    Best viewpoint

    Probably the best view on the city from here. At the same time you can admire the monastery to which this outlook belongs.

    Well worthwhile

    The climb in Porto is strenuous but the cable car takes you effortlessly from river level to the top of Gaia. The views on the way up and at the top are fabulous. Once at the top you can walk across the high level bridge...More

    Absolutely the best views in Porto

    This monastery viewpoint has even more spectacular views than the upper deck of the bridge. From here you can see both the bridge and the old Ribeira district in the same view.

    Breathtaking Landscape

    It is a breathtaking landscape. The Douro River joining Vila Nova de Gaia and Porto is one of the wonders of Northern Portugal. Great place to take pictures

    Sunset in Porto

    Visiting Porto and not going to Serra do Pilar is like going to Paris without going to the Eiffel Tower. This is a must to visit specially by the end of the day to enjoy the view from Porto and the Sunset. Priceless...
