Porto isn’t just beautiful—it’s magnetic. This northern Portuguese city wraps you in a spell of cobbled streets tumbling toward the Douro River, gilded churches gleaming in afternoon light, and port wine cellars aging their treasures in centuries-old lodges. Whether you’re drawn to UNESCO-listed neighborhoods, world-class architecture, or simply the best sandwich you’ll ever taste, Porto delivers unforgettable experiences at every turn.
I’ve spent countless hours exploring this enchanting city, and I’m thrilled to share the 18 absolute best things to do in Porto. From iconic landmarks to insider secrets, this guide gives you everything you need to plan an extraordinary visit.

1. The Historic Old Town of Porto (Ribeira District)
Start your Porto adventure exactly where the city’s heart beats strongest—the Ribeira district. This UNESCO World Heritage site cascades down hillsides in a glorious jumble of medieval buildings painted in ochre, salmon, and terracotta. Narrow alleyways open unexpectedly onto riverside squares where locals chat over coffee and accordion music drifts from hidden doorways.
What makes Ribeira special: The authenticity. Yes, it’s touristy, but residents still hang laundry from wrought-iron balconies, and you’ll spot grandmothers leaning from windows to gossip with neighbors below. The district preserves centuries of history without feeling like a museum.
Insider tip: Visit early morning (before 9 AM) to see Ribeira waking up. You’ll have the photogenic Praça da Ribeira almost to yourself, and the soft morning light makes the colorful facades absolutely glow. Avoid the expensive riverside restaurants—they’re tourist traps. Instead, walk two blocks inland for authentic tavernas serving fresh seafood at half the price.
Time needed: 2-3 hours minimum for wandering and soaking up the atmosphere
Cost: Free to explore
Best for photography: Golden hour (sunset) when the buildings turn luminous
2. The Ribeira Waterfront
The Cais da Ribeira (Ribeira Quay) in Porto runs along the Douro River‘s northern bank, offering some of the most iconic sights and things to do in Porto. Here, you’ll find the famous rainbow-colored buildings that appear on every Porto postcard, their reflections shimmering beautifully in the river below.
The waterfront promenade buzzes with energy—street performers, artists selling watercolors, rabelo boats (traditional flat-bottomed port wine vessels) bobbing at moorings, and restaurant terraces packed with diners. Sit at one of the outdoor cafés with a glass of vinho verde, watch the sun set behind the Dom Luís I Bridge, and understand why Porto captivates everyone who visits.
Insider tip: For the absolute best riverside views without the Ribeira crowds, cross the river to Vila Nova de Gaia and look back toward Porto. The panorama from the south bank is spectacular, especially as the city lights up after dark.
Time needed: 1-2 hours
Cost: Free (unless you eat/drink)
Don’t miss: The evening passeo (stroll) when locals come out to promenade
3. The Dom Luís I Bridge (Ponte de Dom Luís I)
This magnificent double-deck iron bridge is Porto’s most recognizable landmark—and for good reason. Designed by Téophile Seyrig (a student of Gustave Eiffel), the Dom Luís I Bridge spans the Douro River with breathtaking elegance. Its upper deck carries the metro line 172 meters above the water, while the lower level accommodates cars and pedestrians.
Walking across the upper deck is an absolute must-do Porto experience. The pedestrian pathway runs alongside the metro tracks, and the views are jaw-dropping—360-degree panoramas of Porto’s terracotta rooftops, the snaking Douro River, and Vila Nova de Gaia’s wine lodges cascading down the opposite hillside.
Insider tip: Walk the upper deck at sunset for magical golden-hour photos, but arrive early—it gets crowded. For a quieter experience, cross the lower deck mid-morning. Many visitors don’t realize you can walk both levels! The lower deck offers closer views of the rabelo boats and Ribeira’s waterfront buildings.
Time needed: 30-45 minutes to walk across and admire views
Cost: Free
Photography note: The best angle for photographing the bridge is from Vila Nova de Gaia’s riverfront, slightly downstream
4. The Porto Skyline from Vila Nova de Gaia
Cross the Dom Luís Bridge to Vila Nova de Gaia—technically a separate city but spiritually Porto’s twin—for the most spectacular vistas of Porto’s skyline. The south-bank viewpoints reveal the full sweep of Porto’s architectural drama: the cathedral crowning the hill, the Clérigos Tower piercing the sky, and layers of tiled rooftops tumbling toward the Douro.
The Jardim do Morro (right at the upper bridge exit) provides the classic viewpoint, but savvy visitors continue along the riverfront promenade, where each bend reveals new perspectives. String lights illuminate the waterfront after dark, transforming the scene into pure magic.
Insider tip: Visit the rooftop terrace at Taylor’s Port Wine Lodge (free entry) for elevated views while you sip a complimentary tasting. It’s less crowded than the Jardim do Morro and offers comfortable seating. If you’re visiting Portugal’s islands too, you might also want to explore Ponta Delgada in the Azores for more stunning Portuguese landscapes.
Time needed: 1-2 hours including photos and relaxation
Cost: Free
Best time: Late afternoon into sunset
5. São Bento Train Station
Even if you’re not catching a train, São Bento Station demands a visit. This functional railway station doubles as one of Porto’s most stunning artistic treasures. Step inside the entrance hall and prepare to be amazed—over 20,000 hand-painted azulejo tiles cover the walls in a breathtaking display of Portuguese tilework.
Created by artist Jorge Colaço in 1930, the intricate blue-and-white panels depict pivotal moments in Portuguese history: medieval battles, royal processions, and the evolution of transportation. The detail is extraordinary—you could spend an hour examining the tiny figures and scenes.
Insider tip: Visit between 10-11 AM or 2-3 PM when train schedules are lighter and you’ll have more unobstructed views of the tiles. The station gets crowded during rush hours. Don’t just photograph the main hall—wander to the side corridors where smaller panels showcase rural Portuguese life.
Time needed: 20-30 minutes
Cost: Free entry
Location: Praça de Almeida Garrett (city center)
For more information about Porto’s attractions, check the official Visit Porto tourism portal.
6. Livraria Lello e Irmão Bookstore
Livraria Lello consistently ranks among the world’s most beautiful bookstores—and one step inside proves why. This neo-Gothic marvel opened in 1906 and enchants visitors with its crimson spiral staircase, carved wooden ceilings, stained-glass skylight, and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves packed with Portuguese and international titles.
The bookshop gained international fame as a supposed inspiration for J.K. Rowling’s Hogwarts (Rowling lived in Porto in the early 1990s). Whether or not she drew direct inspiration, the magical atmosphere is undeniable—light filters through the stained glass, casting rainbow patterns across the polished wood floors.
Important note: Due to overwhelming popularity, Livraria Lello now charges €8-50 admission (redeemable against book purchases). Book tickets online in advance to guarantee entry during your preferred time slot.
Insider tip: Visit during the first hour of opening (9:30-10:30 AM) for the most peaceful experience. By midday, the crowds make it difficult to appreciate the space or take photos. Budget extra time to browse the upstairs gallery and don’t skip the beautiful Art Nouveau facade outside.
Time needed: 45 minutes to 1 hour
Cost: €8-50 entry (redeemable with book purchase)
Book online: Essential during high season
7. The View from Torre dos Clérigos
Climb 225 steps up the Torre dos Clérigos for Porto’s most commanding panoramic view. This 76-meter baroque tower, completed in 1763, dominated Porto’s skyline for centuries as the city’s tallest structure. Today it remains an iconic landmark and the reward for conquering those stairs is spectacular—360-degree views stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Douro River valley.
From the top, Porto unfolds like a three-dimensional map: you can trace the river’s curves, pick out landmarks you’ve visited, and understand the city’s topography. The terracotta sea of rooftops, punctuated by church domes and modern towers, creates a mesmerizing pattern. On clear days, you’ll spot the Atlantic shimmering in the distance.
Insider tip: The ticket (€10) includes entry to the Clérigos Church and museum—both worth exploring before or after your tower climb. The baroque church interior is stunning, with elaborately carved woodwork and painted ceilings. Visit the tower late afternoon (4-5 PM) when tour groups have thinned and the light becomes golden.
Time needed: 1 hour (including church and museum)
Cost: €10 (tower + church + museum)
Accessibility note: No elevator—steep spiral stairs only
8. A Port Wine Cellar Tour in Vila Nova de Gaia
No visit to Porto is complete without experiencing port wine in its birthplace. Across the Douro River in Vila Nova de Gaia, the hillside harbors historic wine lodges (caves) where port wine ages in massive oak barrels. These are more than working warehouses—they’re museums with tasting rooms, where you can learn about port’s 300-year history while sampling the fortified wine that made Porto famous.
The tour experience varies by lodge, but most follow a similar format: guided walk through atmospheric barrel rooms, explanation of port production methods (from Douro Valley grapes to fortification with brandy), and a tasting of 2-3 port styles—typically ruby, tawny, and vintage or late-bottled vintage (LBV).
Top recommended lodges:
- Taylor’s: Beautiful historic building, excellent rooftop views, informative tours (€14-17)
- Graham’s: Comprehensive educational experience, impressive barrel rooms (€15-18)
- Cockburn’s: More intimate setting, focus on port-and-food pairings (€14-16)
Insider tip: Book the first tour of the day (10 AM) to avoid crowds and enjoy cooler temperatures in the cellars. Most lodges offer multiple tour tiers—the basic tour with 2-3 tastings is plenty for most visitors. Save money by reserving online in advance. If you’re driving, designate a driver—the alcohol content in port (19-22%) adds up quickly!
Time needed: 1.5-2 hours per lodge
Cost: €14-17 average for tour + 3 tastings
Book ahead: Highly recommended in summer
9. Trying a Francesinha, Porto’s Local Specialty Sandwich
Porto’s signature dish is unapologetically indulgent: the francesinha. This towering sandwich layers cured meats (ham, linguiça sausage, steak), covers them with melted cheese, drowns everything in a secret spicy tomato-beer sauce, and serves it with a mountain of fries for good measure. It’s decadent, messy, absolutely delicious—and you’ll need a nap afterward.
Every Porto resident has fierce loyalty to their favorite francesinha spot, and debates over the “best” can last hours. The sauce is the secret weapon—each restaurant guards their recipe jealously, balancing tomato, beer, piri-piri, and mysterious spices.
Best francesinha restaurants:
- Café Santiago: The legendary spot with perpetual queues—absolutely worth the 30-minute wait (€11-13)
- Brasão Cervejaria: Modern vibe with excellent house-brewed beer pairings (€12-14)
- Lado B: Slightly upscale with vegetarian options available (€13-15)
- O Golfinho: Authentic neighborhood taverna, locals-only atmosphere (€10-12)
Insider tip: Don’t attempt a francesinha at a touristy Ribeira restaurant—you’ll pay €15-18 for an inferior version. Head to local neighborhoods like Cedofeita or Bonfim for authentic experiences at fair prices. Order a “mini” francesinha if you have a smaller appetite, or share one between two people—they’re enormous. Pair with a Super Bock beer or a crisp white vinho verde to cut through the richness.
Average cost: €10-14
When to go: Lunch (1-2 PM) or dinner (8-9 PM)
Dietary note: Not vegetarian-friendly (though some restaurants offer veggie versions)
10. Sé Catedral (Porto Cathedral) and Its Azulejo Cloister
Porto’s fortress-like cathedral dominates the city’s highest hill, a commanding presence that’s watched over Porto since the 12th century. The Sé Catedral (Se Cathedral) blends Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles—evidence of centuries of renovations and additions. While the austere stone exterior might seem severe, step inside to discover surprising treasures.
The highlight is the Gothic cloister, entirely covered in magnificent 18th-century azulejo panels. These hand-painted blue-and-white tiles depict biblical scenes and the life of the Virgin Mary with extraordinary artistry. Sunlight filtering through the arched galleries illuminates the tiles, creating a serene, contemplative atmosphere.
Insider tip: Pay the €3-5 entrance fee to access the cloister, museum, and terrace—the cathedral’s nave is free but the real treasures require a ticket. The terrace offers lovely views over Porto’s old town and the Douro River. Visit in the morning (9-11 AM) for the best light on the azulejos and fewer crowds.
Time needed: 45 minutes to 1 hour
Cost: €3-5 for cloister and museum; nave is free
Nearby: Perfect to combine with Palácio da Bolsa and São Francisco Church (all within 10 minutes’ walk)
11. Palácio da Bolsa (Stock Exchange Palace) Guided Tour
The Palácio da Bolsa’s neoclassical exterior offers no hint of the opulent fantasy waiting inside. Built in the 19th century as Porto’s stock exchange, this palace showcases Portugal’s wealth during its golden age of port wine trade. The mandatory guided tour (no independent visits allowed) leads you through increasingly extravagant rooms culminating in the absolutely jaw-dropping Arabian Hall.
The Arabian Hall in Porto is the city’s showpiece interior—a Moorish-revival fantasy inspired by Granada’s Alhambra, with every surface covered in intricate gilded arabesque patterns. The effect is mesmerizing: 18 kilograms of gold leaf create a shimmering, dreamlike space that feels transported from a Moroccan palace. Today, it hosts state receptions and elegant events, making it one of Porto’s must-see attractions.
Insider tip: Tours depart every 30 minutes in multiple languages (English, Portuguese, Spanish, French). Arrive 15 minutes early to secure your spot, especially in summer. Photography is allowed but no flash—the gold leaf work makes for stunning photos. The tour includes other beautiful rooms (the portrait gallery, the courtroom), but the Arabian Hall is the undeniable star.
Time needed: 45 minutes (guided tour only)
Cost: €12-15
Tours: Every 30 minutes; book online to guarantee entry
Best for: Architecture and history enthusiasts
12. Igreja de São Francisco (Church of Saint Francis) with Gilded Interiors
From the outside, the Igreja de São Francisco looks like a typical Gothic church. Step through the doors and prepare for sensory overload—this is one of Europe’s most lavishly gilded interiors, with an estimated 300-400 kilograms of gold covering virtually every surface. Carved wooden columns, walls, ceilings, altars—everything glitters with baroque excess.
The effect is almost overwhelming. Baroque artisans covered every inch of the church’s interior in intricate carvings (vines, angels, birds, flowers, biblical scenes) and then gilded the whole thing. The showpiece is the Tree of Jesse—an incredible gilded sculpture depicting Christ’s family tree that covers an entire wall from floor to ceiling.
Insider tip: The church operates as a museum (€8-10 entry), not an active place of worship, so you can explore freely and photograph without restrictions. The attached museum includes catacombs and a small art collection—interesting but not essential if you’re short on time. Visit mid-morning (10-11 AM) for the best light streaming through the windows and illuminating the gold.
Time needed: 45 minutes to 1 hour
Cost: €8-10
Photography: Allowed
Combine with: Palácio da Bolsa (next door) and Porto Cathedral
13. Capela das Almas de Santa Catarina, Famous for Blue Azulejos
This small church on Rua de Santa Catarina in Porto stops passersby in their tracks—its exterior walls are entirely covered in approximately 15,947 stunning blue-and-white azulejo tiles. Created by artist Eduardo Leite in 1929, the intricate tile panels depict scenes from the lives of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Catherine, making it one of Porto’s unique must-see sights.
The azulejo work is extraordinarily detailed—biblical scenes rendered with such artistry that the flat tiles seem three-dimensional. Against Porto’s modern shopping street backdrop, the traditional tilework creates a striking visual contrast. It’s a perfect example of how Porto seamlessly blends centuries-old traditions with contemporary city life.
Insider tip: The interior is small and undecorated—the exterior is the attraction. Visit in the morning (9-11 AM) for the best light on the tiles and fewer crowds obstructing your photos. The church sits on busy Rua de Santa Catarina, Porto’s main shopping street, so it’s easy to incorporate into a shopping or walking tour of downtown.
Time needed: 10-15 minutes
Cost: Free
Best time: Morning light
Nearby: Shopping on Rua de Santa Catarina, Bolhão Market (5 minutes’ walk)
14. Rua das Flores, One of Porto’s Most Picturesque Streets
Rua das Flores (“Street of Flowers”) is Porto’s most charming pedestrian street, a delightfully photogenic thoroughfare lined with colorful buildings, independent boutiques, cafés, and galleries. Once home to Porto’s goldsmiths and jewelers, the street has transformed into a hub for local designers, concept stores, and artisanal shops.
What makes Rua das Flores special is its perfect blend of history and contemporary life. Beautiful 18th-century facades painted in pastels frame modern storefronts. You’ll find everything from traditional azulejo shops to hipster coffee roasters, vintage clothing boutiques to natural wine bars. It’s genuinely charming without feeling artificial or overly touristy.
Insider tip: Visit in the late afternoon (5-7 PM) when the street comes alive with locals ending their workday. Stop at A Pérola do Bolhão (a gorgeous Art Nouveau grocery store at one end of the street) for Portuguese specialty products—tinned fish, port wine, regional cheeses. The tiles and vintage fixtures alone make it worth visiting.
Time needed: 30-45 minutes
Best for: Shopping, photography, café-hopping
Don’t miss: The beautiful fountain at the eastern end
15. Igreja de Santo Ildefonso, Church with Iconic Twin Bell Towers
Perched atop a steep staircase, the Igreja de Santo Ildefonso commands attention with its striking facade covered in more than 11,000 azulejo tiles. These tiles, installed in 1932, portray scenes from the life of Saint Ildefonso and the history of the Eucharist in gorgeous blue-and-white compositions.
The church’s twin bell towers create a distinctive silhouette against Porto’s skyline. The location—at the top of a dramatic outdoor staircase—adds to the visual drama. Locals often use the stairs as a shortcut between neighborhoods, so you’ll see everyday Porto life unfold around this historic monument.
Insider tip: The real reward is at the top of the stairs—panoramic views across Porto’s downtown rooftops. Few tourists make the climb, so you’ll often have the viewpoint to yourself. The interior is beautiful but less impressive than the exterior; if you’re short on time, admire the azulejo facade and enjoy the views from the plaza.
Time needed: 20-30 minutes
Cost: Free exterior; small donation suggested for interior
Nearby: Bolhão Market, Trindade metro station
Photography: The staircase creates dramatic photo angles
16. Jardins do Palácio de Cristal, Beautiful Gardens with Douro Views
When Porto’s summer heat becomes intense, escape to the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal, a magnificent park offering shaded pathways, formal gardens, peacocks roaming freely, and spectacular views over the Douro River. These 19th-century gardens occupy the site of the former Crystal Palace (demolished in 1956) and now provide one of Porto’s most beautiful green spaces and attractions.
The gardens spread across multiple levels with distinct themed areas: rose gardens, aromatic herb gardens, tree-lined avenues, and romantic viewpoints overlooking the river. Couples stroll hand-in-hand, families picnic on the lawns, and locals jog the perimeter paths. The atmosphere is peaceful, romantic, and quintessentially Porto.
Insider tip: Walk to the western edge of the park for the best panoramic viewpoint—you’ll see the Douro River, the Atlantic Ocean, and Vila Nova de Gaia spread before you. Visit in late afternoon (4-6 PM) when the sun creates golden light perfect for photography. The gardens host occasional concerts and cultural events—check the schedule. Entry is completely free.
Time needed: 1-2 hours
Cost: Free
Best for: Relaxation, photography, romantic walks
Nearby: Foz do Douro neighborhood (20 minutes’ walk toward the ocean)
17. Casa da Música, Modern Concert Hall with Unique Architecture
Rem Koolhaas designed this striking contemporary concert hall as a radical architectural statement—and Porto embraced it. The Casa da Música’s angular white polyhedron shape contrasts dramatically with Porto’s historic architecture, yet somehow it works. Since opening in 2005, it’s become one of Porto’s most recognizable modern landmarks.
The building isn’t just visually impressive—the acoustics are world-class. The main auditorium features an innovative “shoebox” design wrapped in corrugated glass walls, creating unique visual and acoustic properties. Two of the walls are transparent, allowing concertgoers to glimpse Porto’s cityscape during performances.
Insider tip: You don’t need concert tickets to experience Casa da Música. Join a 45-minute guided tour (€10) to explore the auditoriums, learn about the architectural innovations, and enjoy views from the rooftop terrace. Tours run daily in Portuguese and English—book online. The building’s café offers excellent coffee and pastries with views of the surrounding Rotunda da Boavista plaza.
Time needed: 1 hour (tour) or 2-3 hours (concert)
Cost: €10 for guided tour; concert tickets vary
Tours: Daily; book ahead online
Best for: Architecture lovers, music enthusiasts
18. Mercado do Bolhão, Historic Market with Portuguese and International Food Stalls
After extensive renovations, the iconic Mercado do Bolhão reopened in 2022 as a gleaming temple to Portuguese food culture. This two-story market blends Porto’s traditional mercado atmosphere (flower stalls, fresh produce, butchers, fishmongers) with modern touches (international food stalls, craft beer bars, specialty shops).
The architecture alone is worth visiting—a beautiful iron-and-glass structure built in 1914, now restored to its former glory. Upstairs, traditional vendors sell seasonal fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish. Downstairs, you’ll find food stalls serving everything from traditional petiscos (Portuguese tapas) to sushi, along with wine bars and gourmet shops.
Insider tip: Come hungry! The downstairs food hall at Mercado do Bolhão in Porto offers excellent value—sample Portuguese cheeses, grab fresh seafood, or indulge in a proper bacalhau (salted cod) meal. Visit on Saturday morning (9–11 AM) when the market buzzes with local shoppers and the atmosphere is most authentic. Don’t miss the traditional flower vendors on the upper level—truly a Porto institution.
Time needed: 1-1.5 hours
Cost: Free entry; food and purchases vary
Best for: Food lovers, authentic local atmosphere
Open: Monday-Saturday; check hours before visiting

Whether you spend two days hitting the highlights or a week exploring every hidden corner, Porto will capture your heart. The city has a way of slowing you down, encouraging you to linger over port wine, wander aimlessly through medieval streets, and simply soak up the atmosphere. That’s the magic of Porto—it’s not just a destination you visit; it’s a place you feel.
