A rocky beach with a 374 metre stretch of sand, it is much loved by families thanks to its two play parks. It was the first beach in Porto to be awarded a Blue Flag. The bronze statue which pays tribute to the fishermen and gives the beach its name can be found at the entrance, on Avenida de Montevideu. Created by Américo Gomes (1934), this monument pays homage to the fishermen, represented by the man that vigorously took the helm, that made working at sea his life.

Neoclassical lighthouse with a hexagonal format, ten meters high, dated from 1886. It has a red balcony and lantern and a small annex building with plastered walls painted white. The name "Molhe de Felgueiras" was given because it was built facing the stone of Felgueiras, to the West. It was modernised in 1945 and automated in 1979, and was controlled from a distance from the Leça lighthouse. It underwent conservation works in the 90's. Before being deactivated in 2009, the light has a range of 9 nautical miles, issuing a red light every 5 seconds. It currently only has the sound signal.

The "Extensão do Romantismo" is housed at Quinta da Macieirinha, or also known as Quinta do Sacramento, an old 18th-century country house that belonged to the Pinto Basto family. The building opened as a museum hub in 1972, with the aim of showing the atmosphere of a 19th-century bourgeois house, a characteristic period in Porto. Currently, station 4 of "Museu da Cidade" focuses its narrative on the king of Piedmont and Sardinia, Carlos Alberto (Charles Albert), who was exiled here and where he spent his last days. In memory of the former king, some of the house's rooms were recreated, such as the chapel, the bedchamber and the living room, based on the watercolours and lithographs from that time.

Granite pyramid topped by an artistic forged iron pinnacle. It was used to hoist the "bandeirinha da saúde" ("small flag of health"), which set the mooring limits in times of plague.

The Municipal Park of Virtues is located where the Porto Gardens Company was set before. Projected by José Marques Loureiro (1830-1898), it was bought in 1965 by the City Council of Porto and, in 1998, restoration works were carried out. One of the particularities of this garden is the fact of being vertical, in other words, it stretches out on the steep slope terraces, and therefore, from almost every part of it, there is a unique view over the Alfândega (Customs Building), the river Douro and Vila Nova de Gaia. 1 October to 30 March: 9am-6pm 1 April to 30 September: 9am-7pm

The lane has an excellent view over the river, down to the river Douro mouth bar. In the foreground one can see the Fountain of Virtudes and the terraces that go all the way down to São Pedro de Miragaia. Along the river, it is possible to see the imposing building of the former Customs House.

Descending by the narrow stairway, surrounded by the wall and the houses of Miragaia, you can see a small part of the slope of Gaia.

From the square next to this church, you can enjoy an interesting view of the Cathedral and the Bishop's Palace, over the houses of the parish of Vitória, as well as over the River Douro, the D. Luis I Bridge and the Gaia riverside.

This baroque work by Nicolau Nasoni was built in the first half of the eighteenth century. The Clérigos Tower is one of the most emblematic monuments of the city of Porto. The panoramic view over the city and the river Douro which can be seen from the top of the tower makes the 240 step climb worth the effort. Capitalising on the recent work to renovate and reconvert one of the most significant buildings in the city of Porto, based on a project which rapidly resolved the restrictions on accessing the complex, a multi-sensory facility has been created which simulates the experience of climbing up the Torre dos Clérigos. In the building of the Torre dos Clérigos, you’ll find a part of the Brotherhood’s holdings and the Christus Collection, taking you back to a time and space where art and religion complemented each other.

Construction began in 1920, but only in 1957 was it considered complete, after several interruptions and changes to the original project. The building consists of six floors, a basement and two courtyards. The top of the 70m high, central tower, with its chiming clock, can be reached by climbing its 180 steps. Consisting primarily of marble and granite, the interior of the building has some nobly furnished rooms, in which the most solemn ceremonies and the usual Municipal Assemblies and Executive meetings are held. Included in the Urban Wine Route, the Porto Municipality used from the outset the income from rates and taxes on wine to improve the city´s defences, water supply, road connections to the outside and urban reforms.

One of the city’s highest view points, from where you can see, besides the city centre, the mouth of the river Douro and the city of Vila Nova de Gaia. Special mention goes to Praça Marquês de Pombal and the church yard. To get to the top you have to climb a magnificent stairway and pass the tower clock machine and its bells.

Situated in the city centre, this street was already known as Rua de Santo António. It owes its name to the historical republican revolt that broke out in Porto in 1891. Nowadays it is an important commercial artery with some examples of art nouveau buildings.

View over the houses extending down to the River Douro, having as background the river side in Vila Nova de Gaia.

The Terreiro da Sé (square), framed by the buildings of the Cathedral, the Chapter House, the Bishop’s Palace and the former City Hall (Casa da Câmara), is the result of the recovery works that took place in 1940, through which several medieval quarters were demolished to give way to an open square, where a stone monument representing local government (pelourinho) was placed in 1945, by the Porto City Council. From this spot one can admire the complete Barredo area, the river Douro and Vila Nova de Gaia.

Cited already in 1389 as being of medieval origin, this square is thought to be one of the oldest in the city. A busy commercial centre, with tents serving as shops and a fish market, it came to the attention of João de Almada e Melo who set out to completely remodel the square in the 18th Century. The works carried out at this time by the Public Works Board, under the influence of John Whitehead, were financed by revenue from wine. Of his original plans, only the sides to the north, with its monumental Praça da Ribeira fountain, and the west were ever completed. The wall to the south was knocked down in 1821 and the medieval buildings along the east side survive to this day. Archaeological work in the 1980s led to the discovery of a 17th Century fountain. Reconstructed in its original location, it was crowned with a sculpture by José Rodrigues known popularly as the “Cube of the Ribeira”. On the 24th of June 2000, a statute of St. John the Baptist by João Cutileiro was unveiled in a niche in the Praça da Ribeira fountain. A must see, with lots of exciting nightlife on offer as well. Included in the Urban Wine Route.

Near the D. Luis I bridge, one can see, besides this one, the Belvedere of the Serra do Pilar and the Cais of Ribeira and of Gaia.

Designed by the engineer Théophile Seyrig, a disciple of Eiffel, it was inaugurated in 1886 and it is composed by two overlapping iron decks. The bridge is 395 metres long and 8 metres wide, and its arch is considered, until 2017, the world’s biggest one in wrought iron. Nowadays the upper deck is used by Greater Porto’s Metro, connecting the Cathedral’s area in Porto to Jardim do Morro and to Avenida da República in Vila Nova de Gaia.

From this location, next to the Infante Bridge, one can enjoy the view over Vila Nova de Gaia, on the other side of the river, and a partial view of the D. Luís I Bridge, a popular spot to watch the São João fireworks.

View over the famous Ponte D. Maria Pia, by Gustave Eiffel, and the São João Bridge, both dedicated to rail transport, although the first is now disabled.

This park, once property of the Reid family, of British origin, was acquired by the Porto City Council in 1932.
