Description

Begin your experience at the stunning São Bento Station, famous for its azulejo-covered walls that narrate Portugal’s rich historical tapestry. Proceed to Praça da Batalha, a lively square steeped in historical significance. From here, step back in time as you visit the Fernandine Walls, remnants of medieval fortifications that once protected the city and still offer sweeping views over the Douro River. Continue toward one of Porto’s hidden baroque masterpieces—the Church and Convent of Santa Clara—a richly adorned interior that captivates with its gold-covered woodwork and spiritual intensity. Next, journey through the Morro da Pena Ventosa, the ancient hilltop where Porto was born. Feel history come alive as you walk through this cradle of the city, where narrow streets and layers of centuries-old stories still echo through the stone. Here you’ll find the majestic Porto Cathedral (Sé do Porto), one of the city’s oldest and most iconic monuments, and the imposing Episcopal Palace, once home to the powerful bishops of Porto, overlooking the Douro with noble grandeur. Your path then leads you into the heart of tradition, through the Barredo, a humble and authentic neighborhood where the spirit of old Porto lives on. Winding alleys and colorful façades eventually open onto the Ribeira, Porto’s vibrant riverside district, filled with charm, life, and postcard-perfect views. The tour concludes at the Praça do Infante Dom Henrique, surrounded by historic landmarks that reflect the city’s maritime and commercial legacy. To finish, enjoy a tasting of traditional Portuguese food and a glass of local wine—the perfect toast to the stories, sights, and soul of Porto.
