What to see in Leixões

Leixões, a coastal gem on Portugal's western edge, enchants with its historic port, golden beaches and vibrant culture. Its maritime heritage is a captivating tale, while its welcoming locals and delectable cuisine make it a must-visit destination. Experience the perfect blend of tradition and modernity in this charming Portuguese town.

Just a short distance from Leixões Port, the Lighthouse of Leça da Palmeira stands as a symbol of both functional design and architectural beauty. Designed by the renowned Portuguese architect Raul Lino, this lighthouse is a masterpiece that has been guiding ships safely along the coast since 1926. As you approach the lighthouse, you'll be struck by its unique and striking appearance. It's constructed with white and black stripes, giving it a distinctive look that sets it apart from other lighthouses. The lighthouse overlooks the dramatic coastline and you can take a leisurely stroll along the promenade to enjoy panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean.

A stone’s throw from Leixões Port, Matosinhos Beach is a haven for sun-seekers, surfers and seafood enthusiasts. This expansive stretch of golden sand is famous for its consistently good waves, making it a favourite spot for surfers of all skill levels. If you're new to surfing, you'll find plenty of surf schools along the beach that offer lessons and equipment rental. Beyond surfing, Matosinhos Beach offers a laid-back atmosphere perfect for relaxation. You can bask in the sun, take a refreshing dip in the Atlantic Ocean or simply stroll along the shoreline, letting the sea breeze invigorate your senses. Families with children will appreciate the calm waters and well-maintained facilities.

Just a short drive or metro ride from Leixões Port, the historic centre of Porto beckons with its rich history, stunning architecture and vibrant culture. Porto, Portugal's second-largest city, is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and wandering through its winding streets is like stepping back in time. Begin your exploration at Ribeira, a picturesque riverside district filled with colourful buildings and bustling cafes. Here, you can stroll along the Douro River, admire the iconic Ribeira Square and cross the double-decker Dom Luís I Bridge for breathtaking views of the city.
