Walk across the Ponte Dom Luis II

Walk across the Ponte Dom Luis II.
Not for the faint hearted, this graceful bridge dominates Porto and soars above the river Douro. A walk across the upper deck will provide magnificent panoramas, but hang onto your hat! The Bridges. Look east from this bridge and you will see an equally beautiful structure, designed by Eiffel himself!
Rua 31 de Janeiro

A view down westward Rua 31 de Janeiro, taken from a place close to Rua Santa Catarina. The church tower in the distance, that's Torre dos Clérigos. Don't miss the chance to climb the tower, you'll have a great view over the city.

Thanks to Ana (portgrl) for explaining me ... "Queimas das Fitas" is the students week of celebration at the end of the academic year (first week-end in may). All students are dressed in traditional black clothes and cape and celebrate the end of uni.
It is nice to use a guidebook...

It is nice to use a guidebook that way you can read something about Porto before you travel. When in Porto you will find signs like this next to every monument. The sign is in portugese and english and explains about the monument.
In this case it is the Sao Sebastiao Chapel. It was built by the order of St Augustin and their coat of arms features on the facade.
Estadio das Antas
by vichatherly
The old home of FC Porto.
A huge bowl of a stadium with really bad access to the away section. I know it doesn’t seem to rain much in Portugal but modern stadiums still need to offer some protection to us all weather fans.
I wasn't sad to see the end of it as the new stadium, just down the road, has far better facilities.
