Porto away advice please

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Direct....can't do the 4 days though :cry:

It was still working out at £95 each though so they must be hiking their proces already....will keep looking as sometimes they lay on extra flight etc and I know Ryanair have cut alot of their winter flights. :banghead:

i did porto away in 2006. it rained a lot but i'd recommend it (take an umbrella tho)

2 nights (3 max)
good, cheapish little bars/cafes/restaurants down by the water in the old town (ribeira district) was were everyone gathered in the square before & after game - they stayed open late (4am ish) the night of the game

walk over the bridge (scary when it is windy - but well worth it) & go to the port distillaries on the other side of the river

they were really strict on the metro about having tickets & had loads of police at the station where the stadium is & made people who didn't have tickets get in a massive queue to buy one before they would let them out

i did a bus tour which was good, as the outskirts were really pretty - but i know that this takes a hour out of drinking time so some of you may not wanna do it! :lol:

im too skint to go this time - saving my pennies for when we get through to the next round :barscarf: :barscarf:
