This little apartment is a hidden gem, offering one of the best views of the bridge in the whole city. We always look for unique accommodations, and if we can, this one exceeded our expectations.
Most Insta stay in Porto
This is probably the most picturesque train station we've ever been to! It is a must visit place with lots of people coming and going. Early morning is the best time to visit and capture the beautifully decorated interior of it.
Porto São Bento
For those who love to escape the city bustle and love nature, this park is a must. It also have the most beautiful sunset picture spot whoch you absolutely can't miss.
Jardins do Palácio de Cristal
Luis I Bridge is the most iconic view in Porto. There are so many different viewpoints to capture it and all of them provide a different perspective. Make sure you walk across it and admire the view from it too. The best time is sunset !
Luis I Bridge
This place is absolutely stunning! You have to join a guided tour to see it, but it is worth it. Top tip - if you want to take pics without people in them, either be right at the front or stay behind and take them once everyone left.
Palácio da Bolsa
This little book store is incredible. However, it gets super busy. We booked the first slot but didn't come early to queue, so we had already over 50 people in front. If you want to enjoy it more, we suggest either the earlier special tickets or arri...
Livraria Lello
A must if you're either a history lover or love to capture as many spots with those gorgeous blue and white tiles. We recommend afternoon visit to be able to capture its beauty 😍
Igreja do Carmo & Igreja dos Carmelitas
The wall of this church is probably one of the most famous picture backgrounds in all Porto. But don't underestimate the inside. Made sure you step in and explore it, too.
Chapel of Souls
Porto's Cathedral is one of the most picturesque Instagram spots in Porto. There are so many different angles to choose from, as the beautifully tiled walls form a perfect backdrop for pictures.
Porto Cathedral – Sé do Porto - Location, opening hours and price
Another amazing example of blue azulejo tiles in Porto and one of the popular Instagram spots. There are reportedly 11,000 tiles covering the Santo Ildefonso church that depict scenes from his life.
Igreja de Santo Ildefonso
Igreja de São Francisco church may not feature the famous blue tiles, but we found its impressive exterior to be very picture-worthy in its own way, and it's very close to Palácio da Bolsa.
Igreja de São Francisco
The colorful riverside neighborhood is a UNESCO World Heritage site, featuring narrow medieval streets and picturesque buildings that cascade down to the Douro River.
Ribeira - One of the most beautiful and liveliest areas of Porto.
The historic quayside with colorful buildings along the Douro River. This is a very picturesque area, with probably the most Instagram-worthy spots in all of Porto.
Cais da Ribeira
You can find it opposite the Jardim do Morro park, on the right-hand side of Restaurant Esplanada Jardim do Morro. There are stairs that lead to this viewpoint. You can get some amazing photos of Porto from there.
Gaia Cable Car viewpoint
This cool spot is located on Rua de Arnaldo Gama, just a few hundred meters from the top of the Funicular. It can be busy, so we recommend coming here early
