Pedestrian zone along the river is not really long, but it has a really unique charm. It is filled with cafes and restaurant, but the real charm comes from street musicians and local merchandise sellers, which sell everything ( from table covers to gloves) with Portugal motives.

Little bit touristy. Instead of taking the funicular down, walk down the steps next to it to experience an interesting, traditional area. More

This vibrant part of Porto has a unique atmosphere, with street artists, restaurants, boats, and of course Porto's historic downtown. A must see. More

This is a must see and a real Top 10. If you are going to visit Porto, you must go to Zona Ribeirinha. With its typical little houses, with differents colours, in front of the river, full with restaurants and cafes, you'll be amazed at the beauty of Zona Ribeirinha. More
