EAST PORTO
Being an area that is constantly being renovated every day,
the eastern part of the city is the perfect place or anyone who wants to get
away from the obvious and look for something that is not on the guides.
With a
big extension that takes us from the riverside, with the Freixo Palace, the
marina, the Press Museum and the Quinta Villar d Allen , to the University
Campus, where most of the higher education buildings are located, the eastern
part of the city is undoubtedly an area of constant renewal and a clear example
of what it is like to live in Porto.
A place of arrival and departure, Campanha (the station ) is
undoubtedly the first place that most people see in Porto. This is the perfect
place to start this trip to the Dragao Stadium and the FC Porto Musuem that
impress with its collection of trophies and the technologically advanced and
interactive exhibition.
Nearby you have an alternative place, the Alameda Shop
& Spot, where you can slowly shop or also the Fair of Vandoma that takes place every Saturday
morning at Avenida 25 de Abril.
With a wide range of
green space , in its 4 corners, from Quinta da Bonjoia to Jardim de Arca d
Argua, passing through Sao Roque Park, Quinta do Covelo or Marques de Oliveira
Garden (in Sao Lazaro) , these are perfect places for those who want to wander
or enjoy spaces to practice their physical activities.
It is also in the
eastern zone that you can find a wide variety of galleries and cultural spaces(
Contagiarte, Mira Forum , Olga Santos Galeria , CACE Cultural …….) as well as
some theatres, museums and the Municipal Library of Porto.
