Ribeira is known for its colorful historic buildings, narrow cobbled streets, lively riverside terraces, and restaurants.

The Ponte de Dom Luís I (Luís I Bridge) is one of Porto’s most iconic and emblematic bridges. This metal bridge crosses the River Douro and connects Porto to Vila Nova de Gaia.

Serra do Pilar is an elevation located on the left bank of the River Douro, in Vila Nova de Gaia. Its name derives from the church and monastery at the top of the mountain, the Serra do Pilar Monastery, built in the 16th century.

The Muralha Fernandina is an ancient defensive wall that surrounded the city of Porto. Built in the 14th century, during the reign of King Fernando I of Portugal, the main purpose of the wall was to protect the city from invasions and external attacks. Today, some vestiges of the Muralha Fernandina can still be seen in different parts of the city, such as the Torre da Rua de Baixo and the Torre de Menagem. These historical remnants bear witness to the defensive importance of the wall throughout Porto’s history and contribute to the city’s rich heritage.
