Built from the 12th century onwards, in the highest part of the city, the Sé Cathedral is the most important religious building in Porto. Throughout history, the cathedral has undergone many reconstructions, which is why it has different styles.

Historic Centre of Porto

Highlight • Historical Site

The historic center of Porto, also known as Ribeira, is an urban jewel with more than ten centuries of history. This area, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996, is located in the hills overlooking the mouth of the Douro River.
If you ever visit Porto, be sure to explore this charming historic center and immerse yourself in its rich history and culture. Have a good trip! 🌟🇵🇹

Praça da Sé ⛪ Porto Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Standing imposingly atop a hill, Porto Cathedral rises amidst narrow streets, guarding the old city. It is the oldest church in Porto and one of its most iconic monuments. Construction began in the 12th century and carries nearly a thousand years of history within its stonework.

From here, the view is breathtaking: red-tiled roofs, towers punctuating the sky, and the Douro River shaping the horizon. In front of the cathedral, an old pillory recalls dark times. During the dictatorship, it served as a symbol of intimidation.

Dom Luís I Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Douro River is crossed by several bridges as it passes through Porto. The most famous of them is the Don Luis I Bridge (Ponte Dom Luís I in Portuguese), which links the city with Vila Nova de Gaia. Inaugurated at the end of the 19th century, this iron bridge is one of the most emblematic images of Porto.

Arriving in Porto this morning, we started with a city walk in 12 degrees Celsius and intermittent rain showers... meanwhile, in Hamburg, the sun was shining at 21 degrees Celsius.

Porto is located directly on the Douro River and boasts a charming old town and the colorful houses along the banks of the Ribeira – a lovely place to stroll. …

We explored Porto's city center today in brilliant sunshine. The streets were quite busy in places. There were a few major construction sites, such as the one at the train station. The half rabbit at Bordalo II is highly recommended.

Shockingly, we took it easy today too. 😂
After a short morning swim in the Atlantic (🥶) we had a leisurely breakfast and then took the public transport to Porto. The guide suggested following the origins of Porto. So we started with the Cathedral of Sé, the oldest part of this beautiful city. For just three euros entrance fee there …

We took bus number 500 from Matosinhos to Porto. It was a 25-minute ride, first along the Atlantic, then along the Douro. The alleyways are impressive. So is the historic district. It's incredible, though, how many buildings have fallen into disrepair. To finish off, we enjoyed some delicious regional specialties, and the day was over. 😄

Today we continued by bus to Porto. During the drive, I realized that there is an hour difference between Santiago and Porto, even though it's just a drive south. The jetlag will probably throw me completely off track🤣.

I've been to the city in 2018 and I know it like the back of my hand🤭. Since when do I have …

Arrived happily in Porto yesterday, in no time at all by metro to the Trinidade terminus and then off to the Passenger Hostel. In the evening you should definitely see the illuminated bridge Ponte Dom Luis and was totally amazed. Today's Monday was a viewing day only. I picked out a few stations, which I then wandered off to during …

Today we cycled the same route to Porto again. I no longer recorded the route.
Porto is totally overcrowded at the moment, we have never seen the city so full. But simply beautiful with its narrow streets.
