What to expect

1

Palacio da Bolsa

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

2

Church of Saint Francis

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.

3

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.

4

Praca Da Ribeira

Sitting on the banks of the Douro River, the Ribeira Square boasts one of the oldest squares in Porto and one of the liveliest areas of the city.

5

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.

6

Vila Nova de Gaia

Vila Nova de Gaia, although it is not Porto, cannot be understood without the other, and we will put this great unknown of Portugal in its rightful place.

7

Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar

We will talk about the Monastery of Nuestra Señora de la Sierra del Pilar, which is a World Heritage Site.

8

Convento Corpus Christi

We will see something current, modern, and controversial such as urban art in contrast with something classic, traditional, and full of legends such as the Corpus Christi convent.

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