Porto Cathedral
Porto Cathedral stands prominently on a hill in Porto, one of the city's ancient monuments. The facade is almost devoid of decoration, making it quite unique among church architecture: two square bell towers flank the sides, with a Romanesque rose window and a Baroque-era portico set against a plain facade, while the crenellated battlements above give the entire structure a fortress-like appearance. The Baroque loggia on the side facade, designed by Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni, adds a touch of splendor to the exterior. Porto Cathedral stands majestically on the high ground of the old town, one of the ancient buildings still existing in Porto and an important example of Romanesque architecture in Portugal. The cathedral was first built around 1110 and largely completed in the 13th century, with Gothic and Baroque elements added over the following centuries: the Romanesque nave, Gothic cloister, and Baroque loggia coexist within the same structure, making a visit akin to flipping through a three-dimensional architectural history book. As a city landmark that has existed for nearly a millennium, the church was built approx. in 1110, with construction spanning a century. Even today, many intricate architectural features remain fascinating. The square bell towers on either side of the church are quite unique due to their nearly bare facades, while the crenellated structures at the top incorporate castle-like elements. Additionally, the interior features many delightful blue-and-white tile murals, a hallmark of Portuguese architecture.Porto · 68.9 km from Peso Da Regua
Alfama
Alfamais one of Lisbon's historic districts, nestled on a hill overlooking the Tagus River, tucked between São Jorge Castle and the river bend. This area survived the Great Lisbon Earthquake and still retains its medieval street layout—winding cobblestone paths and a maze of stone stairways. As you head up the slope, you'll see colorful, old-fashioned houses on both sides, their walls adorned with blue and white tiles, and balconies often draped with laundry and blooming flowers. This is the birthplace of Fado, the national music of Portugal. After nightfall, the sounds of guitars and singing drift from Fado restaurants deep within the alleys, haunting and melodic, creating anAlfamasignature nighttime experience. During the day, the old town features several viewpoints—Miradouro das Portas do Sol and Miradouro de Santa Luzia both face the Tagus River, offering panoramic views of the layered red-tiled roofs and the river in the distance; Miradouro da Graça is situated higher up and often gathers crowds waiting for the sunset in the evening. The yellow Tram 28, which winds through the steep slopes of the old town, is an iconic image of Lisbon. At the top of the old town, you can also visit historic sites such as São Jorge Castle and Lisbon Cathedral.Portugal · Lisbon
Avenida da Liberdade
Avenida da Liberdade is a grand boulevard in Lisbon that starts at Restauradores Square in the south and extends north to Marquis of Pombal Square, featuring a wide roadway. It is known as Lisbon's Champs-Élysées due to its collection of hotels, brand flagship stores, and various embassies. The boulevard is lined with trees, and the pedestrian walkways are paved with black and white cobblestones in traditional Portuguese patterns. Along the way, you will find small gardens, fountains, and statues of figures such as the writer Almeida Garrett, making it a delightful place for a stroll. The history of this avenue is closely linked to the city's reconstruction after the 1755 earthquake: it was originally a walled promenade for the nobility. It wasn't until the city expanded northward in the late 19th century that it was rebuilt into the current avenue, modeled after Parisian boulevards. At the northern roundabout stands the Estatua do Marques de Pombal, honoring the man who led the post-earthquake reconstruction. With Eduardo VII Park in the background, it is a classic vantage point to overlook the entire avenue.Portugal · Lisbon
Park of the Nations
Park of the Nations is located along the banks of theTagus Riverand was transformed from the site of the 1998 World Expo. This World Expo was themed "The Oceans, a Heritage for the Future" and was held to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the explorer Vasco da Gama's arrival in India. The Vasco da Gama Tower BABYLON 360º within the park and theVasco da Gama Bridgenearby are both named after him. After the World Expo closed, this former industrial shoreline was not left idle but was transformed into a new waterfront district integrating office, cultural, residential, and commercial spaces, often regarded as a successful example of post-Expo site utilization. Strolling along the waterfront promenade that stretches along the river, you can still see many Expo buildings that have been preserved to this day: the Lisbon Oceanarium and the interactive science center, which evolved from the original pavilions, are both located here; the sail-shaped Vasco da Gama Tower BABYLON 360º, the large-span concrete canopy of the Portugal Pavilion, and the white vaulted gallery of the Gare Do Oriente make this an area concentrated with modern architecture in Lisbon, forming a sharp contrast with the narrow stone alleys of the old town. You can also take a sightseeing cable car suspended over the Tagus River to overlook the entire park and the river from above; after nightfall, the bars and restaurants along the river light up, and the lights of theVasco da Gama Bridgein the distance are clearly visible.Portugal · Lisbon
Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco)
Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco) is located in Lisbon's Baixa Pombalina and is an open square facing the Tagus River. Because the former royal Ribeira Palace was once located here, it is still often referred to as Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco). Historically, King Manuel I moved the royal residence from São Jorge Castle on the hill to the riverside, and this area subsequently developed into an important port and shipbuilding hub. The tsunami and fire triggered by the 1755 earthquake destroyed the Ribeira Palace along with the royal library, which housed tens of thousands of books. When the Marquis of Pombal oversaw the reconstruction, he did not restore the palace but instead planned the area as a large U-shaped square enclosed by yellow arcaded buildings on three sides and facing the river on the fourth. He renamed it "Commerce" to signify the shift from royal power to trade, and these arcaded buildings were long used as offices for various government departments. Today, a bronze equestrian statue of King José I stands in the center of the square. The dark horse rears its front hooves, trampling a snake that symbolizes chaos, and the front of the pedestal is embedded with a relief bust of the Marquis of Pombal. The statue faces the Tagus River and is aligned with theRua Augusta Archto the north. The columned pier on the riverside consists of marble steps and a pair of stone columns, where foreign dignitaries arriving in Lisbon by boat would disembark in the past. This square has also witnessed historical moments such as the assassination of King Carlos I and the Crown Prince in 1908 and the Carnation Revolution in 1974, and the old cafes within the arcades were once places where intellectuals gathered to talk.Portugal · Lisbon
Rossio Square
Rossio Square is located at the end of Rua Augusta. Since the Middle Ages, it has been one of the city's main public squares, historically serving as a stage for popular uprisings, celebrations, bullfights, and even executions. Today, it has evolved into a gathering place that both Lisboners and tourists love to visit. The square's official name is actually "Praça de D. Pedro IV," but locals have never accepted this name, which was only adopted in the 19th century, and continue to use the old name "Rossio," which means "public square" in old Portuguese. The square is not large, but its attractions are quite concentrated. The ground is paved with black and white cobblestones in a continuous wave pattern, a classic design of Portuguese pavement, which looks like a rolling sea from a distance. At the center, the commemorative column is topped by a statue of Pedro IV, who is dressed in a general's uniform, wearing a laurel wreath, and holding the charter he promulgated. The four corners of the column base are decorated with four female statues symbolizing justice, wisdom, fortitude, and temperance, which are considered annotations of his virtues. The two bronze fountains next to the column were shipped from France. The National Theater on the north side and the Neo-Manueline facade of the train station to the northwest are also worth looking up to admire. Most of the buildings surrounding the square date back to the reconstruction after the 1755 earthquake, continuing the uniform facades of the Pombaline downtown district. The surrounding cafes are mostly quite old. Café Nicola, which opened in the 18th century, was once a place where the poet Bocage and his friends would gather to talk.Portugal · Lisbon
Ribeira
Ribeira is located in the historic center of Porto and is one of the city's iconic riverside districts. Built along the hillside, narrow cobblestone streets extend toward the riverbank, lined with colorful traditional buildings. Red-tiled roofs, balconies, arches, and street-side shops create a distinct urban landscape. Ribeira Square, located along the river, is an important public space in the district, surrounded by restaurants, cafes, bars, and souvenir shops. Visitors can relax at outdoor seating areas and enjoy the view of the Douro River and Vila Nova de Gaia on the opposite bank. Sightseeing boats are moored at the riverbank docks. Taking a boat allows you to admire the architecture along the Douro River and the bridges connecting the two banks, among which the Luís I Bridge is particularly striking.Porto · 68.9 km from Peso Da Regua
Luís I Bridge
The Luís I Bridge is located in Porto, Portugal, and is an important bridge spanning the Douro River, connecting Porto's historic center with Vila Nova de Gaia. It is also a highly representative city landmark. The structure features a large iron arch and a two-level deck design, with a total length of approximately 395m. The bridge is composed of dark metal components, and its massive curved arch spans the valley, showcasing the characteristics of 19th-century industrial architecture. The upper deck connects the area near Porto Cathedral with the Jardim do Morro in Vila Nova de Gaia and is currently used by Porto's subway trains and pedestrians; the lower deck is closer to the riverbank, connecting the Ribeira district of Porto with the riverside area of Vila Nova de Gaia, and also features a pedestrian walkway.Porto · 68.8 km from Peso Da Regua
Chapel of Souls
Chapel of Souls is located on Rua de Santa Catarina in the city center of Porto, Portugal, and is one of the representative religious buildings in the area. It was built in the early 18th century, with the overall building based on a simple stone structure, featuring an entrance, arched decorative windows, and a two-story bell tower on the front. A distinctive feature here is the large area of traditional blue-and-white Portuguese tiles covering the exterior walls. The tile decoration was completed in 1929, and the images depict the lives of Saint Francis and Saint Catherine, as well as religious stories. The blue-and-white patterns extend along the front and side walls, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding busy commercial street. The interior of the building features a main altar, side altars, and religious art decorations, including an altarpiece depicting the Ascension of Christ, as well as stained-glass windows.Porto · 68.4 km from Peso Da Regua
Obidos Village
Obidos Village is located in the central west coast region of Portugal, approx. 80 km from Lisbon, and is a village known for its medieval style and traditional Portuguese architecture. Its core area is surrounded by well-preserved medieval city walls, with a castle situated on high ground. White houses are arranged along narrow cobblestone streets, with exterior walls often decorated in blue or yellow, and windowsills adorned with flowers and vines, creating a distinct rural view. Within the village, you can also visit places such as the Church of Saint Mary, the Church of Saint Peter, and the Municipal Museum. The city wall walkway offers views of the village rooftops, surrounding fields, and distant hills.Portugal · Obidos

Vasco da Gama Bridge 🆚 Sports Park
(Vasco da Gama Bridge)
One of the longest bridges in Europe, 17.2 kilometers long.
The bridge is located in the parish of Moscavide, about 10 kilometers northeast of Lisbon, part of the city of Loures, close to the Tagus River.
On both sides of the bridge is a quiet modern community with a slow-paced atmosphere. It is also popular among locals because of its proximity to Lisbon Airport and the modern National Park (Parque das Nações); especially the sports park under the bridge, which is close to the water and has a large green space. In the evening, sports enthusiasts run on the overhead walkway from time to time, and there are sports figures everywhere on the tennis courts, padle courts and football fields.

In the center of the park is a bronze statue of Brazil's first governor, Pedro IV, with fountains on both sides. Our last stop today is to visit Edward VII Park behind Rossio Square at the end of Liberty Avenue. Edward VII Park is built on a hill with a fountain and a monument on the top of the hill.

There are old towns along the Douro River. Although they look a bit shabby at first glance, I really like the atmosphere of history that is a bit dilapidated. The old town is also colorful and well-arranged, and it looks even more lovely under the sunshine. There are many small shops in the old street where you can stroll around and buy some local specialties. There are also many scenic restaurants along the river where you can spend a very relaxing afternoon.

There are so many people. The bridge has two floors. The lower floor is mainly for traffic, and the upper floor has a large number of hikers and trams. You can stop to admire the Douro River and the buildings on both sides. The scenery is very good. There are railways and trams on the bridge, so you must pay attention to safety and be careful about your finances.

The Holy Spirit Church in Bodo is a blue and white porcelain tile building. It uses tiles to collage stories from the Bible. It is very creative and distinctive. It is very conspicuous at the corner and is also a photo spot. If you have the opportunity, you can come to Bodo. It is a very beautiful attraction!

Obidos, north of Lisbon, was once ruled by the Moors and ancient Rome, leaving behind many historical buildings. In the 12th century, the king at the time gave it to the queen because he loved it. After that, Obidos became a town inherited by successive queens. The Santa Maria Church in the town is the holy place where the king and queen got married. The cobblestone road spirals up and leads us to the city gate. The beautiful white-bottomed blue-flowered painted tiles are very eye-catching. Climb up the walls around the castle and you can see far away. The main street is full of souvenir shops, restaurants, and stalls selling Ginja. This brandy produced in Obidos is cherry wine served in chocolate cups. It costs 1 euro a cup. It has a strong fruity flavor and is mellow and delicious. Obidos is very popular with tourists because of its beautiful scenery.
