Overview

This tour starts in the square of Henry the Navigator, also known as the Infante of Sagres, the seed of imperial Portugal and the most beloved infante of Oporto, since he was born here, we will see his house and tell his storey, fundamental to understand that Portugal occupied 4 continents.

We will go into Ribeira and Barredo, the oldest areas of Porto, we will see what they were, what they are, and what they will be.
We will talk about how the medieval city functioned, its walls, gates, and posts, the old customs, and above all the importance of the Douro, since like so many other great cities, Porto was born on the banks of this great river.

And we leave for the end, the best known of both shores which is, obviously, Port Wine, we will explain why it is neither wine nor Port Wine in a small winery where the tour will end.

Our tour will be full of recommendations of where to eat, drink, see the best sunsets, and have a good time.

Activity itinerary

Palacio da Bolsa (Pass by)
The Porto Stock Exchange was the first in Portugal and one of the must-see buildings in the city.
Church of Saint Francis (Pass by)
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.
Casa do Infante (Pass by)
Casa do Infante, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located in the historic centre 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.
Ribeira Square (Pass by)
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.
Ponte de Dom Luis I (Pass by)
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.
Vila Nova de Gaia (Pass by)
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.
Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar (Pass by)
We will talk about the Monastery of Nuestra Señora de la Sierra del Pilar, which is a World Heritage Site.
Convento Corpus Christi (Pass by)
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.
