Flores street, Medieval commercial street in central Porto, Portugal.
Flores Street runs from São Bento Station to São Domingos Square and displays buildings with traditional Portuguese architectural elements and decorative tiles from different periods. The narrow, paved lane is lined with restaurants, cafes, and shops that create an active shopping and dining experience.
This passage was ordered by King Manuel I in 1521 and built on land owned by the bishop to connect São Domingos and the medieval wall. This foundation linked two important points in Renaissance Porto.
The street keeps its role as a commercial hub through jewelry shops, design boutiques, and food stores selling regional products that reflect the area's heritage. These businesses attract both locals and visitors looking for authentic Portuguese goods.
The pedestrian zone sits about one minute on foot from São Bento Station and is easy to reach when coming from the rail hub. Restaurants, cafes, and shops accept card payments and typically stay open until late evening.
An 18th-century mansion was transformed into the Flores Hotel & Spa, while the nearby Misericórdia Church from 1521 stands just steps away. This side-by-side mix of converted heritage shows how the street adapted its buildings over the centuries.
