For Christmas time this evening we walk around the Portuguese city of Porto and Coimbra.
Porto in northwest Portugal is known for its port wine and is the second largest city of the country after Lisbon. Coimbra is Portugals former capital and also has a nicely preserved old town.
We start the first evening tour in Porto and walk towards the town hall (Câmara Municipal do Porto) with a large christmas tree and lights. From there we head up north to the church Igreja da Santíssima Trindade and again downhill towards the old town and Douro River. Another section with lights is the Rua de Fernandes Tomás with the Chapel Almas de Santa Catarina where we soon end this walk.
In Coimbra our tour starts near the Mondego River South of the city centre. It’s late already. There are few people left on the streets. We see the Rua Ferreira Borges walking street with nearby churches Igreja de São Tiago and Igreja de Santa Cruz. The lights decorations in the the small streets in the old town.
Some walks during daytime of both cities Porto and Coimbra will be posted sometime soon.
Happy holidays!

26:36 5th edition of the VIArtes Public Art Contest – “THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED” More info here: https://www.viacatarina.pt/en/viartes-2 .. THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED is the winning project of the 5th edition of the VIArtes Public Art Contest. This masterpiece is a sculptural installation comprising twenty-two sculptures. The sculptures are secured by the feet between the windows and the balcony of the building. They represent men, women and children walking, as though mirroring the movement of people along the Rua de Santa Catarina.
All thanks to Paulo Ramunni, the winner of this 5th Edition!
27:42 You switched over to a walk in Combra. The wet streets at night look so glorious! Love how it reflects everything. Another Culture differences, I noticed. How shops close early. Could not be to late, because children are still up and around playing. Here in USA, shops are opened till 10PM (2200) plus later in December. It's all about GREED here in USA. Shop owners wants as much money as they can get here in USA. If not opened all night, they open at 7AM, some as early 5AM in December.
Thank you for sharing another 2 great walks and your excellent description above.
Merry Christmas!
