The most famous street in Porto, along the Douro River. It is full of clubs, small artisans and singer-songwriters. Nice atmosphere. Furthermore, it is possible to see various attractions even from afar. La via più famosa di Porto, lungo il fiume Douro. È pieno di locali, di piccoli artigiani e cantiautori. Bella atmosfera. In più è possibile vedere diverse attrazioni anche se da lontano.

From here you had access to the infamous Ponte das Barcas, where in the year 1809 more than 4 thousand people died during an attack by French troops. Today, a bronze bas-relief attests to this moment. At the Pier it is possible to observe the existence of a door called Postigo do Carvão. Of the 18 doors or shutters in the Fernandina Wall built in the 14th century, this is the only one that has remained to this day. This riverside is surrounded by cafes and shops make this one of the main tourist areas in the city. Nice to stroll when you have shiny weather, but even on a rainy day there are allot of people walking arround.

Cais de Ribeira is the area of Porto located by the river. It's a touristy place, but it's worth taking a stroll. It's full of bars and restaurants, as well as people performing street acts. The views of the river or the Luís I Bridge are spectacular.

Wandered down here for a couple of afternoons, great atmosphere, bars, restaurants, buskers, cafes,shops, boat rides along the river, it's all going on here. Sat for coffee and beer in a couple of the bars, prices are cheap and service was good. Great views over the river.

This boardwalk alongside the Douro river was a very short walk from where we were staying and we visited every day of our short stay. Lined with cafes, bars and restaurants, there is lots of space for a sit down and a relax while watching the life of Porto. Buskers make the experience more enjoyable too!

Absolutely a place you should not miss if you are visiting Porto. Full of tourist traps, well yes, but that you can choose to avoid. Have a seat at a cafe, get a glass of wine and enjoy the show. Loads of people walking along the river and plenty of boats passing by. You will have a lot to watch - and the view of the city is stunning.

Spent 5 days in Porto recently and the Ribeira was clearly one of the highlights. Despite being "off season" the place was mobbed with tourists despite the cold, damp and off and on rain. There are countless restaurants, bars, shops, street vendors as well as musicians to keep your attention but the riverside location, colorful buildings and non stop boat traffic is also a big draw! No trip to Porto is complete without a few hours on the Ribeira!

One of the most photographed and popular places in Porto. I feel at home when there, sitting on the dock and just watching people go by, listening to street musicians or simply gazing at the river. Let yourself explore the narrow streets of Ribeira, enjoy the view of the Dom Luis bridge, and immerse your senses in the mixture of languages and faces. Eat your nata there, but watch out for the seagulls :)
