What to see in Porto?
Porto is fairly compact and very easy to explore on foot. The most enjoyable way to get to know the city is to wander through its medieval cobbled streets and 18th-century quarters.
The historic heart of the city is Ribeira. This riverside district invites you to lose yourself in a labyrinth of narrow streets and discover Porto’s most treasured architectural gems.
- Torre dos Clérigos
This is the city’s most recognisable landmark: a 75-metre-high baroque church faced in granite, dating from the 18th century. It was built between 1732 and 1750.
There are 240 steps to the top of the tower, and once you reach it a sweeping panorama of the coastline and the distant Douro valley opens up in front of you.
- Palácio da Bolsa
Dating from the mid-19th century, this building is Porto’s former stock exchange. Built on the site of a Franciscan monastery, its opulent interior is divided into a series of rooms and halls, each one captivating in its own way.
- Igreja de São Francisco
Step inside the beautiful Church of St Francis and you are surrounded by gold. Its 18th-century baroque interior is clad in gilded woodwork, so bright and lavish that many consider it one of the finest examples of gilt carving in the country.
This, of course, is only a small part of what you can see and do in Porto. The city has a great deal more to offer. So set off, discover this wonderful Portuguese destination and enjoy an unforgettable adventure.

A practical guide to the Kutaisi – Porto route
Which cities work best for a stopover?
Since there is no direct Kutaisi – Porto flight, the journey always consists of two legs: first from Kutaisi to a European hub, and then from that hub on to Porto. The most frequently used connecting points are:
- Milan — the Wizz Air flight from Kutaisi lands at Malpensa (MXP), and easyJet and Ryanair operate onward flights to Porto.
- Barcelona — this Spanish hub is one of the most convenient, as there are several flights a day to Porto.
- Warsaw, Budapest and Vienna — all three Central European cities are linked to Kutaisi by low-cost carriers, and Porto can be reached from each of them.
- Paris and Brussels — often the cheapest option, but keep in mind that low-cost airlines use Beauvais and Charleroi rather than the cities’ main airports.
One important detail: many large European cities have more than one airport. In Milan, for example, Wizz Air lands at Malpensa while part of Ryanair’s network operates out of Bergamo (BGY) — the two airports are about an hour and a half apart. Before you buy, always check whether both flights use the same airport; if they do not, the transfer will cost you extra time and money.
One booking or two separate tickets?
On this route the journey is often made up of two separate tickets with two different airlines. That is usually cheaper, but there are several important differences:
- With two separate tickets, the second airline is not responsible if your first flight is delayed — if you miss the connection, you have to buy a new ticket.
- Your checked baggage is not forwarded automatically: at the connecting airport you have to collect it, pass through passport control and check in again.
- For that reason, allow at least 4 hours for the connection, and if the second flight is in the evening, plan for an overnight stay.
With a single booking (both legs on one ticket) your baggage is checked through to Porto, and if a flight is delayed the airline itself will offer you an alternative.

- Time difference: Portugal is 4 hours behind Georgia in winter and 3 hours behind in summer.
