The very modern church towers over the city. Along with the rest of the complex on the hill, it's worth seeing.

Fascinating landscape. The entire complex is beautifully designed, and everything is connected by paths between the stones (which look like oversized pebbles). The entire area is easily accessible by cable car and offers excellent dining options. There are restaurants and cafés to suit every taste. But there are also plenty of benches and tables among the stones for enjoying your own picnic.

A beautiful paved hiking trail for the whole family. Also accessible with a stroller.

Very tastefully designed, not overdone

The Vizela River Walkways are a linear round-trip route approximately 11.4 km long (5.7 km each way) that allows you to walk along the banks of the Vizela River and Ribeira de Sá. This route is of low difficulty, taking approximately 3h01 to walk, and is suitable for family experiences and also adapted for people with reduced mobility, as there are very few steps along the entire route. Inaugurated on March 16, 2024, these new walkways begin next to the Roman Bridge, in the Maquias area, and continue under the D. Luís I Bridge, towards the Parque das Termas and the riverside promenade. At the confluence of the Ribeira de Sá with the Vizela River, the path heads south, along the bank of the stream, and enters the parish of Santa Eulália, one of the most interesting parts of the route. The walk ends at the incredible Rompecias Waterfall, also known as the Requeixos Waterfalls.

Thoroughly impressive complex run by the Benedictine monks from 1041 to 1834, when all the religious orders in Portugal were dissolved. From the original Romanesque church only the front portal survives, the rest was reconstructed and expanded many times during the Gothic, Baroque and Neoclassical periods. Perhaps the most surprising element is the incomplete cloister accessible by stepping through the door to the right of the church. https://www.rotadoromanico.com/en/Monuments/monastery-of-saint-mary-of-pombeiro/

Great picnic options can be found everywhere. It's fun to wander through the labyrinth of rocks and stairs.

The plans for the building were drawn up by the Portuguese architect José Marques da Silva. Work began on August 6, 1930. Marques da Silva broke with traditional forms of church construction in Portugal and heavily influenced the Art Deco style of the 1930s. Locally sourced granite was used almost exclusively in the construction. During construction, a fire broke out on February 4, 1939, which destroyed an image of the Immaculate Conception and a carving crowning the main altar. This delayed the completion of the church. The church was consecrated on September 14, 1947, without the architect present, who had died three months earlier.
