  • Hey, I live here! Hi from Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. I’m an American, but I’ve lived here for four years now. Public transportation here is really excellent - you get within like a 10 minute walk of anywhere you probably want to go on the metro, throughout the entire metropolitan area. Fun fact, the Porto metro is kind of unique in that it uses light rail train sets. So it’s kind of a “Stadtbahn”, as it runs underground in tunnels downtown, and at street level out of the city centre. But it’s always on dedicated tracks, never with traffic and never has to wait for a traffic light or anything. Very unusual! Anyways, if anyone wants to know anything about this beautiful city or its transportation network, ask away!
