Creator's Key Takeaways

We had a tough time leading up to this cruise researching exactly the best way to get to Porto.

So, we're going to show you how we do it. Yeah, we're going to try to figure it out once we get to land.

It was easy to identify up high on the hill. We can work downhill and it's near the river and the bridge, train station.

What a beautiful day we had here. Just the authentic, you know, getting right in the culture and and seeing everything.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use Uber for direct rides from the port to downtown Porto, especially if splitting cost with others.
Start your exploration at the Porto Cathedral as a central point.

YouTube Video Description

Join us onboard the Norwegian Pearl for Day 4 of our 12-day cruise from Southampton to Rome! 🚢 In today’s vlog, we take you along for a full day of adventure as we sail into Porto, Portugal aboard the Norwegian Pearl. From a hearty breakfast at sea and a hilarious shuffleboard loss, to navigating the best way to reach Porto from the port of Leixões, we show you our spontaneous (but successful) route via Uber. We climb steep alleys to the iconic Porto Cathedral, enjoy breathtaking views from the Luís I Bridge, and sample authentic local treats—including the famed Portuguese egg tarts. Back onboard, we wind down with cocktails, a lovely dinner in the Summer Palace, and a night of laughs at the “Not So Newlywed” game show. All in all, an unforgettable day in Porto with plenty of stairs, sweets, and laughs. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Breakfast & Shufflboard Battle 2:30 - Finding Our Way to Porto by Uber 4:31 - Exploring the Cathedral & Views 6:43 - Walking the Luís I Bridge 8:45 - Train Station & Lunch 10:30 - More Porto & Pastel de Nada 14:00 - Back on the Ship & Dinner 18:00 - Evening Entertainment Hi, we are Jill and Jerry, and we invite you to subscribe to our channel.
