" alt=\"SAO BENTO STATION IN PORTO COMPLETE GUIDE\" class=\"wp-image-10379\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Tradition is marked in those tiles, from royalty to the countryside, it's beautiful!

Both were built in the 19th century and their architecture takes your breath away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surely you've seen a photo of the Louis I Bridge, one of the symbols of the city! Its marvelous architecture and beauty was finished by a student of Gustave Eiffel, that's right! Did you recognize the name? Gustave was the same person who created the Eiffel Tower, another world-famous monument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/O-QUE-FAZER-NO-PORTO-CRISPELOMUNDO-BLOG-DE-VIAGEM-EM-FAMILIA-PORTUGAL-GUIA-COMPLETO-ONDE-IR-ROTEIRO69.jpg\" alt=\"- Cris Around the World\" class=\"wp-image-10369\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You can cross the bridge on foot and the sight of the golden Douro at your feet is simply delightful! As a person who is terrified of heights, I forgot all about this landscape and was stunned by its beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Port wine<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p> <br>Of course, there's no shortage of wine on the itinerary. Oba, Port wine! But what makes this wine so famous? Its richness, intensity of aroma and unparalleled diversity. In addition to its high alcohol content, between 19 and 22%.<br> <br>I had the pleasure of visiting the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia and trying the Ruby, Tawny, white, rose and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSF3848.jpg\" alt=\"- Cris Around the World\" class=\"wp-image-10885\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It's a very pleasant walk and finding a good cellar isn't difficult. There are several ways to taste this marvel, from a simple tasting accompanied by snacks to a complete visit to the laboratory of the Douro and Port Wine Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Cable car<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After the cellars go straight to the cable car, it's really close and seeing the city from above is a great privilege.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/O-QUE-FAZER-NO-PORTO-CRISPELOMUNDO-BLOG-DE-VIAGEM-EM-FAMILIA-PORTUGAL-GUIA-COMPLETO-ONDE-IR-ROTEIRO65.jpg\" alt=\"WHAT TO DO IN PORTO COMPLETE GUIDE CABLE CAR ROUTE VILA NOVA DE GAIA\" class=\"wp-image-10371\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Right next to the Douro River, where the sunset turns it golden with a more than magical moment. In fact, does the name Douro come from this beautiful moment?<br> <br>It's a quick ride, but one that stays in our minds forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Rua de D. Hugo Archaeological Site<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Right in the heart of Porto's historic center, you can travel back in time and learn about the first human occupations in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 20 archaeological layers and a depth of three meters!!! If you like history and archaeology, this is a must-see and should not be left off your list of things to do in Porto. I told you that this would be a guide full of tips on the undefeated city.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cl\u00e9rigos Tower<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A beautiful tower in the middle of Porto. It's almost impossible not to notice the majestic tower that for many years was the tallest building in Porto. There are many steps to get to the top, but it's worth every effort - the view of the city from the top is beautiful.<br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/O-QUE-FAZER-NO-PORTO-CRISPELOMUNDO-BLOG-DE-VIAGEM-EM-FAMILIA-PORTUGAL-GUIA-COMPLETO-ONDE-IR-ROTEIRO36.jpg\" alt=\"WHAT TO DO IN PORTO COMPLETE GUIDE CLERIGOS TOWER\" class=\"wp-image-10370\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br> The Cl\u00e9rigos Tower has had a number of functions over the years. As well as being a bell tower, it has been used to mark time, as a commercial telegraph and even as an orientation marker for ships. Many other functions came with time and it was even used as a strategic point for military and political battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Churches and tiles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The port has many churches, but some stand out for the beauty and rich detail of their tiles.<br>For me, the most beautiful of them is the Capela da Alma or Capela de Santa Catarina, located in the parish of Santo Ildefonso, simply beautiful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/O-QUE-FAZER-NO-PORTO-CRISPELOMUNDO-BLOG-DE-VIAGEM-EM-FAMILIA-PORTUGAL-GUIA-COMPLETO-ONDE-IR-ROTEIRO16.jpg\" alt=\"- Cris Around the World\" class=\"wp-image-10377\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Allow yourself to explore the city in a variety of ways and discover a treasure around every corner!<br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lelo Bookshop<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Who hasn't heard of the story of Harry Potter?

Sea Life in Porto is very concerned about carbon emissions, I thought it was cool that they have a carbon positive initiative, but what does that mean?

There's even a movie theater with incredible documentaries to further enrich the city's history.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/O-QUE-FAZER-NO-PORTO-PORTUGAL-GUIA10.jpg\" alt=\"WOW WORLD OF WINE PORTO MUSEUM\" class=\"wp-image-10877\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Museums:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The Wine Experience - Wine<\/li><li>Planet Cork - Cork<\/li><li>Porto Region Across The Ages - History of the city of Porto<\/li><li>The Chocolate Story - Chocolate<\/li><li>The Bridge Collection - Glass collection<\/li><li>Porto Fashion &amp; Fabric Museum<br><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pal\u00e1cio da Bolsa or Pal\u00e1cio da Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Comercial do Porto<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Without a doubt, it has to be one of the things to do in Porto. It's a beautiful building from 1842!  It's a mixture of architectural features, from 19th century neoclassical to English neo-Palladian and even Tuscan architecture. <br>Its staircase is marvelous and its rooms are incredible, even more so when you realize that not everything you see is real, many of the woods in the room are actually plaster, incredible! The wealth of detail is astonishing. In the Arab Hall, a glittering and beautiful room, undoubtedly the highlight of the visit! <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/O-QUE-FAZER-NO-PORTO-PORTUGAL-GUIA14.jpg\" alt=\"- Cris Around the World\" class=\"wp-image-10881\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The city of Porto is simply incredible!
