It's a classic from Campanhã and a valid reason to want to miss the train. A Tasca in the true sense of the word, inside with a counter and a single table, on the street, a terrace sponsored by a beverage brand.

The beautiful Igreja do Carmo, another must-see when visiting Porto, built between 1756 and 1768.
Something rare that you will notice is the fact that the Igreja do Carmo is located next to another church, the Igreja dos Carmelitas, built between 1616 and 1628.
When looking from the front, we have the impression that the two churches are together but, in reality, they are separated by the narrowest building in Porto, called Casa Escondida.
Do not hesitate to enter to discover this impressive property. The ticket will also allow you to visit the Igreja do Carmo and the Catacombs.

It is certainly the narrowest house in Porto and probably in Portugal and competes with several narrow houses around the world.
What I hear from people in the city is that it was not allowed by the Vatican to build two churches like that, one next to the other, which is why this small, narrow house was built between the two churches. Separating the buildings.

From the cloister of the Igreja de São Francisco, destroyed in a fire during the Siege of Porto, the Palácio da Bolsa was born. The neoclassical-style building is a symbol of Porto.
Not so much for its imposing exterior but for the interior halls that are of a splendor that amazes all visitors.
The Arab Room is one of the most praised for its opulent and brilliant ornamentation, but each room has a rare sumptuousness.

Porto Cathedral, built between the 12th and 13th centuries. The Cathedral has the particularity of having been fortified to protect the city from invaders – you will certainly want to know this monument when you visit Porto.
During your visit to the Cathedral, be sure to pay a visit to the cloister, where you can admire tiled biblical scenes, the treasure room and the ambulatory. In front of the Cathedral, you will have a beautiful view over the historic area of Porto and the Douro River.

The Escadas da Vitória, or Escadas da Esnoga until recently, connect Vitória to Largo de São Domingos. This is the area of the Judiaria Nova do Olival and the stairs gave direct access to the synagogue that used to exist here. Don't miss the city and river views at Miradouro da Vitória.

On top of the Infante Dom Henrique Garden, we see the structure of the Ferreira Borges Market. Built in 1885 to replace the Mercado da Ribeira, it had little use for that purpose.
It is representative of the wrought iron architecture in Porto and today houses the beer restaurant O Mercado and the Hard Club, a space for musical and cultural events with personality.
The building and the views are attractive to urban and architectural photography enthusiasts.
North of the Market is the Palácio das Artes, today a talent factory for young people. A small detour in Largo de São Domingo, along Rua das Flores, gives you the possibility to see the monumental Igreja da Misericórdia do Porto.

On Rua da Reboleira there are some secrets to reveal. This is the case of door nº 59, a tower house classified as a national heritage such as the Medieval Tower of Reboleira and nº 55, which maintains the Gothic porticos and large windows.
And it looks like there are a few more here. Anyone who breaks down the plaster on the walls risks finding a piece of a medieval wall or tower, which is what happened at nº13 in November 2018.

São João National Theater
Praça da BatalhaOne of the most characteristic features of the churches of Porto is the decoration with Portuguese tiles. The Baroque Church of Santo Ildefonso in Praça da Batalha is one such example.
The current temple dates from the 18th century, the tiles were only added in the 1930s and are by Jorge Rey Colaço, the same ceramist responsible for the panels at the São Bento Station.
In this same square are two icons of the theaters of Porto, the São João National Theater and the Batalha Cinema. “Entreparedes”, Cervejaria Gazela invites you to taste a Cachorrinho da Batalha accompanied by a fresh beer.

One of the tastiest things to do in Porto is discovering the narrow alleys of the city, the ones where cars don't fit and they still say good morning when passing by.
This is the case of Rua de Sant’Ana, made famous by Almeida Garrett. It was made by the Romans and it was essential to connect the upper part of the city to the riverside mercantile area.
The name is a reference to the Arco de Sant’Ana, door of the medieval wall that once existed here. The stone paving has been preserved, but the only remains of the arch where the image of Santa Ana was venerated.

Foz is the bathing area of Porto. The waterfront invites you to take long walks, which makes it a favorite spot for many people from Porto to stretch their legs or go jogging. And all this while enjoying the views over the Atlantic.
On foot, get ready for more than 6 km hard. Interestingly, one of the traditions of Porto is to end the night of São João with this walk, round trip! That's why São João only ends at dawn and brings everyone to their knees.
Take tram 1 or bus 500 that connects Ribeira to Foz, without getting tired.
We always advise you to finish one of your days of your Porto itinerary (or even both) by the river. It couldn't be any other way because Porto and Douro cannot live without the other.
