The best view in Porto
The Jardim do Morro is the best view in Porto and conveniently located near the most famous double deck bridge, Luiz I. you will find many couples and families come here to enjoy the glorious sunset.
There are many vendors nearby that sell snacks and drinks for you to enjoy. The view across the river is truly stunning and one of my best memories of Porto.
