Top things to do in Porto

Miradouro da Vitória

At the southern top of the old medieval Jewry, on Rua de São Bento da Vitória, there is one of the best viewpoints of Oporto. The small square where now opens a landscape where you can see the Port Wine cellars and the Rabelo boats on the bank of the Douro river, was also the scene of the liberal wars, leaving one of the bullets of the battle stuck in the wall of Nossa Senhora da Vitória Church.

From this viewpoint you can see the Palácio da Bolsa, the São Francisco Church, the Luis I Bridge, the Cathedral hill and the Episcopal Palace, and the Serra do Pilar Monastery, making it one of the most comprehensive viewpoints in the city.
