Activity itinerary

Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Carmo
  • 10m
Built in the 18th century, the Carmo and Carmelitas Churches are a beautiful example of religious architecture. The guide will share how the church became an important centre of worship and community in the city.
Livraria Lello (Pass by)
We will pass by the famous Lello Bookshop, where the guide will share its fascinating stories. However, we will admire it from the outside, as entry requires a ticket and often involves a long queue.
Torre dos Clerigos (Pass by)
The iconic Clérigos Tower offers breathtaking panoramic views of Porto. Here, we'll pause to admire its remarkable Baroque architecture and, for those interested, savour a traditional "bacalhau cake" (codfish cake). Meanwhile, the guide will share fascinating stories about the tower's history, its architectural significance, and its iconic role in shaping Porto's skyline.
Portuguese Centre of Photography
  • 5m
Located in the historic Perdition Square, the former prison of Porto dates back to the Middle Ages, serving as a place of confinement for centuries. Its imposing stone walls hold stories of justice, punishment, and resilience from a bygone era. Today, this once-feared building has been transformed into the Portuguese Photography Museum, preserving not only striking photographic art but also the echoes of its medieval past.
Jardim da Cordoaria
  • 5m
This garden was once a site for rope and thread production, essential for navigation in the past. During the Middle Ages, rope-making was vital for shipbuilding. The guide will explain the importance of this craft for Porto's trade and maritime life, as well as the traditions that still persist in this space.
Church of Nossa Senhora da Vitória
  • 5m
This church, dating back to the 16th century, is an example of the religious devotion that permeated medieval life. Its architecture and artistic details reflect the faith of the local community and the importance of Our Lady of Victory as the patron saint of Porto's inhabitants.
Miradouro da Vitória
  • 10m
The Vitória Viewpoint offers stunning views of the city and river. This site was once an important defence and observation point during the Middle Ages. The guide will recount the battles fought nearby and the strategic importance of this viewpoint throughout the city's history.
Travessa das Taipas
  • 5m
In this ancient area, you’ll stroll through Porto's characteristic narrow streets, uncovering traces of the city’s Jewish heritage from the Middle Ages. Taipas Alley, a relic of a time when the Jewish community thrived before their expulsion during the Inquisition, holds stories of resilience and cultural richness. Our guide will share insights into Jewish life in Porto and their significant contributions to the city’s cultural and economic legacy.
Rua das Flores
  • 10m
Rua das Flores is one of the most emblematic and charming streets in Porto's historic centre. Along its path, it offers a blend of history, architecture, and culture that reflects the soul of the city. Over the centuries, this street has played a significant role in Porto's social, commercial, and religious life, making it a must-visit spot for both locals and tourists.
Sao Bento Railway Station
  • 10m
We will conclude our tour at the stunning São Bento Train Station, renowned as one of the most beautiful stations in Portugal. Here, our guide will share captivating stories about the intricate azulejos (tiles) that adorn its walls, depicting historical scenes and cultural heritage, making this station a true masterpiece of art and history.
