Beautiful architecture with singular design and location. It provides great top views of Douro river, Porto downtown and Dom Luís I bridge

A beautiful example of religious architecture, embracing the convent, the church and cloister, in circular plan. It's located close to the upper platform of D. Luís Bridge in Vila Nova de Gaia. In 1996, the Historic Centre of Porto was classified UNESCO World Heritage site, also including this Monastery

The famous postcard view from Porto is here. You can not come to Porto and miss it..

Excellent ride from the Sé Cathedral on the upper deck of the bridge D. Luis to the Monastery of Serra do Pilar. There you can enjoy the most beautiful sunset and the best views of the city of Porto.
