Walking in PORTO / Portugal 🇵🇹

Winter Tour (2019)

Porto / Portugal is a coastal city in the North of the country. Porto is known for port wine and has some iconic bridges over the Douro river.

We start our walking tour at the Liberty Square (Praça da Liberdade) with the Town Hall (Câmara Municipal do Porto ). On this square are a few monuments and the Christmas decorations for this time of the year (December 2019).

We walk uphill to the Igreja da Santíssima Trindade and check out the Trindade shopping center nearby. Via the Rua da Conceição we get to the garden “Jardim da Cordoaria” and find the viewpoint “Miradouro da Vitoria”.

After we’ve seen the Luís I Bridge (Ponte Luís I) we head uphill again to see the Porto Cathedral (Sé do Porto). We have a good look around before we head downhill once more to see the Douro River.

A quick stroll around sunset at the river and we soon head back to the city center via the Rua das Flores.

As it is getting dark, we end our tour with the Christmas lights in full display at the Liberty Square and the Fonte dos Aliados.
