Porto, Portugal

Why Walk Porto

Porto is a city of dramatic topography and deep character, where every steep climb rewards you with a stunning viewpoint. The Ribeira district, a UNESCO World Heritage site, hugs the Douro with its colorful facades and riverside cafes. Crossing the iconic Dom Luis I Bridge on foot — on the upper deck for vertiginous views — brings you to Vila Nova de Gaia and its famous port wine cellars. Back in the city center, the Livraria Lello dazzles with its Art Nouveau staircase, Sao Bento station shimmers with 20,000 blue-and-white azulejo tiles, and the Clerigos Tower offers a panoramic climb. The Bolhao market, the Foz do Douro seaside promenade, and the emerging Bomfim neighborhood all reward walking exploration.
