What to expect

1

Muralha Fernandina

When you visit Porto, a city with a wonderful old town declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of the essential things to see is the wall that surrounds the old city of Portus Cale.

2

Palacio da Bolsa

The Porto Stock Exchange was the first in Portugal and one of the must-see buildings in the city.

3

Luis I Bridge

On the shores of Oporto, we will still talk of bridges and French invasions, of queens, kings, and princes, of legends and stories, of heroes and cowards.

4

Edificio da Reitoria da Universidade do Porto

This typical bourgeois house with sunny characteristics faces west and offers wide views over the Douro River.

5

Church of Saint Francis

The Church of São Francisco is one of Porto’s most prominent monuments, along with the Cathedral and the Clérigos Church.

6

Casa do Infante

Casa do Infante, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located in the historic center of the city of Porto, which is why we recommend that you include this historic monument as a must-see if you have the opportunity to travel to the Portuguese city of Porto.

7

Igreja e Museu de Sao Francisco do Porto

One of the things that defines the history and character of the Portuguese people is their faith and on our tour, we will see and talk about the church of San Francisco, probably one of the most beautiful churches in Portugal.

8

Miragaia

Miragaia, is one of the tourist neighborhoods of Porto. It is located near the Ribeira, and also adjoins the river, but in ancient times it was outside the wall, being an area of sailors and merchants passing through.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
