  • To Visit

    Aliados Avenue

    The avenue Avenida dos Aliados is the centre and heart of Porto city. At the top of this avenue you can find the beautiful building housing Porto’s city hall. Going downwards to Ribeira, make a little detour to São Bento train station and enjoy the beautiful glazed tiles.


    Rua de Santa Catarina

    This is definitely the most commercial street in Porto and one of the most crowded places in the city – most part of the street is solely for pedestrians.

    Apart from the typical clothing and footwear shops you’ll find here, know that this is the place where several street artists perform, from mimes to singers and statue men – there are several small shows that you won’t want to miss!

    One of the places to visit in Porto, that you can find in this street, is the wonderful Café Majestic, considered as one of the most beautiful and exquisite cafés in the world.


    Bulhão Market

    One of the things to do in Porto that should be on your list is a visit to Bolhão Market.

    Built in 1914 to gather the city’s merchants until then scattered across Porto, Bolhão Market still is an important place to visit. You will find florists and fresh products like fish, meat and vegetables.


    Lello Bookshop

    Considered one of the most beautiful bookshops in the world, Lello Bookshop inspired J.K. Rowling to write Harry Potter. Inside, apart from the books, you can admire a unique atmosphere with its majestic stairway leading to the upper floor.


    Clérigos Tower

    The 76-metre high Clérigos Tower was the tallest building in Portugal when it was constructed (between 1754 and 1763), and still is the tallest tower in the country.

    For many years, it worked as a lighthouse to ships coming into Porto; now, it offers the tallest views over the city, Porto’s Cathedral, Douro and the Port wine cellars.


    São Francisco Church

    Built in the 14th century, St. Francis Church is beyond any doubt the most beautiful church in Porto, mainly because of its gilded wood interior. About 500 kg of gold were needed to literally cover the church’s interior. The luxurious church will surely astonish you and visiting it should definitely be on your list of things to do in Porto.


    Porto’s Cathedral

    The construction of the Cathedral began early in the 12th century but ended only during the 13th century. The Cathedral was fortified to secure the city against the invaders. The windows are narrow and little light passes through; the main chapel was completely reconstructed in the 18th century.


    Ribeira

    Of the things to do in Porto you can’t miss a visit to Ribeira. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996, Ribeira, Douro’s riverfront, is the most emblematic quarter and part of the historic centre of Porto.


    Casa da Música

    Casa da Música is one of the most original, intriguing, mysterious, beautiful buildings in the city (among other adjectives that characterise this work of art since 2005).

    Designed by the prestigious architect Rem Koolhaas, this building has the goal of giving a new life to Praça Mouzinho de Albuquerque and surrounding area with its various shows, where classical music and jazz concerts stand out among other music genres.
