You must see Serralves and some Port Wine Cellar, drink a beer in the afternoon at the "Zona Ribeirinha"
You must eat a Francesinha here: http://goo.gl/maps/2c59t
You should go out at night and get drunk at these places:
- Passos Manuel
- Maus Hábitos
- Plano BYou can go to the Photography Museum too, it's really central and it's in an old prison, so the building is really cool to visit (more than the exhibits there...)
- ESKEMA0
And Casa da Música of course...

Go out:
Piolho (everybody of every kind goes here and in the same square you have two other bars, so it's really crowded)
Maus Hábitos
Contagiartei don't remember more, live there in 2005
If you like galleries you have to go to Rua Miguel Bombarda

I hope you enjoy and have lots of fun.

personally a fan of Café Candelabro for drinks then round the corner to Armazem do Cha,
also check out the 'galleries' I cant' remember any of the names of any of the bars, I'll ask my mrs.Just remeber that the Portuguese do it late style, the party doesn't start until at least 2am.
