The tram in Porto has been running since 1872, and I recommend taking line 1 along the Douro. Porto is less crowded by tourists than Lisbon and just cozy and has excellent and inexpensive restaurants.

On a part of a large picture frieze (7×125 m) at the „Haus des Lehrers“ at Alexanderplatz, designed by Walter Womacka (1964).
