Praça da Ribeira

  Praça da Ribeira sits alongside the Douro River, nestled in the historic Cais da Ribeira district of Porto. Dating back to the medieval period, this lively square has long been a central spot for both locals and visitors, serving as a vibrant hub for social gatherings and celebrations. The main feature is the picturesque riverside promenade, lined with colorful buildings that reflect Porto's architectural heritage. In spring, particularly in May, the square buzzes with activity as street performers and outdoor cafés come to life. Visitors can enjoy a stroll along the waterfront, watch the boats glide by, or savor traditional Portuguese cuisine at one of the many nearby eateries.
