Estadio do Dragao

Have you ever thought of taking a seat on the 22nd chair of the Dragao Stadium's Presidential Box? By visiting the Dragao Stadium, you will be able to experience the President's Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa place and enjoy an inside and privileged look over this worldwide referenced work designed by architect Manuel Salgado. You will have the opportunity to see the pitch from the access tunnel's point of view, to feel the scent of the dressing rooms, to take the coach's seat on the press conference room just like you are making the match analysis... On this path you will appreciate an engineering project that delivers all of the requirements that make it environmentally friendly, you can witness on the stands the 29 kilometres of rows that can fill up to 52 thousand spectators and amaze yourself with the artistic legacy of Master Julio Resende and Alberto Carneiro. All of this in one tour only!

A fantastic place to visit tour of ground and museum €15 per person well worth the money as a trip. Tour guide very knowledgeable and after the tour of the stadium finished you are able to go around the museum unguided and at your own pace you can easily spend over 2 hours here the museum is never-ending ! Interesting day out if you like football. There is also a competitively priced cafe .

Liberdade Square

Reviewed By kiwibuddy1 - Grand Bend, Canada

Praca da Liberdade (Liberty Square) has its origins in the early 18th century, and remains one of the most important and beautiful squares in Porto. Anchored by the imposing city hall and its 70 m high clock tower, the Praca is home to several important banks and hotels, the towering 10 m bronze equestrian statue of Pedro IV, several theatres, Cardosa Palace, the hop on hop off ticket offices, and countless pastry shops and cafes.

Capela do Senhor da Pedra

Reviewed By AkoSiAys - Bonn, Germany

This little chapel sits on some rocks on the beach. One reason enough to visit it! We reached the place by bike from the Luís I Bridge. It was a nice bicycle ride as there are good bike paths along the beach promenade. The chapel is actually simple but the location made it really unique. It is quite peaceful and hearing the waves while there is really calming. The view from the chapel is also nice. You can go around it and stay on the rocks behind the chapel to enjoy the breeze.

Cemiterio de Agramonte

Reviewed By zemariacouple - Porto, Portugal

A walk on memories, feelings, snapshot into the future. Its not sad, the trees, the smell of flowers sometimes mixed with no many candles, its like walking in a peaceful city of dead bodies but the memories are still alive. If you want to see how it is life after death its a unique place to say that maybe its not so bad. Please visit it with sunshine, but specially close to sunset. From the graveyard to the river, a fantastic perspective of life.
