Things to do in Porto, Northern Portugal: The Best Fountains
The town that gave the country (and port wine) its very name, Porto is Portugal’s second-largest metropolis after Lisbon. Sometimes called Oporto, it's an age-old city that has one foot firmly in the industrial present. The old town, centered at Ribeira, was built on the hills overlooking the Douro River, and today is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 14th-century São Francisco church is a main attraction, as are the local port wine cellars, mostly located across the river at Vila Nova de Gaia.

Beautiful fountain in a very well located spot in the city. The monumental Lions Fountain was built around 1887 by the Compagnie Generale des Eaux pour l'Etranger. This fountain is one of the most beautiful in all of Porto. It is a truly wonderful place that invites you to relax. I strongly recommend that you visit it as it is surrounded by many other things worth seeing.
