Beautiful old church in Porto (one of many!) Capela das Almas de Santa Catarina.
The amazing city of Porto, also known as Oporto in English, is located along the Douro river estuary in the North of Portugal and is the second-largest city of the country. Declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996, planning a visit to the historic center of Oporto is the best way to know its origins.

Great location. Everything was within walking distance. Had a bit problem with room temperature the second night. It was central air and it was on heating mode due to the cold weather outside. However, I am used to colder temperatures and had hard time to fall asleep.

Talvez a Estação de São Bento seja a mais bonita estação de caminhos de ferro de Portugal. A vez anterior em que visitei a estação, alguns painéis de azulejos estavam em trabalho de restauro. Nesta última visita verifiquei, com satisfação, que o trabalho tinha sido concluído e pude assim contemplar os painéis em todo o seu esplendor.

Maybe São Bento Station is the most beautiful railway station in Portugal. The previous time I visited the station, some tile panels were in restoration work. On this last visit, I noticed with satisfaction that the work had been completed and I was able to contemplate the panels in all their splendor.

If you're spending time in Sé, check out sights like Praça da Batalha or Porto Cathedral and hop on the metro to see more of the city at Batalha-Guindais Stop or Guindais Funicular.
