View of the Ponte Dom Lúis I bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

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

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.

April 7, 2022,Tag 1 - Porto - Matosinhos

Arrived in Porto in the afternoon and far too excited to arrive.

It had to start right away. Checked in at the hostel, to the cathedral, picked up stamps and the first 11 km along the Douro and the Atlantic coast to Matosinhos. Take the metro back to the city.

jomi Difficulty: 🟢
(Difficulty levels from easy to brutal: 🔵🟢🟡🔴⚫️)

Arrived in Porto in the evening. The flight ✈️ went well, but the metro into the city is poorly explained and mostly in Portuguese. Well, it's Portugal here, too. You can still figure out how to read with Spanish, but the pronunciation is a complete disaster. I also got lost …

This morning we had a quiet breakfast and walked at our leisure to the Dom to officially start the Camino. Was first through the city and then especially along the Douro. Nice walking bridge and kind of boulevard. Delicious espresso drunk, of course with pastel de nata, at a typical Portuguese cafe where the old men found it very interesting …

We actually wanted to go to Valencia for a week. But after the floods with many deaths and major damage, they don't need tourists, they need help. Hopefully everything will be OK there soon. We then decided on beautiful Porto and walked towards the city marathon 🏃‍♂️ in the morning. The path along the river from the old town of …

April 7, 2024,1. Etappe von Porto nach Matosinhos

We've completed our first stage. The alarm went off just after 4 a.m. 🫣 and then we went to the airport. From Hamburg we went via Madrid (here we were an hour late, unfortunately sitting in the 🛫) to Porto. Porto welcomed us with the best weather. We took the metro, which seemed to never end (similar to the U1 …
