Porto Cathedral (Se Catedral)

A Sé Catedral, um dos monumentos mais antigos da cidade, remonta ao século XII, quando o Porto era um dos principais baluartes da Reconquista e da reorganização do território português. Apresenta características de Arte Românica de influência francesa e foi construído por mestres da região de Coimbra. A fachada ostenta um corpo central enquadrado por duas torres, sendo o acesso exterior ao portal feito por escada simétrica cujos vãos da rampa são preenchidos por elementos decorativos; as formas destas esculturas românicas parecem ter inspiração no imaginário céltico da Europa. A rosácea gótica foi aberta no século XIV e o primitivo portal, assim como o remate das torres foram remodelados em 1722 e decorados com as composições barrocas que hoje apresentam. Na ilharga norte, abre-se uma monumental galilé, também barroca, mandada construir em 1776 com base nos planos do arquiteto Nasoni.

Torre dos Clerigos

(Pass by)

No ano de 1753, a pedido da Irmandade dos Clérigos, o arquiteto italiano Nicolau Nasoni apresentou o projeto para uma torre sineira, e em 1754 arrancariam as obras daquela que viria a ser a mais bela e altaneira Torre, dominando toda a paisagem urbana do Porto. Em julho de 1763, com a colocação da cruz de ferro no topo, e a imagem de São Paulo no nicho sobre a porta, deu-se por finalizada a sua construção. As características barrocas que a definem são a expressão máxima da espetacularidade do barroco, onde os motivos típicos deste estilo, dão à torre movimento e beleza. A mais de 75m de altura, depois de subir 225 degraus e chegar ao topo da torre, a vista sobre a cidade deslumbra. Numa perspetiva a 360°, o visitante usufrui de um momento único, quer de dia ou de noite, quando em épocas especiais, a torre abre as suas portas até às 23h00. A Torre dos Clérigos, é incontestavelmente o ex-líbris da cidade, e um excelente miradouro sobre esta.

Ponte de Dom Luis I

(Pass by)

A ponte D. Luis I é a principal ligação entre o Porto e a cidade vizinha de Vila Nova de Gaia. Feita em metal, a ponte mede cerca de 395 metros de comprimento e 8 de largura e divide-se em dois tabuleiros que ligam ambas as partes alta e baixa da cidade. O responsável pela sua construção é Théophile Seyrig, que a contruiu sob ordens do rei Luis I, que lhe dá nome. Seyrig já tinha trabalhado com Gustave Eiffel na ponte D. Maria Pia, e seguiu o estilo arquitectónico do seu mestre. Terminada em 1888, a ponte D. Luis ainda é, hoje em dia, um dos pontos mais emblemáticos da cidade do Porto.

Livraria Lello

A Livraria Lello foi inaugurada no número 144 da rua das carmelitas, o que levou a um grande impacto no meio cultural da época. Grande figuras estiveram presentes na inauguração como Guerra Junqueiro, Abel Botelho, João Grave, Afonso Costa, entre outros. O edifício da livraria, que ainda hoje surpreende, foi concebido pelo engenheiro Xavier Esteves. O objectivo dos irmãos era criar um verdadeiro templo das artes. A Livraria Lello foi considerada a terceira mais bela do mundo em 2008 pelo The Guardian. O guia de viagens Lonely Planet colocou-a no top 3 das livrarias mais belas, e a CNN considerou-a, em 2014, a mais bonita do mundo. JK Rowling, a criadora de Harry Potter morou durante alguns anos no Porto no ínicio da década de 1990. Inpirou o mundo encantado dos filmes de Harry Potter, principalmente as escadas que serviram de inspiração para as escadas de Hogwarts. Bilhete prioritário sem filas incluído no tour, com oferta de um livro.
