Massarelos sits on the slope between the centre and Foz, facing the river. Its landmark is the Crystal Palace gardens, a terraced park with wide views over the Douro and the domed Super Bock Arena at its centre.
Down on the bank, the old tram depot houses the Tram Museum, and the Arrábida Bridge of 1963 spans the river in a single concrete arch. Up the hill, the Campo Alegre area holds several university faculties, so students, academics and long-established families share the quarter.
The historic trams still serve it: line 1 along the river and line 18 up to Carmo. Buses along Rua de Dom Manuel II and Campo Alegre connect to the centre and Boavista in about ten minutes.
