The city of Porto is advantageously located right on the Atlantic coast, meaning there is no shortage of beaches within easy walking distance of all the main attractions. For sunbathing or swimming, visit the sandy Praia dos Ingleses or Matosinhos. Watch the sunset while enjoying fine food and a few drinks on the promenade of Gondarem Beach, a rocky shoreline close to the city centre.

Porto is a very steep city, so one way to save your legs from doing all the climbing is by taking a funicular. The Guindais Funicular, in particular, connects you from the Ribeira neighbourhood, situated at the quayside, to Batalha, at the top of Porto. The journey takes about 3 minutes, and it costs around €2,50. Besides being a fun way to get from one part of the city to another, you will also get beautiful views over the Dom Luís I Bridge and the Douro River.

Stunning buildings and a great atmosphere make the Old Town fantastic to wander around. The marble-clad streets are some of the most fascinating in the world. The main street, Stradun, begins with an old monastery and ends in a great square. Throughout the Old Town, you will find plenty of restaurants, cafés and souvenir shops.

Ebba's House is a fascinating museum, which stands as a testament to the past, preserving a slice of history and offering visitors a captivating journey into the lives of Malmö's residents from a bygone era. The house, originally built in the 18th century, was owned by the Olsson family. Ebba and her mother were skilled lace and trimmings makers who worked from home. After her mother's passing, Ebba continued to live alone in the house. In 1984, due to her age, Ebba had to relocate, and she generously donated her home to the Malmö Museum. Following her passing in 1989, the museum acquired her old furniture and restored the house to its original state. In 1991, Ebba's House opened its doors as a local history museum, allowing visitors to step back in time and appreciate the rich cultural heritage of Malmö.
