    There were so many people, the bookstore was beautiful, and it was so difficult to take pictures. I originally wanted to buy a book to take home as a souvenir, but I thought my bag was too heavy, so I had to give up. The cheapest book cost 16 euros, but the ticket price can be deducted, so I just visited it.

    Porto Cathedral, one of the oldest religious buildings in Porto, was built in the 12th century and completed after a century. It combines Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque architectural styles and is now a core part of Porto's World Cultural Heritage. The church is located on the hill on the north bank of the Douro River, where you can enjoy the panoramic view of the city and the river at the same time. It is beautiful.

    Portugal-Porto-São Bento Station São Bento Station is a century-old railway station in Porto, Portugal, known as "one of the most beautiful railway stations in the world". It is not only a transportation hub, but also a palace that integrates history, art and culture. The most shocking thing is the 20,000 blue and white tile murals in the station hall, which took Portuguese artist Jorge Colaço 11 years to complete, depicting Portugal's historical events, rural scenery and traditional life scenes. Each painting tells the story of this country.

    Portugal - Porto - Church of the Holy Spirit The poetry of blue and white porcelain and the purity of faith The Church of the Holy Spirit (Capela das Almas) in Porto is famous for its iconic blue and white porcelain facade and is an artistic treasure that cannot be ignored in the old town of Porto. Although the church was built in the early 20th century, it carries the historical and cultural memory of Portugal in the 18th century tile art style. The Church of the Holy Spirit with a blue and white porcelain facade is inlaid with 11,000 blue and white tiles. These tiles are painted with 18th-century techniques and depict the life of saints and religious scenes. The tiles in the sun have a cold blue and white luster, which contrasts sharply with the red tile roofs of the old town of Porto, like a flowing religious painting.

    The view from here is amazing! You can view it from both under and above the bridge, and both offer different views so I recommend it. I especially recommend taking the metro to the top to enjoy the view!

    Portugal - Porto - Church of Santo Ildefonso, the time and space echo of Baroque art The Church of Santo Ildefonso (Igreja de Santo Ildefonso) is a Baroque church in Porto, Portugal, famous for its complex facade decoration and profound historical and cultural heritage. The most eye-catching feature of the Church of Santo Ildefonso is its blue and white tile facade, which is made of traditional Portuguese tiles and depicts the life and religious scenes of Santo Ildefonso. These tiles have a cold blue and white luster in the sun, which contrasts with the Baroque sculptures on the top of the church - the complex scroll patterns, angel statues and religious symbols are intertwined, showing the ultimate pursuit of dynamics and decorativeness in Baroque art.

    [Taste] The taste and appearance are very good. I especially like Ma Jiexiu in picture 2⃣️ [Environment] There are queues at the restaurant all day long, but the dining chairs inside are all made of leather carving craftsmanship. It is a restaurant that is close to a century old. [Service] The attitude of the waiters is very good
