Jardins do Marquês de Pombal is one of the best-known traditional squares in Porto. Located near Rua da Constituição, the gardens offer a green space where locals can sit, meet friends and take a break.

The gardens are named after the Marquês de Pombal, Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, an important Portuguese statesman from the 18th century.

The area has a strong neighbourhood atmosphere and is surrounded by traditional buildings, cafés and local businesses, making it a good place to experience the everyday life of Porto. The square also has a distinctive circular layout, with benches and paths around the central green area.
