- Kateryna A. 2 contributions. We loved the view! Thank you, Rita! I've got an idea to go there with tourists that came from Egipt, Germany and USA and wanted to see Porto and surrounding areas.
- JimFinPortland. Seattle, WA 161 contributions. Small (but nice) zoo in Porto suburbs. My wife and I were looking for a zoo in the Porto area. There are apparently several smaller facilities scattered about the area but no larger main zoo.
- Mario A. Maia, Portugal 35 contributions. A piece of history. Very old church rebuilted in 1097, mostly romanic style. You should also visit the cemitery. Outside the church there are some old graves.
- Gaborstephen. Venice, CA9 contributions. Hidden oasis behind large gates. We feel very fortunate to have been able to stay at Quinta de Santa Cruz. It’s a veritable oasis hidden behind the large gates.
- Zoo da Maia. Sure to get a thumbs up from youngsters, Maia’s zoo is what attracts most day-trippers to the city. Although there are mammals as varied as tigers, brown bears, zebras, capybaras and wallabies, the zoo is best known for its cold-blooded animals: There are more species of reptile here than at any other attraction in the country.
- Santuário de Nossa Senhora do Bom Despacho. This dainty Baroque church dates to 1742 and is photo–worthy both inside and out. It’s spectacular on a sunny day, as the facade is clad with blue and white tiles and looks amazing against a clear sky.
- Fórum da Maia. If something cultural is happening in Maia you can be sure that it will be at this immense concert hall, which was unveiled back in 1991.
- Mosteiro de Leça do Balio. From afar you could easily mistake this medieval monastic church for a castle. It has a square, crenellated tower with pointed merlons and arrow loops and only a few narrow openings in its walls.
