Our Greatest of Porto tour blends the city’s essentials into one best-of sampler. Walk lively markets, a hilltop tower with far-reaching views, a double-deck river bridge, a tile-filled station and a waterfront square that still celebrates. It’s a curated mix of faith, craft and everyday life — the best of Porto’s stories in a single, walkable loop beside the Douro.
Highlights
Bolhão Market — century-old ironwork market; feel the shouts, scents and everyday rhythm of Porto’s food halls.
Church of São Francisco — Gothic stone outside, gilded wood within; learn how monks, merchants and catacombs shaped the city’s faith.
Clérigos Tower and Church — 75-meter baroque landmark; climb for sweeping city views or listen for the bells that once guided sailors home.
Dom Luís I Bridge — 1886 double-deck iron span by an Eiffel partner; cross for the classic river panorama of Porto and Gaia.
Livraria Lello — 1906 bookshop of carved wood and stained glass; a shrine for readers and a showcase of local craftsmanship.
Majestic Café — 1920s art nouveau salon; sip where generations of thinkers met beneath mirrors and chandeliers.
Palácio da Bolsa — neoclassical exchange palace; step into the glittering Arab Room where trade and royalty met.
Ribeira Square — medieval riverfront hub; stand where merchants rolled barrels to the Douro and festivals still light the water.
Rua das Flores — elegant sixteenth-century street; balconies, small bars and legends of music, romance and late-night perfume.
São Bento Station — blue-and-white tile murals; Portugal’s history painted across a grand railway hall.
Sé Cathedral — fortress-like hilltop church; cloister tiles and terrace views that tie belief to sea and trade.
All this, plus additional "hidden gems," expertly brought to life through our virtual guides....with rich, vivid history, local stories, and unmatched knowledge you will not find elsewhere. Even better, no tipping required!
