Garden sights in Porto

  1. A

    Jardim Do Palácio de Cristal

    Sitting atop bluffs just west of Porto’s old centre, the leafy Jardim do Palácio de Cristal is home to a domed sports pavilion, the hi-tech Biblioteca Municipal Almeida Garrett and pleasant tree-lined footpaths with fantastic river views.

  2. B

    Jardim da Cordoaria

    Uphill from Aliados and past the Torre dos Clérigos lies the pleasantly leafy Jardim da Cordoaria (shortened to 'Cordoaria'). Architecture buffs will want to check out the Hospital Geral de Santo António, whose neo-Palladian façade recalls an Oxfordshire manor house.
