Description
A view of the colourful old buildings and orange tiled roofs in the historic La Ribeira district in Oporto / Porto, Portugal. Situated on the steep hillsides on the northern side of the River Douro, the district is full of quaint narrow steets and picturesque houses and also where many of Oporto's most important historic buildings are located. It is part of the Historic Centre of Oporto registered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Many boat tours along the river leave from various docks along the waterfront. In the distance is the Ponte da Arrabida road bridge, the furthest downstream of the city's bridges. The large grey stone building just below and to the right of the bridge is the Palacio da Bolsa, Oporto's stock exchange building.
