While the parc is beautiful and greatly situated for a look over the city, we would not recommend going there. It is, as we later found out someone previously wrote in here, a bit of a rough "hangout" - also in broad daylight (we visited around 11 am), and it is not visible from the outside, as it is a beautiful, terraced park with a lot of greenery. But once we we were inside, we witnessed what looked like scouting and drug dealing, and were all of a sudden followed by 4 of the men when they clocked us, as we apparently were a bit out of character for what they thought suitable for the park - it was super uncomfortable! As we were trying to make our way out very fast, in what was a bit of a labyrinth to exit, we saw a lot of teenagers and younger people were hanging around, hidden on the different levels, smoking things and seemingly intoxicated. Although we must note that surprisingly, the area the parc is nice and quiet and does not at all have this problem it seems to be inside the park only.

Interesting historic park on many different levels connected by steps. It's divided into many smaller areas so you occasionally come across courting couple or people sleeping which can feel a bit awkward. Some interesting trees including a huge, old Ginkgo. Views across the river. Entrances from the top on R d A de Alburqueque and also from bottom of ramp beneath Passegio de Virtudes

This park is a hidden gem! If you go to the Passeio das Virtudes you’ll get one of the best sunsets in Porto! The park will be crowded with young people, playing guitar, loads of dogs, such an incredible atmosphere! Strongly recommend it!

It was quite difficult to find the entrance but well worth it, probably about 10 people in the park total in the middle of the day.
Very old park you can see it in historical paintings of Porto, the terraced structure is pretty unique.

Jardim das Virtudes is one of the most beautiful spots in Porto, a bit outside the tourist path, Go there to see the beautiful sunset over the Douro.

The views from this park are lovely. The park isn't easy to get to, but worth the climb. It is built on multi levels.

It took us a while (and a few visits) to find an entrance to the garden. If kept clean, this would certainly be a nice place, worth a visit.
I would recommend to go to the upper part (a bit separately from the main part), where you have a nice overview of the larger part and where (so they say) you can have a nice view of the sunset.
