Overview
On the banks of the Douro, Ribeira Square is Porto's historic heart and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with vivid façades lining the waterfront. Once the hub of medieval merchants and fishermen, it now overflows with terrace cafés and restaurants loved by locals and travellers alike. The upper deck of the Dom Luís I Bridge offers an especially breathtaking view of Ribeira. Sipping port wine by the river at sunset is the quintessential Porto experience. Free to visit. 10-minute downhill walk from Metro D São Bento station.
