Small, but beautiful church, located at Rua de Santa Catarina. Free entrance. It's covered by beautiful, amazing blue tiles, typical for Portugal, "azulejos". Worth to see it.

Oh my goodness this is beautful - the church is right in the pedestrianised heart of the city with its walls adorned in those gorgeous blue azulejas that the city is famed for. Don't miss it!

The Chapel of Souls is gorgeous! It has ‘azulejos’ all over the walls! It’s definitely worth walking by and it’s located in Rua de Santa Catarina, another adorable spot in Porto! Gorgeous street with loads of cafe, pastelarias and stores!

If you are not housed around it, make sure you pass by and take some pictures next to it. Make sure you wear vivid-popping-out-clothes!…
