If you are planning to visit Porto in spring… you taken the right decision! Spring is one of the best time to visit Porto since the weather ir moderate and the touristic attractions aren’t as crowded. Spring is all about a new beginning. The trees grow leaves again, the flowers begin to bloom and the weather finally begins to improve. It’s the perfect time to get out and exercise before the temperatures become unbearable. So, here are some things you can do in Spring in Porto.
1. Ride a bike
Getting around the city by bike is a good option… the pavements are wide and on some roads there’s even a cycle lane! But I already know you’re thinking that you won’t travel with a bicycle, but don’t worry because we’ll give you a solution! Rent a bike. In the city of Porto there are many places that rent bikes… and for all tastes! Bikes for walking in the city, trekking, electric, for children, family bikes… many varieties. And you can rent for a whole day or just for a few hours.
So, here are some places where you can rent bikes in Porto.
2. Visit Zoo Santo Inácio
If while you are in town you get those windy and cold days, I advise you to take the time to visit the animals at the Santo Inácio zoo. The animals are very well looked after and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. So, visiting this place is not only for visiting the animals but also to educate people about the conservation of life.
So, I leave you here a curious fact: part of the value of the tickets you pay to visit the zoo are reverted to help and care for the animals.
