Portugal Another Lovely Trip to Portugal! Porto Exploring Vintage Porto Fantastic Views of Porto
Fantastic Views of Porto
Porto is an awe-inspiring city with a breathtaking panorama.
I spent as much time as I could simply admiring the sights from various viewpoints.
One of the best viewpoints is the Ponte Luís I, the terrace-like area near the Paróquia Nossa Senhora da Vitória, the terrace near the Porto Cathedral, others are located in Vila Nova de Gaia, just across the Douro River.
Here's a collection of photos taken from various spots in Porto and Gaia...
(Some of these photos have already been published in my other articles, but many are totally unique).
