TIP OF THE WEEK
How to Conquer Mercado do Bolhão
To make the most of Porto's iconic food market, adopt a two-part strategy. Start on the ground floor to browse the vibrant stalls; it’s the perfect place to assemble a picnic with fresh bread, local cheese, and olives. Afterwards, head to the upper level's restaurants to enjoy a traditional sit-down lunch like grilled fish or the famous Francesinha, while soaking in the market's lively atmosphere from above.
