The dock of the Ribeira do Porto is a place chosen by all to stroll, alone, with the family or with friends, as we can admire the beauty of the river Douro or Vila Nova de Gaia, as well as the beautiful Ponte Luis I that unites the two cities.

Unesco world heritage site and definitely a must visit place while in Porto. Crowded but very lively, full of restaurants and road side shows. One must be careful with the belongings in this place. We visited on two occasions and both times it was beautifully sunny. Also took a boat ride which included 6 bridges. You can see Villa Da Gaia across the Douro river.
Very touristic and equally busy, as one would expect. Especially on sunny days. But the views are not to be missed.
Absolutely fabulous .Wander around the Ribeira area then take lunch or dinner in the many fabulous eating places.
This is the place to go to in Porto, day or night. Wonderfully unique architecture all around. Plenty of interesting side streets to explore. The river front full of life with its cafes, bars and restaurants catering for all tastes and budgets. Buskers and entertainment all around you at all times. And of course amazing views of the Duoro river. If you only go one place in Portugal...make it here.
If you can get to see the area at night .... very pleasant and nice views. Some nice restaurant in the area.
