Torreão do Jardim do Palácio

Garden

👍👍 This garden was probably the highlight for me in Porto. The atmosphere is really great here and you will see a lot of birds roaming around the garden. Many peacocks and roasters just freely walking around! We were also pretty lucky to see not one but two peacocks with their feathers spread out. It...

Santos & Irmãos Lda

Paintings store

😠 Update: they’ve now gotten people they know to leave 5 star reviews to refute mine😂. So embarrassing. Terrible store. I went here to get a quote on two custom frames for two paintings. The guy refused to provide a quote unless I came with the paintings, even though I knew exactly which frames I wa...

Torra de Rua

Historical landmark

👍👍 Privileged place to contemplate the most beautiful city in Portugal, immodesty is sometimes cruel, but to say what our heart feels is not to be immodest, I would say, to be true and as such what more to say about this Burgo. Old, Mui Noble and Always Loyal and Invicta, Porto City !!

Praça Dom João I

Historical landmark

😐 Named in honor of King D. João I, who got married in the city of Porto, this square is the shadow of what it was in other times. With the disappearance of its fountain and only the businesses that were located in the old arcade, this square lost all its luster... turning into a simple decorative ele...

Gaia Castle Place

Historical landmark

👍👍 The area at the top of the elevation of the old Gaia Castle is closed, and it is no longer possible to climb to the top of it. However, along the elevation we can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the city of Porto and Gaia.

Chafariz da Rua das Taipas

Fontanário da Praça das Flores

Historical landmark

👍👍 Fonte da Firmesa, or Fontanário da Praça das Flores, this fountain did not always occupy the same place, in the history of Porto the name that is still engraved in its center is proof of this. It owes its origin to the Trindade fountain, which no longer exists and whose stones were used in the 19th...
