Outstanding example of medieval bridge with Roman beginnings. It's made to connect both sides of the river by walking and doing that is a joy with impressive views all around.

Very interesting visit. Recogised some of the toys :-). The frase there is nothing new under the sun its so true. One can see toys that our great grandparents used caming back a few decades later just in a diferent colour! Enjoyed the visit.

Fruit plants, clinging plants and vines that existed were kept offering visitors more shade, making this space even more welcoming to those who visit. The International Garden Festival of Ponte de Lima is an annual event occurring from the last Friday of May and closing on October 31st.

You will find this park when you cross the old bridge and turn right. The entrance is just past the church. Hardly any tourists, which is hard to believe given it's location! It is one of the loveliest and most romantic parcs I've seen. Very green and luscious, beautifully kept. It has ponds, covered walks overgrown with grapevines and wisteria, rose gardens, ponds, grass, statues and even one of those famous old grain storage contraptions. It is open every day until 18:00. If you continue down the park toward the end, you'll find a spacious playground and a fitness area, but everything about it is lovely. Very varied, beautifully kept, lot's of variety. It's nice and cool, too, which is another plus! If you're looking for the exit: you leave through the same gate you entered (took me a while!). And if you love photography, make sure you don't miss it. Lot's of photo opps.

Lovely church to visit after walking across to the other side of the ponte de lima.was a nice surprise to find the doors open on a weekday and got to go inside.the church looks bigger from the outside with the beautiful blue tiles and old clock tower yet inside seemed small and cosy .lovely to visit
