Overview of your Porto tour

Step into Porto’s rich history on a journey through its iconic landmarks and hidden gems. We begin at the Lions Fountain, a symbol near Porto University, before admiring the stunning Carmo and Carmelitas Churches, separated by the city’s narrowest house. Passing the Historic Hospital, we uncover centuries of medical history. Then, we step into the enchanting Lello Bookstore, famous for its grand staircase and stained glass. At the Clérigos Tower, we marvel at its Baroque beauty before strolling through Oliveira Garden and the Jewish Old Street, reliving Porto’s past. Porto’s gastronomy is just as historic as its streets. We’ll talk about grilled sardines, crispy codfish cakes, the iconic Francesinha sandwich, and the beloved Pastel de Nata, dishes that tell the story of the city’s culture. We continue through Porto’s charming neighborhoods, where history meets daily life, and visit the grand Porto Cathedral, one of the city’s most important landmarks.
