What travelers are saying
- Dam M5 contributionsPortugal's Luis Bridge is a must-see destination. It is a wonder of engineering and beauty because of its exquisite architecture and distinctive double-deck design.
That said, if you need some kush in Porto, you should visit weedtravelersguidecom, the best forum to find pot in Porto.Written March 14, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

No matter how you view this majestic river, you can’t deny that there’s something special about this river. With a total length of almost 900 km, most of which is in its originating neighboring country, Spain, the best part of the river is the section in Porto’s historic centre, whereby its beauty is amplified by the colorful building terraces on both sides of the river banks as well as the elegant bridges connecting both sides of the river. I am indeed mesmerized by the beauty of the river, especially during sunset when viewed from the upper deck of the Dom Luis I Bridge.Written January 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DotsGirl2Vancouver, Canada604 contributionsThis was a lovely walk watching the boats on the river and seeing Gaia on the other side. There are lots of restaurants down here.Written February 20, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- IneNorway52 contributionsWhat an absolute incredible train station! It was just like I expected it and a bit better. I recommend everyone taking a trip here.Written March 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NeoAxionVancouver, WA774 contributionsWe bought tickets for the tower and got a superb panoramic view from the top. Great way to see Porto from another perspective.Written March 7, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- boruthedogCo Kildare193 contributionsOn the Western end of the old town, is this a large building not overly impressive from the outside, but well worth a visit to see the interior.
The building was set up as a commercial centre for the city. The tours are led by local guides who are extremely informative and friendly.. You are taken around various rooms, including the business courthouse and other officers but the absolute highlight and worth the entry price alone is the extraordinary reception room (a large area dedicated for banquets, recitals and other events) which has walls and ceilings decorated in intricate gold designs. It is a staggering site to see as soon as you enter.
If you do visit this palace, I would recommend you also go to Sao Francisco church just around the corner.Written January 10, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is an entrance fee to visit inside the cathedral, some smaller rooms and grounds. Quite a feast for the eyes and brain.Written January 30, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Susan P77 contributionsWe lived in Porto for over 5 years and my husband had lived there for many years earlier, and yet although we knew the church was here, we did not know about the museum.
There was no rush, you could take your time, and there was good information in Portuguese and English by the various works of art, with ‘ancient and modern’ history.
Much of the art work is old but there is one room dedicated to a modern sculptor/ artist, which was amazing. There were a couple of nativity scenes which I would have loved to take home, especially if there had been smaller replicas, but another good thing about this church and exhibition there is no souvenirs, apart from postcards, which means they are not after your money, but rather about the building and its history.
You can climb up,on to the top and walk between the 2 bell towers. I did not do this, but my husband said it was well worth the effort for the views, especially on a clear day. Walking up the winding staircase is well lit with lights on sensors, which are also in the staircase coming down, but they light up after you have passed which means they are behind you.
It is well worth the entry cost of 3€, or in our case 1,50€ as seniors.Written March 7, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The stalls are laid out in a well-organized manner within a neoclassic building, with dining tables set up at one end of the building for those wanting a quick meal here. As with any urban markets, you can expect the market to be busy and fairly crowded, so getting a table to enjoy your food can be a challenge. Nevertheless, it’s still a therapeutic experience browsing the stalls and just taking in the variety of food and fresh produce from the Douro region. One of the most popular stalls in the market is a pasta stall, Favorita do Bolhao, whose pasta is cooked on a cheese surface. Wondering what the fuss is all about, we can’t resist trying the pasta, but was greatly disappointed as its taste and portion certainly could not justify the price and long waiting time endured!Written January 25, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- IneNorway52 contributionsIt’s very beautiful and the blue color is so sharp. We didn’t go inside because people were praying so we didn’t want to disturb them.

- Bucko007Sudbury, Canada1,147 contributionsWe did the guided tour and the museum. Rodrigo, our guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. The tour took us to the pitch, visitors room and president's box. Plenty of photo opportunities. The museum is also extremely well done.Written February 28, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Beri R1 contributionThis food hall is better than any other we visited. Better than Time Out Lisbon and way better than Time Out Porto. The options were unique and plentiful. It’s not in the tourist areas but well worth the trip.Written March 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- chrominanceBristol, UK50 contributionsOur Airbnb was just across the road from the gardens but we somehow didn't visit it until the final evening. We'd heard the peacocks calling in the days before but hadn't realised how many of them were walking about (and it was very entertaining watching other tourists gingerly approach them for photos).Written December 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Herbert C1,945 contributionsAs Porto's primary shopping street, you would expect Rua de Santa Catarina to be lined with a variety of international chain stores, local boutique shops, department store and restaurants. And shopaholics will definitely not be disappointed. More than just shopping, you will also be entertained by buskers with their eccentric performances. This pedestrianised street is also the location for the charming azulejo-clad Capela das Almas church and the renowned Cafe Majestic, a Parisian-type cafe from the Art Nouveau period which is often touted as the world's most beautiful cafe. As compared to other pedestrianised shopping streets in Europe, Santa Catarina is relatively narrower and therefore may feel congested when the crowd sets in. Walk this street from the Capela das Almas, heading in the southernly downhill direction towards the riverfront, ending in Praca da Batalha anchored by the imposing Church of Santo Ildefonso, also clad in blue-and-white tiles.Written February 6, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Daniela & WalterAlmere, The Netherlands32 contributionsA truly beautiful church. Friendly staff too! A small entrance fee applies but that is well worth a visit.
