Porto is a precious city full of viewpoints, churches and traditional Portuguese buildings and it’s natural that it is one of the best photographic cities in the world. Now I will take you to 6 most instagrammable photo spots in Porto.
Porto has several viewpoints. This spot right in front of the cathedral is one of them, it’s in the city center so easily accessible and has a great city view.
2. Largo da Pena Ventosa
When I was walking around this spot, all I could here was people saying, “Oh my god, it’s so beautiful”. Traditional Portuguese buildings in pastel colors and small alley make a perfect photo spot.
3. Igreja do Carmo
I am sure you have seen this spot somewhere at least once. This is THE spot in Porto and you will see why it’s so popular. The azulejos such a great piece of art and impressive. Tip, if you want to get a shot without crowd, make sure to get there as early as possible. I was there around 10 am and there were already lots of people.
4. Miradouro da Vitória
Actually, this picture is taken just below of Miradouro. I went to Miradouro but I wasn’t really convinced to shoot, although it has a great view, so was walking around and found this spot. This location somehow really reminded me of Comuna 13 in Medellin (which I haven’t been yet ahah). Anyways, the view, stairs and graffiti were giving such a cool vibe!
5. Puente Don Luis I
This is another must spot; you cannot visit Porto without taking a picture under this famous bridge 🙂 Make sure to also take a moment and enjoy the view.
6. Rua do Ferraz
I actually stumbled upon this street by accident. I loved this small alley with the church on the background. You do need some patient to get a good shot as many people are passing by, but the result is so worth it.
Porto definitely has much more precious photo spots however If you don’t have much time, these are some essential places to stop by 🙂 I hope you get some good shots! If you want to read full experience about my tour in North of Portugal, you can read it HERE.
