Avenida dos Aliados

4.6 ·

Walk Avenida dos Aliados, the boulevard at the heart of Porto's centre. Take in the City Hall at the top, the ornate facades along both sides and the open plaza that fills up during local events.

📖

Full description

Avenida dos Aliados is the monumental central avenue of Porto, lined with imposing buildings in a mix of architectural styles and anchored at its top end by the City Hall. Because the street runs along a slope, the view opens both up and down its length, which makes it a natural photo spot.

The wide plaza hosts public events, and visitors mention a lively atmosphere during the Christmas celebrations. It is a short, free stop that works as an orientation point in the city centre rather than a place to spend long.

Reviews

Through the end of the avenue, the statue is under reconstruction nowadays. Other than that, it is beautiful, especially if you’re looking over the City Hall of Porto.
