Itinerary

Join us on a walking tour of Porto, where we'll discover some off-the-beaten-path places and picturesque streets of the city. On this exclusive walking tour through the streets of the historic centre of Porto, classified as World Heritage by UNESCO since 1996, you will explore this beautiful city “perched” over the river, made of old houses that seem to pile up on each other and stretching from the river to the sea. Stroll past ancient palaces, old churches, emblematic neighbourhoods, true locals, and the most picturesque alleys the city has to offer. Admire the emblematic iron bridge designed by Teófilo Seyrig, apprentice of Gustave Eiffel. Your local storytelling guide will introduce you to the famous Port Wine cellars and the iconic Rabelo boats lined along the pier, keeping alive the memory of when they transported wine barrels along the Douro river to Porto.

The Walking Tour of Porto also takes you to visit the Porto Cathedral, located in the heart of the historic city and one of Portugal’s oldest monuments rich in history. Step inside São Bento train station, famous for its grand atrium adorned with twenty thousand pictorial tiles by Jorge Colaço depicting Portuguese history and ethnographic scenes. Walk down Aliados Avenue, the city’s main avenue, lined with Art Nouveau and Art Deco façades, ending with the Intercontinental Hotel at one end and the City Hall at the other. Stroll along Cândido dos Reis and Galerias Paris streets, lively at night with cafés, bars, and discos, but equally worth visiting during the day for their art deco and art nouveau façades. Explore the world-renowned Lello Bookstore, celebrated for its stunning staircases and recognised as one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world.

Pause at Gomes Teixeira Square, locally known as Lions Square, with its artistic fountain and sculptures of winged lions, named after the illustrious mathematician and first governor of Porto University. Marvel at the Clérigos Tower, the city’s ex-libris and the most iconic work of Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni. From the Vitória viewpoint in the heart of the old Jewish quarter, enjoy panoramic views of Porto’s historic centre, the two-level bridge, and Vila Nova de Gaia. Continue to Infante D. Henrique Square to see the neoclassical Bolsa Palace and the emblematic iron-architecture Mercado Ferreira Borges. End the Walking Tour of Porto at Ribeira, one of Porto’s oldest and most traditional areas, where you can relax by the Douro River, enjoy the breathtaking views of Vila Nova de Gaia, sip a glass of Port wine, and soak in the city’s vibrant atmosphere until sunset.
