Stroll along the Pérgola da Foz, a beautiful seaside promenade with sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Douro River estuary. The area is dotted with historic forts, such as the 17th-century Castelo do Queijo, and lively cafés where you can savor a bica (espresso) while watching the waves crash against the rocks. The beaches, like Praia dos Ingleses, are perfect for sunbathing and surfing, while the nearby Jardim do Passeio Alegre provides a lush green escape. Foz is also a culinary hotspot, with seafood restaurants serving fresh grilled fish and the iconic francesinha.
