Jardins do Palácio de Cristal

The former Crystal Palace is no longer there, but luckily its gardens remain. The park is compact, but so incredibly diverse that it seems to be many parks into one. Besides that, it offers some wonderful (and sometimes dramatic) views to the city and the river Douro, and it also houses a handful of very photogenic peacocks.

Hands down one of the best places to get the best view over the city of Porto and the Douro River. You can hike there or take the metro/bus. Locals love this place because of its height and the view you get extends all the way from the city centre until the open ocean.

Great little park with amazing views to the river, right in the city center. A lot of young people come here at the end of the day to catch some sun and watch the sunset while drinking a cheap beer or cider from one of the cafes in the street.

It's a small, sort of hidden place, but it's terrace offers some great views to the Douro River and creates a perfect setting for an intimist jazz session. They have a good variety of wine and beers, and if you are lucky to get a nice day, you'll even be able to enjoy a session with one of those gorgeous Porto sunsets as a background.

This place is where many young people from Porto gather to have a beer or two together, while watching the city from a very special site. The place is not as popular as other places, but it gives you definitely one the best views of the city and the river!

Porto has many amazing viewpoints from where one can watch great sunsets, but this one is hard to beat: the sun sets in the ocean in splendid fashion while the sailboats passes by and the fishermen interact in lively ways, to the delight of locals and turists alike. Also, the presence of the phare just makes it even more scenic. Picture-perfect!

In an old building rehabilitated with respect to the original trace, there is a door that leads us through a tunnel of stone decorated with carpets, to a garden surrounded by the hotel, that welcomes travelers and locals. With space for cultural activities, party, yoga and a food-truck parked in the beautiful garden.

It's a regular contemporary museum but it has an unique garden, with lakes to get lost. Is a great opportunity to escape crowded touristy places and have some time for art and nature at the same time.
Also really good for architecture lovers.

It is a very quiet place near a small church. The view is relaxing. I prefer to go there during the night after dinner for a digestive. There are no shops or cafés so you need to carry your Porto wine bottle...
