Rua de Miguel Bombarda. Lined with galleries, second-hand shops and cool cafés, this street is at the centre of a burgeoning art district. Just a 15-minute walk from the waterside Ribeira district and cool places to stay, it also makes a great base for a laid-back autumn city break.
Spend an afternoon ducking in and out of the contemporary art galleries around Bombarda. Look out for inaugurações simultâneas when new exhibitions are launched, shops open late and there’s often free music and street entertainment Centro Comercial Bombarda is a shopping mall with no chain stores, just dozens of independent shops selling everything from vintage clothing to vinyl (Rua de Miguel Bombarda 285). Walk through the Palácio de Cristal gardens for panoramic views over the Douro river.
