Overview
This is a tour for those who want to discover the best of Porto. An authentic introduction to the city: through 3,000 years of history, from the main places to the lesser-known streets, with many local tips you won't find in the guides.
We will pass through the heart of Porto among churches covered in azulejos, squares, alleys, and panoramic viewpoints, from the Clérigos Tower to São Bento station, up to the Cathedral and the Luís I Bridge.
You will discover how Porto has changed over time, why the city has such a particular character, what stories are hidden behind the most famous places, and how to better understand what surrounds you as you continue to explore it in the coming days.
During the journey there will be space for questions, photographs, and tips on restaurants, local specialties, and places to discover in the following days.
