We reached this stunning viewpoint during part of our free Sandeman Walking Tour of Porto and what a wonderful spot to take in the sweeping views over the rooftops and down towards the river Douro.
We were told by our guide that this formed part of the old Jewish quarter. While in a dilapidated and uncared-for setting, this only added to the charm. Fortunately it wasn't crowded during our visit and when we returned later on during our stay it was even less busy.

Beautiful area and you really are in the heart of Porto. Bolhão is a 10 minute walk away and the Porto a mere 12 minutes. With endless shops and windy roads to explore it truly is amazing.
Restaurant recommendations: Flow and A Despensa. Both impeccable food!
BUT
We stayed in an apartment with hotel wise that is overlooking the Clérigos and above the Starbucks on the top floor might I add and each night there would be people on the street. Shouting, screaming, singing, arguing, fighting, motorbikes revving, cars honking repetitively as if to annoy residents. This starts at 12am though to 7am and it is continuous. Theres not an hour that it eases. Like I said we are on the top floor as well but it is horrifically loud. Bin men and street cleaners then start at 7/7:15am so again you cannot sleep in after a long day of exploring and sleepless nights.
Definitely will not be staying in the area again and completely advise others not to do the same but during the day it is wonderful.
A different side of this area comes out at night.

The Miradouro da Vitória, located at the beginning of Porto's old Jewish quarter, offers a free panoramic view of the Ribeira, allowing spectators to admire the Dom Luis bridge, the Se and the Bishop's Palace. Despite being on private property, there is a sign welcoming tourists, adding to its unique charm. Other panoramic views, such as from the Clerigos Tower or the terrace of the Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar, are available, but usually for a fee.

We rented an apartment very close to here, so we passed this lovely viewpoint many times. It was often busy with lots of folks thoroughly enjoying the spectacular views of the whole region. One of the best places to get a perspective on Porto.

Contrary to the capital, Porto doesn't have so much Miradouros, but this one is just perfect.
It is set some 10 min walking downhill from the famous Clerigos tower and Church. Therefore, no need to climb the tower, pay for it and wait in lines.
Miradouro da Vitoria is a wide plateau and there're no crowds and is of course free.

We stayed very near here and walked past this area many times. We also lingered here and took photos of the splendid views of the old town and the river. This is one of the best view points in town.

Breathtaking view of Porto, its rooftops, the Douro, the Luis Bridge, and the shore in front of Vila Nova de Gaia. Free of course. To be combined with the nearby Parque das Virtudes.

It is a bit of a walk to get here through the city's historic quarter, but luckily for me I was staying nearby anyway. Like the other miradors around the city (and there are many) the views are amazing - get here early for the sunrise or late for the sunset and you won't be disappointed.

A Stunning ‘miradora’ is this! The view/scenery takes you’re breath away as you are higher than most of the roof tops looking over the city, the river, the main iron bridge and port distilleries. There are no facilities - it is a very simple area to stand where the views say it all. A spot to head for, for those most of scenic of photos!

Didn't know this existed and just stumbled on it whilst meandering along the old streets taking a wide walk out to the right of Porto on the way down towards the river. Its just a piece of land belonging to a very old dilapidated house that would make a fantastic Hotel. The views of Porto in my opinion are the best available and its all free, you kist have to barge selfie/instagrammers out of the way in order to drink in the sight. Should be higher up the list
