Porto Day 1

Today we got up and went straight to the train station to leave Lisbon for Porto. It was about a 4 hour train ride. Once we got here we checked into our hostel. Which is so cool. Its inside of a historic train station that's regarded as one of the most beautiful train stations in the world. It's covered in 22000 individually painted tiles. All the different murals depict different historic events that have happened here, from victories in war, to royal weddings, and the evolution of travel. We were very indecisive for dinner but we finally found a traditional Portuguese restaurant where we had Portos famous dish, francesinha. It was so good but you'd definitely get heart problems if you ate this too often. We were too tired to do much after clogging up our arteries so we just walked around for a while exploring. We found a nice place to sit for a beer, turned out to be the most expensive beers ever. It was 17.5 € for 2 beers. Long story short, we won't be going back there. After drinking what should have been a 5€ beer, we found an old church that had a light show inside. I don't know if a mini rave in the church was in their plans when they built it, but the church always gets their money one way or another lol.Leggi altro
