    Ahh no, Ryan Air are much much much worse than Jetstar. At least Jetstar don't try & flog lottery tickets! Give me Aer Lingus any day ☘️

    Transit options back to Porto with bikes in October

    Quiet hotel in Porto?

    I also stayed at 'Pau d'Azucar', (bread and sugar) and enjoyed the experience. Be sure to check out their cosy little bar and visit the glass display cases housing memorabilia, on the various floors. Be warned that one night in Porto is not enough!
