Looking for any advice on doing a long weekend in Porto

Planning on heading out in early June for 3 nights 

What do you need to know? I stayed there for 2 nights, seemed very nice but I don't know much.

I stayed near the river in Saõ Nicolau, north side of the Ponte Luis. Seemed like this would be a bit of a happening area which wasn't much the case (not dead either), but we did have a craft beer bar (Cervejaria Cask Beer) and a port and petiscos bar (Wine Chalet) right by our hotel (Porta Nobre).

You have to be aware though that stepping even a road back from here is essentially going up a huge hill. You would come walk down it (dodgy knees aside) but up is a serious hike! You can uber easily and insanely cheaply though. It's only about £12 from the airport even.

The other district to stay up the hill would be Baixa, near the cathedral and the Mercado do Bolhão.
