Traveler reviews
Joe Lobotka
★★★★★9 months agoOne of the best sunset sightseeing spots in Porto, hands down! If you're looking for a perfect place to watch the sun go down over Duoro river and the famous Porto's bridge but with almost no tourist, you just found it. Plus, after you get bored, you can find amazing cheap, local & authentic restaurants/bars with outside seating lining the bank right next to this stop - perfect to grab a snack or beer and watch the local students living the Porto's night life.
Alicia Bassett
★★★★★2 months agoLovely area. Great view. Lots of stairs though so be careful. There are funfair rides & food trucks for evenings. Easy to get to. Recommend the view
