On our last full day in Porto, we had a late start. I think we had breakfast at our hotel between 9:30-10. The time on the picture I took in the breakfast room was 9:55 am. The picture above was the view!
After we left our hotel, we went to the train station to take pictures again. This was around 10:45 am. We got coffee inside the train station before heading on our way. We then returned to Fernandes Mattos & Ca., where we took our walking tour. We wanted to go back and look at some of the products and the upstairs. I almost bought some Portuguese sandals, but I was having issues with the fit, so I decided against them. Upstairs, there is the tile workshop. You can paint your own or purchase pre-made ones.
We then walked over to Stock Exchange Palace. It is over by the St. Francis Church. Luckily, we were able to get tickets for the 12:30 English tour.
After our tour, we walked to Rua de Flores to look for a place to eat lunch. We decided on Floresta Cafe by Hungry Biker. I got some delicious gluten-free tofu, mushroom, and avocado toast! It was delicious!! This was just around 2 pm.
We then walked to get on the 500 bus that takes you along the seaside. The STCP line 500 double-decker bus in Porto runs a scenic coastal route from São Bento Station to Matosinhos Market. Try to get the front-row seats on the second floor or at least on the left side of the bus!
Once we got off the bus, we walked around for a bit. It started to pour, so we walked to the closest bus stop to get back on to head back.
Once we got off again, we walked back to our hotel in the rain and then ordered food for dinner! I got a vegan burger and a vegan pastel de nata.
