Top Instagrammable Places

Capela das Almas

Porto Is The Third Most Popular UNESCO Heritage Site On Instagram porto Porto Is The Third Most Popular UNESCO Heritage Site On Instagram 1 DSCF0031 e1567086929865

Rua de Santa Catarina, 428

Probably, the most famous facade in Porto. Perhaps one of the most beautiful churches in the city of Porto, also known as Santa Catarina Chapel, is located on the corner between Santa Catarina and Fernandes Tomás Streets, in downtown Porto, Portugal. This chapel, built in the first half of the 18th century, is a religious building with very simple features, but of rare artistic beauty. It is made up of two bodies, the second of which is of lower height and was the subject of restoration and enlargement during the year 1801, which modified many of its original features.

Igreja do Carmo

Rua do Carmo

Another Instagram-worthy facade in Porto is the one from Igreja do Carmo: it’s tile paradise! The Carmo Church, built in the eighteenth century, is one of the most notable buildings of the Porto rococo and its facade has a precious panel of tiles. The church’s front, much lusher and luxurious than that of the Carmelite neighbours (of which it is separated by a very slender, unadorned stone body with only a small door and two windows), is distinctly rococo in taste and splits up. on three floors.

Livraria Lello

Rua das Carmelitas, 144

Another must in Porto is Livraria Lello. It’s supposed to be the library that inspired J.K.Rowling to create Harry Potter’s universe and it’s always full of visitors, so if you’re planning on visiting, bring a bag of patience. 

Kitties Rock – Sunset Spot

Nearby Rua de Cabo Simao

This place is just awesome. It’s a bit tricky to find, as it’s at the top of a huge rock somewhere near Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar.  I’ve called this place Kitties Rock because there’s a cat colony right there. I’m happy that someone is taking care of them! They have little houses, blankets, water and food and plus, one of the best sunset views in Porto.

Candyland

Largo da Pena Ventosa

Porto is not just about tiles and miradouros (that’s how viewpoints are called in Portuguese). Get lost in its beautiful alleys, especially at Ribeira district. It’s a colourful playground for photographers! That’s why I called it Candyland.

Pérgola da Foz do Douro

Porto Is The Third Most Popular UNESCO Heritage Site On Instagram porto Porto Is The Third Most Popular UNESCO Heritage Site On Instagram 8643649 e1567085883306


Av. do Brasil, 694

My favourite side of Porto – especially during summer! Most of the tourists just miss the seaside of Porto, Foz do Douro. Don’t make the same mistake!

Farol das Felgueiras

Jardim do Passeio Alegre

One of my favourite places in Foz do Douro, where you can feel the power of nature.

Steak’n’Shake

Praça de Guilherme Gomes Fernandes, 67

Here we love buildings come to life with art. This panel was designed and painted by Joana Vasconcelos and is amazing. 

Torel Avantgarde – Hotel Restaurant  

Porto Is The Third Most Popular UNESCO Heritage Site On Instagram porto Porto Is The Third Most Popular UNESCO Heritage Site On Instagram image 2 2 e1567086350510

The hotel opened in September last year, and in just a few weeks, took Instagram by storm, probably becoming the most photographed venue of the year. Not the hotel in itself, but its famous “Flower Corridor”, which is actually a room people go through to reach the bar and restaurant, where the ceiling is adorned with flower stalactites of a million colours, in perfect harmony with the red sofas, tempting us to spend the afternoon reading a book or having a drink, perhaps even before sitting down for a memorable dinner at Digby, another extremely photogenic venue. From the pool, with a view over the river, you can also capture one of the best postcards of the old town.
