Description

Buckle up: you are about to get to know a very old town which is older than the country itself. And the best way to explore this city is by walking. The old town of Porto can be a true maze for beginners, and that's why want to guide you to that you can feel the vibe of the old charming districts. This is the true definition of “slow travel”. We will start this tour right in front of one of the many landmarks of this city: the 'Lion's Square' ('Praça dos Leões', officially named Praça de Gomes Teixeira). From here we're going to the most visited house in Porto the Lello/”Harry Potter” bookshop. I will explain why almost everybody falls in love with this fabulous building and why it is the most Instagram-able hotpot ointhe city. From here we’ll walk through other city landmarks (São Bento station, the Twin Churches, the Cathedral, etc.), the numerous quiet side lanes, lookout spots, and peek into small streets smelling like cod or tripes – yes you read it well!), find out more about local cafes and shops attended by the locals – to sum it up: I want you to enjoy the city through the eyes of a Portuense (Porto local). We’ll end the tour in one of the most popular districts of the city with its café terraces and picturesque corners: the Ribeira. Here we’ll have the chance to contemplate the iconic Louis bridge.
