"Overlooking the Douro River, Porto is one of the most ancient European cities, It was born and developed from the northern bank of this river during the Middle Ages. One of the most significant aspects of Porto and its historical centre is its landscape, combining harmony with the urban structure and presenting a frame of rare beauty. The city was classified as World Heritage by UNESCO in 1996.
When discovering Porto, you will find many surprises. Besides its welcoming and conservative environment, Porto is also contemporany and artistic. This is shown not only in the streets, architecture, monuments and museums but also in the terraces, restaurants and leisure and shopping areas.Overlooking the Douro River, Porto is one of the most ancient European cities, It was born and developed from the northern bank of this river during the Middle Ages.

Hi Ana,
interesting general view on the big Porto. Good details of architecture, fine POV and colours. Good note also. Well done.
Gr., Aleksander

Olá Ana, ora aqui está uma vista original do Porto, diferente da tradicional vista da Ribeira. Excelente uso do muro, para nos levar por aí abaixo ao encontro das pessoas. Grande vista dos monumentos.
Bom fim de semana,
ricardo

Olá Ana,

O que mais gosto da foto é a luz porque no Porto não é fácil conseguir esta luminosidade. O POV é muito bonito mostra um mix de arquitectura. A cor e definição ficaram bem captadas.
Fica bem,
Filipe

Hej Ana,
You found a very good viewpoint for this photo of the city. A nice high point with a good addition of the curved road in front. The light is pleasing too and I like also to see all these many people on the square. Well done!
Regards,
Lars
