📍Portugal, Porto A must-see sunset when you go to the romantic city of Porto! The hillside garden next to the Dom Luis Bridge, the symbol of Porto, is the most famous sunset point. Buy some snacks at sunset and sit on the hill to watch the setting sun, it will warm your heart 🫶🏻 There are more people than the Serra do Pilar Monastery right next door, but the great thing about it is that you can sit on the lawn and spend a lot of time leisurely. Everyone sits together and drinks beer or wine. ✔️If you go at sunset, there will be a lot of people, so I recommend going about an hour early. ✔️The alcohol and food sold at the top are expensive and there is a long line, so be sure to buy them in advance and take them with you. #Sunset spot #Overseas travel #European travel #Portugal travel #Portugal #Porto #Sunset
