You will, indeed, need to endure a few flights of steps but, it is worth it. You can take our word for it.

Behind Instituto Português de Fotografia (Portuguese Institute for Photography), in Cordoria, is the S. Bento da Vitória street, which leads us to the viewpoint of Vitória. This is one of the places we recommend, as it shows amazing landscapes of part of the city and it is open to the public, free of charge. From there you can see Vila Nova de Gaia, the Douro River, all the bridges, Porto’s Cathedral and hundreds of the city’s typical houses. It is obviously a great place for snapshots.
