Tips for family activities in Porto.

Tips for family activities in Porto.

Porto is a great city to explore with families because you can have several different types of things to do in proximity: river, beach, city, mountains and lots of places to eat.

The obligatory places include the Ribeira area near the river, were local kids are jumping from the bridge in summer (yeah, it is tradition here, but they don't get hurt), the Crystal Palace gardens with its awesome views, the “Lello” library for the Harry Potter lovers and the beach side with quality roads for bicycle lanes and rocky beach for exploration.

Other places to visit:
1
World of discoveries
2
City park
3
Ride the old tram “Elétrico”
4
Short 7 bridges cruise along the Douro river

On the other hand, the city can be quite hard for the little ones, since it involves lots of walking and sometimes a rather boring destination for them.

That's why many families decide to take a day off from the frenzy and let them explore nature. The Gerês national park is the perfect fit for that, because it provides several hikes where they can swim in lagoons and waterfalls and spend their blessed energy, and at the same time, allowing them to see animals from the villages like cows and goats roaming free in the mountains.

This is the candy they are craving for after a few days of walking around in churches, crowded places and too much confusion.

If we have to sum up the main reasons to spend a day in Gerês with your family:

  • Nature gives them a good mood, health;
  • Let them spend their energy in a safe environment;
  • We have a car chair that we can provide for their safety (No extra fees);
  • We do private tours for families;
  • We have a kids menu at lunch;
