Bright buildings, cobblestone streets, and beautiful waterfront spots – keep reading to find out the best Instagram photo spots in Porto!
Dom Luis Bridge
As Porto’s biggest attraction, it would be a shame to not include this bridge on the list of best Instagram photo spots in Porto! It is beautiful from both sides, however we found the best sunset views on the Gaia side!
Foz
I was recommended by a local to visit Foz and it definitely did not disappoint! The picturesque lighthouse and crashing waves makes the perfect background for your next Instagram photo! Located just 15-20 mins outside of the city center, Foz is the perfect place to spend a few hours exploring!
Sao Bento Train Station
The murals inside of this station are what secured the station’s spot on the list of Best Instagram Photo Spots in Porto, but the station itself is quite picturesque as well! Be careful to not get too close to the tracks though, or you may be chased off by the lingering security guards.. oops!

Chapel of Souls
Built in the 18th century, the Chapel of Souls is one of the most beautiful churches, and best photo spots in Porto! The intricate details of the tiles are just incredible.
The Gardens at the Museo Romantico
One of my favorite spots to snap a photo in Porto is in the gardens at the Museo Romantico. It was a bit unclear to us if these gardens were related to the museum or not, but they are located directly next to it! A perfect spot to watch the sunrise and get on of the best photo spots in Porto!
Road to the Bridge
This road that heads down to the lower level of the Dom Luis Bridge is one of the best Instagram photo spots in Porto – and one of the best views of the famous bridge from some angles!
Steps to the Porto Cathedral
While the Porto Cathedral is obviously a gorgeous sight, we found the view from the steps to the Cathedral even more beautiful! There is just something so magical about the tiled rooftops!
As you’ve already seen, there are so many Instagram photo spots in Porto, but you’ll probably find your own as you wander this beautiful city.

Hey! If you are referring to the sunset picture then this spot is super easy to find! Head across the bridge towards the Gaia side. When you reach the end of the (upper level) of the bridge, turn right!
