Dom Luis Bridge

Manzara

Dom Luis Bridge is a true icon of the city of Porto and a marvel of 19th century engineering. The Dom Luís I Bridge spans the River Douro between Porto on the north bank and Vila Nova de Gaia on the south bank. The banks of the River Douro are granite. Spanning the river in two different locations less than a mile apart are the bridges of Luis I, King of Portugal and his royal bride, D. Maria Pia. The bridge of Luis looks remarkably similar to that of Maria. Both bridges have enormous iron webs and arches supporting transit over the river. The reason they look alike is simple. The D. Maria Pia bridge was designed by Gustave Eiffel, famous for his tower in Paris. The Dom Luis bridge was designed by Teophile Seyrig. Seyrig had partnered with Eiffel on the D. Maria Pia bridge and the Eiffel Tower. The span of the Luis Bridge is 564 feet and the height is 146 feet.

Torre dos Clérigos

Tarihi

Clérigos Tower is the foremost undisputed landmark of Porto and a reference in the city's history. Clérigos Tower opened its doors in 1763, becoming the highest bell tower of Portugal, with over 75 metres. In 1753 the Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni was invited to design and build this magnificent Heritage, considered National Monument since 1910. The famous church was built in the eighteenth century, between 1732 and 1749 and this was the most emblematic work of the architect Nicolau Nasoni. Is one of the most beautiful temples of baroque feature, and a reference in the history of Porto. The Exhibitions allow to discover the history of the Brotherhood of Clérigos, admire pieces from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century, in painting, furniture, jewellery and vestment collections. Christus collection, on the 3 floor, is a trip through time and space where art and religion complement each other.

Bolsa Palace

Tarihi

The Stock Exchange Palace is a historical building in Porto, Portugal. The palace was built in the 19th century by the city's Commercial Association in Neoclassical style. It is located in the Infante D. Henrique Square in the historical centre of Porto, designated World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Visiting the inside of this palace will undoubtedly offer you a different experience.

Avenida dos Aliados

Manzara

"Aliados" is the city's clamorous commercial hub. A vibrant and entertaining overview of everyday Porto can be gleaned by strolling the length of this broad double avenue. Lined both sides with shops, stores, boutiques, cafés, and restaurants.

Miradouro da Rua das Aldas

Gizli Yerler

Miradouro means “lookout” and there are a lot of great, hidden Miradouros in Porto. You can always google Miradouros to find some but I suggest starting at the one right below the Porto Cathedral. This spot is great in the mornings if you’re hoping to see a sunrise in Porto. So many red rooftops from thie viewpoint!

Livraria Lello

Kütüphane

Ostensibly a bookshop, but even if you’re not after books, don’t miss this exquisite 1906 neo-Gothic confection, with its lavishly carved plaster resembling wood and a stained-glass skylight. Feels magical? Its intricately wrought, curiously twisting staircase was supposedly the inspiration for the one in the Harry Potter books, which JK Rowling partly wrote in Porto while working here as an English teacher from 1991 to 1993. If you buy a book, the entrance is €5 for this amazing library.

São Bento Railway Station

Tarihi

One of the most beautiful train stations in Europe. You should definitely visit this train station. If you came by train you will, for sure, have arrived at Porto Campanha, a modern station that serves the main lines. But in the São Bento railway station, travel without leaving the station and admire the azulejos, these beautiful Portuguese tiles which depict historical life scenes. São Bento Railway Station is in the city centre, so you’ll probably walk past it several times during your stay. Don’t miss discovering its main hall. You can take a train to the Douro Valley or to any of the picturesque villages in the region from São Bento station. If you have enough time, we recommend exploring Guimarães, Braga and Viana do Castelo.

Church Francis

Kilise

The Franciscan Order was established in Porto around 1223. Initially, the order was antagonised by the secular and clergy of other religious institutions, particularly by the bishop of Porto. It took a papal bull, the Bulla Doelentis accepimus by Pope Innocent V, to restore to the Franciscans the plot of land previously donated to them. They began building the convent and a first, small church dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi around 1244.

Café Majestic

Mutlaka Görülmeli

This sparkling gem of a coffeehouse is unmistakable. Inside, a vintage 1920s' ambience percolates the salon. Arranged throughout the lavish interior are the original carved wood chairs and marble-topped tables that lend Majestic its delightfully bohemian flavor. Cherubs and lamplights cling to the plasterwork ceiling. Gracing the walls are sets of huge Flemish mirrors that reflect the evocative, yesteryear character.

Chapel of the Souls

Gizli Yerler

One of the most famous church since it’s totally covered in azulejos! I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s located on Rua Santa Catarina in the Bolhao area, which is the major shopping street. Thus, in the afternoons it’s very crowded and hard to take photos of. Instead, come early in the morning before the shops open!

Cais da Ribeira

Meşhur

Porto's riverside quarter is an alluring labyrinth of narrow, winding streets. Facing the River Douro, though, are terraces of lofty townhouses painted in bright mustard, tangerine, and tawny hues – the Ribeira is an adventure in color and flavor. A plethora of restaurants and cafés set under the arches along the quayside makes this the most popular area in the city for relaxing and socializing.
