2. When it comes to things to do in Porto, you
cannot go wrong by visiting the Clerigos Tower,
one of the most iconic features of the city’s
skyline. Get a bird’s eye view of the entire city
from the top or explore its religious history in the
Clerigos Church, a baroque style structure that
dates back to the 18th century. Climbing the 240
steps will be a challenge for serious hikers, but
the view from the top is worth the trek!
4. Casa da Música is the most trendy
concert hall …
Casa da Música was only inaugurated in 2005 but it was
deemed an instant classic. You will want to see this just
after seeing a picture of it. This is a concert hall but it is the
most unique and beautiful concert hall in the world.
Instead of going for a traditional look or a simplistic
modern look the architect Rem Koolhaas went with
something completely new. The building immediately drew
wide acclaim in the world of architecture and was deemed
one of the most important architectural constructs in
recent history. It is the type of building people will be
coming to look at even centuries later. We would highly
recommend putting it on your things to do list.
5. Once you get to the top you will be rewarded with
breathtaking views of tall orange groves lining the way
down to the sparkling river. Plan your trip for the end
of the day and be mesmerized by the stunning sunset
which lights up the rooftops with its fiery embrace.
This can become one of your favorite things to do in
Porto with a single visit as well visiting the beautiful
Serralves gardens.
