24 Hours in Porto - A Travel Video

24 Hours in Porto under 3 Minutes

Porto, the city that must be added to your travel list. After many failed plans to visit the city, finally, I could make it even if it was for 24 hours.

Three hours by bus from Lisbon and would cost you 20€ to reach this beautiful city. You can also get other means of transport like Train or Flight. I choose the bus trip so I could see the countryside of Portugal like Fatima and Coimbra.

The hilly city connected with Metro lines that would cost you 1.25€ and of course lots of tourists from all around the world. Even though 24 hours was too short for a visit and if you would like to feel the city. Then I would recommend you to stay for longer period of time as for me I could not visit the beach areas and could not experience late night parties.

More images and the description will come in future posts. Some of the places as shown in the video are:

  1. Livraria Lello
  2. Luís I Bridge
  3. Douro River
  4. Porto Cathedral
  5. Rua de Santa Catarina: Shopping Street
  6. Church of Sao Pedro dos Clerigos
  7. Avenida dos Aliados
  8. and around the city
Location: Porto, Portugal

Erasmus in Lisbon, Portugal

Lisbon, capital of Portugal and personally a place where I feel like my second home. Let me tell you story of me being in this lovely place and it all starts with Erasmus Scholarship.  While selecting scholarship my main aim was to watch FC Barcelona play and Instituto Superior Tecnico, University of Lisbon was one of the college offering the Master's degree I was intending to study. For me, this was a perfect moment to study what I wanted and also watch my dream team play as it falls in Schengen region and Spain is just next door. Apart from my initial thoughts to come to Portugal, this country has made me feel at home. I had good company here with few friends from Bhutan and rest I met here. This maybe because of freedom which I felt or could be due to a new place. I found an answer while I went to travel around other places that it was Lisbon that gave me the feeling of joy. As soon as the aeroplane touched the ground and heart was filled with the joy of being hom

Torre de Belém Torre de Belém is one of significant monument in Lisbon. It is located near the mouth of Tagus river and symbolise the country's age of discovery during 16th century.  It was sunny and of course a hot day in Lisbon. I still remember the weekend, when I visited the site. The breeze from the river changed everything and made me feel like to walk there all day. It was refreshing, lots of people and with the awesome view. To visit this beautiful structure all you need is to catch Metro and then take Train even though you have other alternatives to go there. Metro in Lisbon is 1.45 Euros per ride and Train to Belem is 1.30 Euros per ride, if you have rechargeable card else you need to pay 50 cents for one card. Grab the metro and go till one of the end terminal of Green (Verde) line. The name of terminal is known as Cais do Sodré  and after you exit metro follow the signs towards Train. The trains usually go every 20mins towards Cascais. Belem station is like t

Europe Travel | 5 Countries, 9 Cities and 20 days | Budget and Trip Plan Day 1-5: Brussels and Antwerp | Belgium The three hours journey started nearly around midday from Brussels in a Bus towards Amsterdam. One of the good things was that there was free WiFi on the bus and I was constantly checking the map to see when I would enter Netherland apart from listening to music. I could see the border approaching in the map and I took a look outside there was no walls or anything as far as I could see. I thought to myself who have seen many walls to mark the boundaries that this is how the world should have been. Sorry for going out of topic but yes this was something beautiful thing that I observed. You will know that yo
