Much more than a World Heritage Site
Duplo Ribeira by Petit Palace
If you are told that Porto is an old and boring city, known for being a World Heritage Site, hurry to live a few days full of emotions among colorful facades, slopes, exquisite bites, and, of course, its glorious wine.
Known for connecting Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia over the Douro River, crossing the Luis I Bridge is to change perspective: architecture, river, and Porto merge into one of the most recognizable views of the city.
Palácio da Bolsa is a true architectural gem of the nineteenth century, former center of commercial life in Porto. Its interior, especially the Arab Room, reveals a bourgeois, elegant city, and, of course, open to the world.
The Igreja dos Clérigos is a great baroque icon of Porto. Its famous tower dominates the city, and climbing to the top has a reward: a panoramic view that will allow you to connect, like a map, rooftops, river, and horizon.
Without a doubt, Cais da Ribeira is the most vibrant postcard of Porto from your trip: colorful facades, terraces, boats, and the majestic Douro in front of you. A place to sit and let yourself be carried away by the slow local rhythm.
