Porto

#porto #oporto #SaoBento #railway #station #portugal Talvez a Estação de São Bento seja a mais bonita estação de caminhos de ferro de Portugal. A vez anterior em que visitei a estação, alguns painéis de azulejos estavam em trabalho de restauro. Nesta última visita verifiquei, com satisfação, que o trabalho tinha sido concluído e pude assim contemplar os painéis em todo o seu esplendor. Maybe São Bento Station is the most beautiful railway station in Portugal. The previous time I visited the station, some tile panels were in restoration work. On this last visit, I noticed with satisfaction that the work had been completed and I was able to contemplate the panels in all their splendor.

Porto Cathedral is a main attraction of Porto but if you walk past the Pillory of Porto down the steps you will find a nice view of the city. #potugal #porto #BvsCities
This was taken on a monument above the bridge in Vila da Gaia overlooking Porto, the Douro river, and the Ribera. It is a popular spot so If you want a good pic arrive early and go to the far right corner. This is one of the best spots to watch the sunset or look over Porto at night.
