Cafe World


The Majestic Cafe was opened in the 1920's and hasn't changed much since. The dark red leather seats are well worn but still perfectly comfortable, The tables also seemed original, unlike the famous Bewleys Cafes in Dublin the tables dont wobble!. There are a number of similar cafes in Porto. For those looking for Bars or Public Houses, Porto doesn't have many. Parts of Porto are very run down, some Shops/Offices are in a ruinous state and in need of renovation. Much of the roads, and footpaths have been replaced and perhaps the many ruined buildings will be next. Much of the inner city is a Unesco World Heritage site and perhaps property has to be restored using traditional building and perhaps individuals cant afford expensive renovation or restoration. More to follow
