Porto travel guide · Avenida dos Aliados and São Bento Station
Porto is located on the slopes of the north bank of the Douro, between the historic center classified by UNESCO, Ribeira and the Atlantic front. São Bento, the Cathedral, the Clérigos, the Palácio da Bolsa and the bridges help to understand different periods of the city. Reserve time for steep routes and don't limit your visit to just the Ribeira or the cellars, which are in Vila Nova de Gaia. The baroque complex designed by Nicolau Nasoni in the 18th century includes the church, the brotherhood's house and the tower that became a vertical and urban reference in Porto.
