Wander into Jardim do Passeio Alegre, a peaceful 19th-century garden on the Douro in Foz. Admire the old fountain, find a shady bench, and enjoy views over the river mouth.

📖

Full description

Jardim do Passeio Alegre sits between a busy thoroughfare and the Douro in the Foz district, a landscaped garden dating from the 1800s. Its features include a Franciscan convent, an ornate fountain and a restroom decorated with Art Nouveau tiles.

Visitors describe it as a relatively quiet, shady place to sit, people-watch and look out over the river. Because Foz lies outside the centre and takes time to reach, it suits travellers with more than a couple of days in Porto.

Reviews

Its a nice area with a beautiful park, beach and many restaurants/bars. However, if you only have 1 or 2 days in Porto I wouldn’t recommend coming here as it takes a long time with the tram from the city center and there are much more interesting things there.
