The Place

Cais da Ribeira

The historic Cais da Ribeira, in the heart of Porto, spreads from the Ribeira Square, along the banks of the Douro, until the D. Luís bridge.

This area has been the center of the commercial life since the Middle Ages, thanks to its close connection to the River.

It underwent several transformations across the centuries, but even so, many medieval constructions remain to be seen until this day.

With an intimate atmosphere, between narrow roads and ancient houses, this place is full of History and popular charisma.
