The Neighborhood:
One of the most iconic and traditional neighborhoods of Porto - Guindais do Porto!
"It's that postcard from Porto that will never run out of time. Nestled in the heart of the Sé, between the D. Luís Bridge, the Guindais stairs, the Fernandina Wall and pilgrimage site for many people in São João. It is the ideal place to start planning the weekends, legs outstretched looking at the city. Like any self-respecting neighborhood community, you may head to the local Guindalense Futebol Club for a beer or a great snack enjoying it's amazing views."
Besides, there are plenty of restaurants close by right at the Praça da Batalha or Poveiros Square. Avenida dos Aliados, São Bento station and Clérigos tower are just a few minutes away walking distance. The famous Luis I bridge is just around the corner :)!
Ribeira square will take 10 minutes on foot to get there.
