The Most Photogenic Places in Porto
Porto is the second largest city in Portugal. In addition, its age is approaching a millennium. Therefore, there are more than enough attractions in Porto. But we decided to highlight the most interesting of them.
Aliados Square
The main square of Porto has an unusual shape of a strongly elongated oval and a sloping relief. Here you can see several fountains and monuments. It is surrounded by luxurious houses of the last century with statues and stucco. The building of the City Hall is located at the head of the square.
Porto Se
Perhaps the most visited attraction in Porto. Almost a thousand-year history of the cathedral gave its appearance an unimaginable combination of architectural styles. Truly unusual architecture and magnificent night illumination.
Ribeira
The ancient district, located along the Douro River, has preserved the historical appearance and atmosphere of the Middle Ages. This is where travelers want to understand the mysterious Portuguese soul. Ribeira differs from similar historical areas of other cities in that the original townspeople still live here, and their way of life has not changed much over the hundreds of years.
Clerigos Tower
One of the tallest buildings in Portugal attracts attention primarily with its unusual appearance of bell towers. The Baroque work of art is noticeable from anywhere in the city. The tower offers a view of Porto as a whole and its surroundings. In addition to climbing to the observation deck of the bell tower, you can enjoy a very interesting church interior and a good museum. You can go there for 6 euros.
Church of Santa Clara
An interesting church with more than 600 years of history, hidden in an alley in the center of Porto, amazes with the richness of its interior. Intricate elements made in the Baroque and Rococo styles, combined with gilding, give grandeur and significance. The entrance fee is 4 euros.
