Nice photo opportunity that invites us to think about what was selling newspapers in the XIX century and also in the beginning of the XX Century.

I have no idea regarding history of statue but it is an obvious photo opportunity. It is in liberty square which gives you a sense of place.

Nice Statue near MacDonald. take a picture if you are in the area. Municipality keep it clean as it become targeted by Tourists

The Newspaper Vendor Statue on the main square next to the railway station is always the target for the photo-takers. See if you can find it during your visit there.

I wouldn’t go out of my way to find it unless you have some connection to the news industry. But unlike the previous review states the statue is still standing!

Sadly the newspaper vendor statue is no more,I had it as a sight to see and couldn’t work out how I kept missing it. There was a message written in English saying roughly if you can’t respect our culture/heritage then go back to your own...More

This is a quirky statue in the main square. It is something of a tradition in Porto to have your picture taken at the statue.
