What to do
Pick up a takeaway pizza from Gallo Grigio Pizzeria (we went for the pepperoni) and a bottle of wine or some beers from the Auchan supermarket next door, then head across the upper deck of the Dom Luís I Bridge to Jardim do Morro. We arrived around 30 minutes before sunset, which gave us enough time to find a good spot on the grass.

Why it’s here
If you only do one sunset in Porto, make it this one. Jardim do Morro has panoramic views over the Douro River, the Dom Luís I Bridge and Porto’s historic skyline. As the sun goes down, hundreds of people gather on the hillside with food and drinks, creating one of the best atmospheres in the city.

Tip
It gets very busy, especially in summer, so don’t leave it until the last minute. Arrive at least 30 minutes before sunset to grab a good spot, and don’t be surprised if street musicians turn up as the evening goes on – it all adds to the experience.
