Version: August 22, 2013
Foreword
This guide aims at providing the FPL 2013 participants with additional information the
organizers, and in particular the local organization committee members, thought it would be
of general interest. While some of the references to places and establishments referred to
here can be found elsewhere in popular guides or easily on the web using the popular search
engines, this document tries to gather some of our recommendations in a handy booklet. It
highlights some of the places we recommend to visit in Porto, some of the typical Portuguese
food specialties, and the places where you can taste Portuguese food and wines, including the
famous Port wine.
In a section named “Essential Portuguese”, we provide a summary of the sentences and words
you may like to learn and use during your stay in Porto. Not being recognized or accredited
experts, the content presented here is in no way an official translation guide.
Despite these ‘disclaimers’ we believe, and sincerely hope, that you find this guide useful and
possibly even keep it for future visits to Porto and/or Portugal.
Enjoy FPL 2013 and the ‘invicta’ city of Porto.
João M.P. Cardoso, Pedro C. Diniz, Katherine (Compton) Morrow, Ali Azarian, Ricardo Nobre,

Eating and Restaurants
Tipping: In Portugal waiters do not rely on them for their income as heavily as in other places.
Still, and depending on the level of service it is common to leave a tip between 5-10%.
A “bread charge” is restaurant-dependent and usually only charged if the bread is touched. We
recommend if you don’t want the bread/butter you politely ask the waiter to remove it.

Selected Porto Trips
With good weather, it is always a good option to walk in the riverside area, both in the south
side (“Vila Nova de Gaia”) and in the north side (“Ribeira”). Another option is to rent a bicycle
and pedal from “Ribeira” to “Foz”.
Trip A
Travelling by metro (line D, destination “Santo Ovídio”) exit at the “Jardim do Morro” metro
station. There you have a nice view of Porto from the other side of the Douro River.
1
From “Jardim do Morro” take the Gaia cable car (“Teleférico de Gaia”) down to the Gaia
riverside (the trip lasts about 5 minutes). Then, walk on the riverside. There you can taste Port
wine in one of the Port wine cellars. You can return by traversing the lower deck of the Dom
Luís I bridge and walk in “Ribeira” or by returning to the “Jardim do Morro” metro station
taking the Gaia cable car up.
Top: view from “Jardim do Morro”
Left: Gaia riverside seen from
“Jardim do Morro”
Right: the Dom Luís I arch metal
bridge seen from “Jardim do Morro”
Trip B
[Trip lasting around 40 minutes walking from “Jardim do Morro” to “Ribeira”] From “Jardim
do Morro” traverse the upper deck of the Dom Luís I bridge and turn left at the “Calçada de
Vandoma” in the direction of the “Sé do Porto” (Porto’s cathedral). There you can go down to
“Ribeira”. One of the interesting routes is through the stairs and narrow paths between
houses. Another possibility it to take the ”Ascensor da Ribeira” elevator (also known as
“Elevador da Lada”). The elevator is free and from its top you have a nice view of the Dom Luís
I bridge and of “Ribeira.
Buy your ticket at “Jardim do Morro” or on the riverside “Cais de Gaia” (south side of the Douro
River).

neighborhood from the Dom
Luís I bridge
Trip C
[Trip lasting around 30 minutes walking from “Ribeira” to “Rua de Santa Catarina”] Once at
“Ribeira” you can walk up in the direction of the “São Bento” train station. On the way up
from “Ribeira” in one corner on the right you can taste Port wines at Vinologia. Visit the “São
Bento” train station and see the panels with tiles (“azulejos”) in the walls. Then continue up to
the beginning of the “Santa Catarina” street (“Rua de Santa Catarina”). There you are in one
of the most typical commercial streets. Visit the “Café Majestic” (on your right). In the same
street, you can try a “Francesinha” at “Bufete Fase“ (no. 1147) or at “Santiago”, “Rua Passos
Manuel” (“Passos Manuel” street) no. 226, a street crossing the “Rua da Santa Catarina”, near
“Coliseu do Porto” (an auditorium).

Trip D
In the hotel bus stop take the 200 bus and go to the “Mercado do Bolhão” (“Bolhão” market),
the most famous, century old, Porto market. On the way you can stop and try a “Francesinha”
at the “Capa Negra II” restaurant (“Junta Massarelos” bus stop) or at the “Alicantina”
restaurant (“Planetário” bus stop). Both restaurants are easily seen from the respective bus
stops. If you like to try some Portuguese pastry and Éclairs you can enter at “Leitaria da Quinta
do Paço” (“Guil. G. Fernandes” bus stop).
