Luís I Bridge
萧萧然雨中There are so many people. The bridge has two floors. The lower floor is mainly for traffic, and the upper floor has a large number of hikers and trams. You can stop to admire the Douro River and the buildings on both sides. The scenery is very good. There are railways and trams on the bridge, so you must pay attention to safety and be careful about your finances.
Porto Cathedral
AAnonymous UserIt's a pretty common church, nothing special. You buy a 3 Euro ticket to go in and climb the tower, where you can overlook the whole of Porto. There's a small square in the large courtyard of the church, where many people sit and rest. You can see the Douro River, but it's nice to just stroll around the courtyard instead of going into the church.
Livraria Lello
BBryxwongLivraria Lello in Porto is a literary gem that feels like stepping into a magical world. This historic bookstore, often dubbed one of the most beautiful in the world, captivated me with its intricate woodwork, stained glass skylight, and the iconic red staircase that spirals like something out of a dream. It’s easy to see why this space inspired countless writers and artists.Practical tip: Arrive early to avoid crowds and purchase your entrance voucher online!
Ribeira
Cchinadesk1Douro River Old Street is very suitable for walking. There are ancient churches, castles, and bell towers on the hillside. Familiar blue and white porcelain murals can be seen everywhere in train stations, coffee shops, and houses. Some are decorations, and some paintings tell stories. The locals are particular about their clothes, especially the elderly who dress conservatively and neatly, and men wear ties. In the winding and narrow streets, the exterior walls of the houses with elegant colors, the inconspicuous flowers on the windowsills, and the cats nesting on the steps all show simplicity and elegance.
Crystal Palace
猪猪猪万事如意The Crystal Palace in Porto was built in 1865 for the industrial and agricultural exhibition held in Porto. Like the name of the Crystal Palace, the glass structure of the dome steel frame is full of green crystal permeability, and its unique frame structure makes it still very modern even after hundreds of years. Visitors stop for pictures.
São Bento Station

River Douro
ポポルトに留学中The view from here is amazing!
You can view it from both under and above the bridge, and both offer different views so I recommend it.
I especially recommend taking the metro to the top to enjoy the view!
Capela Das Almas
MMarraco WuThe Holy Spirit Church in Porto is a blue and white porcelain tile building. It is a tile collage of Bible stories. It is very creative and distinctive. It is located at the corner and is also a photo attraction. You can come to Porto to play if you have the opportunity. It is a very beautiful attraction!
Liberty Square
Cchinadesk1Porto's Freedom Square is in the old town, open and spacious, easy to find. The square is radiant, with statues of warriors riding horses in the middle. There are many buildings such as churches, municipal offices and banks around. The blue sky and white clouds, walking in the square seems to be back to the Middle Ages. A square records history and inherits culture.
