São Bento Railway Station (Estação de São Bento), is gorgeous with it’s azulejo tilework. It shows scenes from Portuguese history, culture, and transportation. It is still used as a transportation hub since the early 20th century.
One of the most notable cemeteries in Porto is the Cemitério do Prado do Repouso, or simply Prado do Repouso Cemetery. Established in the 19th century, this historic cemetery is located in the heart of Porto and is renowned for its architectural beauty, serene atmosphere, and historical significance. Many prominent people are buried here.
Located in the heart of Porto’s historic center, the Majestic Café has served as a gathering place for intellectuals, artists, and writers over the years, earning its reputation as a cultural landmark. JK Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter here.
And of course we had to have Portuguese egg tarts k own as pastéis de nata, are a delicious and iconic pastry originating from here. These breakfast treats consist of a flaky, buttery pastry crust filled with a creamy custard made from egg yolks, sugar, milk, and a hint of vanilla. What sets Portuguese egg tarts apart is their unique texture – a crispy exterior with the smooth, rich custard filling then dusted with cinnamon.
And this was an interesting way to get street donations.
