A couple of things we spent money on in Porto:
🏙A ticket to the @torredosclerigos bell tower for the views and to explore the church inside - €8,00 each
🥂Sangria Branca - €6,00
🍳A francesinha (sandwich originally from Porto covered in cheese and a tomato and beer sauce) - €9,90
🍷Port tasting, fado show and wine cellar tour at @calemporto via @getyourguide - £20.13 
Money well spent 💸 We had the best time! 
For the rest of the trip we did a lot of walking (the city is hilly so prepare for a🦵 workout), admiring the blossom and beautiful buildings, and walking the bridge, which was all freeee. We also bought soft drinks (and sangria👀) from small corner shops instead of going in cafes and bars all day to save some euros. 
It was very beautiful and I highly recommend✈
