[2025 Porto Attraction] Travel Guide for Igreja do Carmo (Updated Apr)

#AustraliaFlightEvent Porto Azulejo is famous for its beauty. That's why there were so many azulejo tiles all over the buildings🩵 I'll introduce you to two of the most beautiful azulejo points that I visited many times during my month-long stay in Porto! 📍(Photo 1-4) Carmo Cathedral / R. do Carmo, 4050-164 Porto, Portugal Carmo Cathedral, which I felt had the most beautiful exterior among the cathedrals in Porto! The cathedral was really big and magnificent. It was a cathedral I visited several times during my trip. I was able to take pretty pictures in front of the side azulejo✨ The admission fee was 5 euros, so it was cheap:) 📍(Photo 5-6) São Bento Train Station São Bento Train Station is considered one of the most beautiful train stations in the world. If you're a tourist to Porto, this is a place you must visit. There are so many people that it can be called the center of Porto. The exterior is beautiful, but the interior azulejos are especially beautiful:) #TravelPlan #OverseasTravel #EuropeTravel #Portugal #Porto #PortoRecommendation #PortoTravel #europetrip #portugal #porto

#EuropeanTravel ㅇ Location: Carmo Cathedral ㅇ Address: R. do Carmo, 4050-164 Porto, Portugal ㅇ Business Hours: 09:00-17:00 ㅇ Rating: 🌟🌟🌟 A cathedral I came across on the way to Lello Bookstore! It wasn't as big as I thought, but the blue walls were a photo zone! People were lining up to take pictures ㅎㅎㅎ It was a Baroque cathedral, and the interior was pretty nice to look at, but it was so small that I recommend not going in and just taking pictures outside🙂

Porto and Lisbon are such beautiful cities, like a masterpiece. I visited in early November, but it was a place with warm sunlight. Wearing short sleeves and sunglasses is a must! You must eat at least one egg tart nata a day. #Overseas travel #Porto

#DecemberTravelSupportEvent The Camur Cathedral, or Bon Jesus do Mont Cathedral, is an incredibly beautiful Baroque building located in Braga, Portugal. More than just a cathedral, it is a place that seems to have come out of a fairy tale, with magnificent staircases and artistic sculptures. The elaborate marble staircase leading up to the cathedral entrance is photogenic, and when you climb to the top, you will be rewarded with a panoramic view of the entire city of Braga. Once inside, you will be amazed by the magnificent ceiling decorations and intricate details. If you are planning a trip to northern Portugal, the Camur Cathedral is a must-see, not just a stop, but a place to take your time and appreciate. You will regret not missing it!

#December Travel Support Event I visited the Carmo Cathedral in Porto, and the blue azulejo tiles decorating the exterior walls were truly beautiful. The delicate tile paintings captured the history of the cathedral and were eye-catching, and the sunlight reflecting off of them was even more impressive. The interior was magnificent yet quiet, and the Gothic and Baroque styles harmonized to create a unique charm. The photos taken in the narrow alleys between the cathedrals were also great, and it was a place where I could fully experience the charm of Porto.

#TrainTravel2024 About 3 hours by train from Lisbon. Porto, a world heritage city that can be visited on a day trip by high-speed train. 🚃How to get there from Lisbon🚃I took the CP - Comboios de Portugal train from Santa Apolónia Station in Lisbon to Campanha Station, then took a taxi to Cafe Majestic. After taking a break at the cafe, I went on a tour of the azulejos🎵⚠️You can buy CP train tickets in advance, so I recommend buying them online in advance! It's really difficult to buy tickets on site😓 Porto has many buildings decorated with cute white and blue azulejo tiles! Here are some azulejo-patterned buildings that I actually saw in one day🎵You can go around them all on foot🎵Recommended course: Almas Cathedral → São Bento Station → Santo Indefonso Church → Carmo ChurchTransportation: WalkingEstimated cost: 0 yen because I only saw the exterior! Tips for walking✅There are many slopes, so the route is important! The basic approach is to walk from north to south. ✅Just walk. Also, the cobblestones in Portugal are difficult to walk on, so I recommend wearing shoes that are easy to walk in, such as sneakers. I tried it with recovery sandals😂📍Almas CathedralAddress: R. de Santa Catarina 428, 4000-124 Porto, PortugalRecommended point: The exterior is cute🩷, so it's free if you just want to see the exterior! 📍Santo Indefonso ChurchAddress: Praça da Batalha s/n, 4000-101 Porto, Portugal📍Sao Bento StationAddress: Praça de Almeida Garrett, 4000-069 Porto, PortugalRecommended point: You can walk to the main tourist sites from this station, so it is recommended to come here by train and walk from there📍Carmo ChurchAddress: R. do Carmo, 4050-164 Porto, Portugal #100 Travel Style #Portugal #Porto #Azulejos

#EuropeanTravel #Porto #CarmoCathedral #Portugal When you pass the square in front of the Clérigos Tower, you will see the Carmo Cathedral right away. The Carmo Cathedral is also called Nossa Senhora do Carmo. The cathedral, which combines Baroque and Rococo styles, was started in 1756 by the architect Jose Figueiredo and was completed in 1768. The front façade has a sculpture of Santa Ana, and the sides are lined with large azulejo panels suggesting Carmel and Mount Carmel. The work was done by Silvestre Silvestri, and the paintings were painted by Carlos Branco. The tile work is said to have been done in 1912 at the Senhora do Alam, Torringha factory in Vila Nova de Gaia. There is a beautiful chapel space decorated with gold inside.

#ChristmasDestinations After visiting the University of Porto, you can go directly to the Carmo Church opposite. The main exterior wall on the front is plain, but the traditional blue and white tiles on the side are very beautiful, and the seemingly integrated building is divided into two parts. On the left is the Carmelite Church (Igreja dos Carmelitas), built between 1616 and 1628, while the tiled wall on the right is more ornate, built between 1756 and 1768. Since it was not allowed to build two churches on the same site at that time, an extremely narrow house was built between the two churches to separate them, with a width of about 1.5 meters. You can visit but there is a fee. It’s good to go during Christmas or the next festival!
