Now as we know how to travel to and in Portugal, I can show you the first impressions about Porto after arriving there. I can tell you if you go there, you will definitely walk a loooooot! So prepare your best comfy shoes, not the high heels girls! Whenever I saw a Portuguese girl or somebody walking in high heels, I admired them, but wouldn't sacrifice my feet for the look, sorry (not sorry). :D The streets are full of cobblestones, even the roads for cars yes.. The whole city is full of steep roads as well.
So, let me show you where I lived first. You already know how to find an accommodation, so this is what I found, and I really liked the result! ;)

This is the thing I got at the airport for 5 euros.. :'D
And this was my breakfast on the first morning. |
Oh, sorry for the mess, that's how a room looks like when you move away for a few months, maybe you know it already. So here you can see that we had our own door for the balcony, which was super cool. In the winter sometimes it was warmer to stay outside than in the house because in Portugal there is no central heating in most houses. I think I never felt this cold for such a long time, just in Portugal XD And you would think that it's warm, but no, not always. I slept with leggings and fury pajama pants on me, and I was still cold LOL

When I was younger and I traveled somewhere my dad always told me to take pictures of everything, and that includes bathrooms/toilets as well haha This time I'm not gonna show you that :D
In the first day me, my roommate J, and our friend, B went for a walk to look around in the neighborhood. In that day we walked around 8 km, which was super tiring because in Porto everyday is a leg day, as B would say. While looking around, we found the first cafe shop with pastries, and we stopped for a moment to try the very famous Pastel de Nata. It's the best with a lot of cinnamon on top! ;)

We were lucky to live in this neighborhood because pretty close to use there was the best football stadium in Porto, Estadio do Dragao. I also went there twice, even if I'm not a big football fan. It is an awesome experience!
On the other hand next to the stadium, there is a big mall with a lot of shops, cinema and also a supermarket called Continente, which is the most famous one in Portugal. In the first days, we needed time to think about what we need for living, so when we decided we went prepared. It turned out hilarious and awkward, so that story is going to be in a next article ;)
