Oh, you're in for a treat if you're looking for the best places to see the sunset in Porto!
The city is full of stunning viewpoints, and we've got two favorites that are sure to knock your socks off.
First up, we have Jardim do Morro, which literally means "Garden of the Hill.", it's a beautiful garden located on the opposite side of the Douro River from Porto's city center. To get to the garden, you simply need to cross the D. Luis I Bridge, which offers stunning views of the river and the cityscape. Once you get to the top, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Douro River and the city skyline.
Next, we have Jardim das Virtudes, which translates to "Garden of Virtues." This park has plenty of benches and grassy areas to relax on while you take in the sunset. And if you're lucky, you might even catch a free outdoor concert or art exhibit while you're there!
Now, I know what you're thinking - "But wait, Friends, there are so many other places to see the sunset in Porto, like the Ribeira or the beach!" And you're right, there are plenty of other options, but these are our favorite.
So grab a bottle of wine, some snacks, and your favorite person, and head on up to one of these viewpoints. Trust me, you won't be disappointed - unless you forget the bug spray.
