Bonfim showcases Porto’s urban side. Ideal for lovers of architecture and art.
In this neighbourhood, you’ll get a taste of Porto’s urban side. Here you’ll find the city’s main shopping street, Rua Santa Catarina, as well as the Mercado do Bolhão, where you’ll find plenty of typical Portuguese shops such as shoe shops and patisseries. A little further from the centre lies a park where elderly men sit playing cards all day long: Jardim de São Lázaro. Around Poveiros, you’ll find plenty of vintage shops alongside trendy cafés. Thanks to the Faculdade das Belas Artes and the scene at venues such as Maus Hábitos, Bonfim is an area where Porto’s artists love to meet up.
