Avenida dos Aliados
On Avenida dos Aliados, right in front of Porto City Hall, you’ll find the traditional Christmas tree and beautiful illuminations, which add even more sparkle and color to one of the city’s most important areas. Plus, it looks great in photos!
Marcolino Relojeiro
Since 1926, Marcolino has been a benchmark in luxury watchmaking and jewelry, and this year it has revived its tradition by presenting an inviting Christmas decoration on the façade of its buildings in Rua de Santa Catarina and Passos Manuel.
Christmas streetcar
The traditional Christmas Tram not only offers a different experience, but also some of the best Christmas photos.
If you’re interested in taking a ride aboard this vehicle and taking lots of Christmas photos, then you should know that the initiative runs until January 6.
Church of Santo Ildefonso
Located in the Praça da Batalha area, the Church of Santo Ildefonso is surrounded by a scene full of lights.
So one of Porto’s most beautiful churches is even more dazzling at this time of year!
Clérigos Tower
The Clérigos Tower is one of the best places in Porto to take photos at Christmas, but also all year round. This ex-libris of the city hardly looks bad, right?
