Look up at Porto City Hall, the neoclassical landmark anchoring Avenida dos Aliados. Step into the black-marble entrance hall and take in the detail of its clocktower facade.
Full description
Porto City Hall dominates Avenida dos Aliados with a grand, symmetrical neoclassical facade and a tall central clocktower. Inside, a black-marble entrance hall and the clocktower views are the features visitors mention most, and reviewers comment on the sheer amount of detail in the building.
It is free to enter on weekdays, but it closes at the weekend, so timing a visit matters. Many people simply admire the exterior from the avenue, while those who go in spend around 15 minutes.
