Ribeira, the medieval quarter is the heart of the city, explore the area there is plenty to see from the Palacio da Bolsa (Stock Exchange Building), the Franciso Church and the Edificio da Alfandega (the old Customs Building) and lots more.

The best areas for shopping are the streets leading off Avenida dos Aliados: to the west Rua da Fabrica for stationers and bookshops and Rua de Passos Manuel and into Rua de Santa Catarina for fashion shops and jewellers to the east. The Bolhao market area northeast of Aliados is also a busy shopping area.
