Rua de Santa Catarina, a commercial artery 1500 meters long, is the main commercial center of Porto. This street is absurdly elegant and romantic, with tasteful boutiques, striped stone paths and lively crowds. It is home to the most ornate tea room in Porto, the Art Nouveau Cafe Majestic, and the extraordinary Capela das Almas, decorated with tiles.

You will find most of the international shops, but if you wish to venture into the small alleys on both sides of the street, you will find many traditional shops. You can even try to resist the pâtisseries and mouthwatering with the bread because Portuguese bread is an experience! Go back for more ... Try the "Pérola do Bolhão", a grocery store in Rua Formosa, 279 or Arcadia bakery on Rua do Almada, 63. And while you are in shopping mode, try one of the shoe stores to get something comfortable, because we will take you to various places with this guide!

Next to Rua de Santa Catarina, you will find the Bolhão Market, a typical market absolutely not to be missed! And, of course, the flower market (from April to October) in Praça da Liberdade.
