Ponte da Arrabida - This is the 1st Bridge over the Douro River.
Entirely built in concrete, it was once considered the bridge with the largest arch in the world. - Reserva Natural Estuario do Douro - With 66.35 ha, the Douro Estuary Local Nature Reserve is located on the south bank of the mouth of this river, close to the fishing village of Afurada, encompassing Cabedelo and São Paio bay, where there is a salt marsh. Among the natural values it protects, the highlight goes to the birds that live here or pass through here and that can be easily observed, as it is located on the migratory corridor known as the “East Atlantic Route”.
- Passeio das Virtudes - The Parque Municipal das Virtudes is located in what was formerly the Companhia Hortícola Portuense. Designed by José Marques Loureiro (1830-1898), it was purchased in 1965 by the Porto City Council and in 1998 restoration works were carried out. One of the particularities of this garden is the fact that it is vertical, that is, it develops on terraces down the slope, so that from almost everywhere you have a unique view over the Customs House, the Douro River and Vila Nova de Gaia.

Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar - What To Expect
Additional Info
Cancellation F
The Serra do Pilar Monastery is an austere
17th century church. It has been classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since
-
The Church, classified as a National Monument, stands out for its circular plan, covered by an imposing hemispherical vault, surrounded by a balcony and crowned by a lantern. Inside, the gilded and white carved work stands out.
It preserves a beautiful cloister, also classified as a National Monument, with a circular vault with a central rib supported by 36 Ionic columns. This Mannerist monastery is a unique example in Portugal, as the church and cloister are circular in plan, a model originating from civil architecture. Its geographical location was crucial in 1809, during the invasions by Napoleonic troops and in 1832-33 as a military base during the liberal struggles.
Elevated to the category of fortress, it has since been converted into military barracks

Cais da Ribeira - I couldn’t miss a trip to Ribeira.
The best and most beautiful postcard of the city, with all its colors, life and history,
Dare to get to know it! - Jardim do Passeio Alegre - The Jardim do Passeio Alegre was designed at the end of the 19th century and is classified as a Property of Public Interest. It was designed by architect Émile David, who is also the architect of the Crystal Palace Gardens. It is a space rich in flora, with many of the trees found here being centuries old. Visitors can enjoy its shade and admire the place where the waters of the Douro River merge with those of the Atlantic Ocean. You can find a granite fountain, designed by architect Nicolau Nasoni, the author of the Torre dos Clérigos. Known as the “fountain of the turtle”, it was built in the 18th century to adorn the gardens of Quinta da Prelada, and it was only in the 20th century that it was transferred to Jardim do Passeio Alegre. The two obelisks, which mark one of the garden’s entrances, were also designed by Nasoni. Don’t miss the bandstand, which occasionally serves as a stage for various concerts, and the public bathrooms, built in 1910.
