Nice little church
I passed by this nice little church while strolling in the city. I ignored it at first as it looks just any other church around but somehow it was inviting. The interior of the church is really nice and because it was empty the place is more tranquil. Perfect for those who want to pray or those who just want some peace and quiet. I was glad I checked it!

Why not
Solo
This is a small and easy to visit place. I wouldn’t be classifying to the top of the list of must do in Porto, but… if you are passing by why not.

A Small Church
Friends
Igreja Paroquial de San Nicolau is located just opposite to the Sao Francisco church. The church is of a much smaller size but the white and blue tiled external facade still attracted passers-by. It is nice to enter the internal area and view the alters and sculptures thereat.

Beautiful small church
Couples
This is a small church with several beautiful altars and some interesting sculpture. Take time to view the side chapels where some of the most interesting sculptures reside.

The exterior is currently undergoing restoration, so access can be limited.

Another treat for those who love azulejos
Couples
I love blue and white glazed tiles, azulejos, so the facade of Igreja de S. Nicolau was another treat for me. Unfortunately, the church was closed at the time of our visit but I was happy to enjoy the lovely facade of this small church.

A church located close to the Palace of Bolsa. We went in for a quick peek on the way towards the river.

Beautiful and quiet church!
This is a quiet, beautiful church without the wait times of other tourist attractions in Porto. The Church of St. Nicholas was rebuilt in 1762 after a tremendous fire destroyed the original, and it’s worthy of photographs when you’re visiting town.

Beautiful church
Couples
This church is located next to the Jardim do Infante Dom Henrique.

The church was built in 1762 and has a mixed neoclassical and baroque style.

The stunning altarpiece has a rococo style.
