A terraced garden and viewpoint tumbling down towards the Douro, and one of Porto’s favourite places to catch the sunset. Locals gather on the grassy steps of the Passeio das Virtudes with a drink and a picnic to watch the sky turn over Miragaia, the river and Vila Nova de Gaia beyond. Leafy, laid-back and free — come in the late afternoon, settle in, and enjoy one of the best golden-hour views in the city.
While you’re in the city, pair it with a Porto historic centre walking tour.
