Porto is a city full of captivating highlights that blend history, culture, and stunning views. The historic center, especially the Baixa and Ribeira districts, offers charming streets, vibrant cafes, and iconic landmarks like the Dom Luís I Bridge and the riverside promenade. Don't miss the Livraria Lello, one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world, and the Clérigos Tower, where you can climb for panoramic city views. The São Bento Train Station is famous for its exquisite azulejo tile panels that tell stories of Portugal's past. For a unique experience, take a traditional Rabelo boat cruise on the Douro River, especially the Six Bridges Cruise, to admire the city from the water. Additionally, the Palácio da Bolsa and Igreja de São Francisco showcase Porto's rich architectural heritage. These highlights provide a perfect introduction to Porto's charm and cultural depth.
