Gardens of Casa Tait
About

The Gardens of Casa Tait offer one of Porto’s most peaceful and romantic green spaces, set on a hillside overlooking the Douro River. Once part of a private 19th‑century estate, the gardens blend winding paths, shaded terraces and elegant viewpoints that reveal sweeping panoramas of the city. Visitors can stroll among exotic trees, manicured lawns and seasonal flowerbeds that reflect the tastes of the era’s landscape design. The historic house, though not always open to the public, adds charm to the setting with its classical architecture. Quiet corners, benches and scenic overlooks make the gardens a favourite retreat for locals seeking calm away from the urban rhythm. With their serene atmosphere and beautiful river views, the Gardens of Casa Tait offer a timeless escape in the heart of Porto.
