🇵🇹I thought Lisbon was beautiful enough until I came to Porto… The Lights of the Douro | Porto, Portugal Sunset falls into the Douro River Ripples are broken gold Someone is walking on the bridge The shadow reached the other side before him. The red roof lies in the wind Dreaming of the bells of the old days Half of the city's nightscape remains in the glass The nights in Porto never get too old Unless a drunk person Forgot where I came from ~Porto, Portugal~ If Lisbon is an elegant lady, Porto is like a poet who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, quietly gazing at the ever-flowing Douro River and telling his own story. Porto, also known as Oporto, is the second largest city in Portugal, with a history dating back to the 4th century BC. The Romans established an important trading port here, and "Portus Cale" is the origin of the name of Portugal. Porto's wine culture is well-known. Since the 17th century, Port Wine has become a world-renowned sweet fortified wine. The city is also known for its Baroque architecture and colorful tiles (Azulejos). If you want to take some nice photos, you must go for a walk along the Douro River. Strolling along the shore, the old town with red tiles and yellow walls is built against the mountain, with a staggered layout, like a fairy tale world. The ancient iron bridge spans the two banks, and the traditional wooden boats (Rabelo) on the river carry the historical memory of Porto wine. Spanning the two banks is the Ponte Luís I Bridge. Standing on this double-deck iron bridge designed by Eiffel's disciples in 1886, you can see the historic Old Town of Porto on one side and Vila Nova de Gaia on the other. The two face each other across the river, forming a unique urban landscape. In addition to the scenery of the Douro River, the following historical and cultural attractions in Porto are also worth visiting: 📍Porto Cathedral (Sé do Porto): One of the oldest buildings in Porto, it combines Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque styles. Standing on the church square, you can overlook the entire city. 📍Livraria Lello: Known as one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world, the red spiral staircase and Gothic decorations make people feel like they have walked into the magical world of "Harry Potter". 📍São Bento Railway Station (Estação de São Bento): This railway station, which uses more than 20,000 blue and white tiles to collage Portuguese historical scenes, is one of Porto's most representative artistic landmarks. 📍Torre dos Clérigos Church and Bell Tower: A landmark building in Porto. Climbing the 76-meter-high bell tower, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire city.
