A must-see while in Porto is the São Bento Railway Station. More than just a train station, this place is another architectural jewel, among the many others this city boasts. Built by the Portuguese architect José Marques da Silva in 1900, the São Bento Railway Station opened to the public sixteen years later. Its construction took place on the site that once housed a Benedictine monastery, hence the name São Bento. The architecture has a French Renaissance influence, and even though its facade is already quite impressive, its interior is what leaves visitors truly awestruck. The main hall is beautifully decorated–from the ground to the ceiling — with more than 20,000 "azulejos" (Portuguese tiles), which recount important events of the history of Portugal.

Kretsloppshuset provides an eco-friendly experience and educational facility with a winter garden, rose cultivation, garden park, traditional henhouse, café and restaurant, slide shows, lectures and courses, as well as sales of environmentally friendly produced goods in an old-fashioned shop.

New Orleans ferries offer a fantastic way to explore the city while enjoying stunning waterfront views. The ferry system is one of the busiest in the nation, with the Canal Street ferry alone making over two million trips annually. Adding to their appeal, ferry rides are free for pedestrians, making them an even more attractive option for sightseeing.
