Free Walking Tour of Porto
Let yourself be seduced by Porto’s charming streets and colourful buildings while you wander through its nostalgic historic centre and learn about its fascinating history on a free walking tour.
Description
At the chosen time, you'll meet your guide at the Garrett Monument, in front of the Town Hall. From this central point on Avenida dos Aliados you'll begin your free walking tour of the city.
During the next 2.5 hours, you'll discover the top attractions and most emblematic neighbourhoods of Porto. We'll pass by the Clerigos Church and its beautiful Bell Tower, the highest in Portugal, and admire great panoramic views of the city from its observation deck.
Walk to the University of Porto to discover if the stories that link it to the Harry Potter books and films are true, and then admire the stately San Bento railway station, famous for being decorated with over 20,000 tiles that narrate the history of Portugal.
Afterwards, we'll visit the “Sé do Porto”, the Porto Cathedral, a fortress-like building with battlements that has undergone numerous modifications throughout its history. We'll learn the details of this religious building, built in the highest part of the city.
After a 2.5-hour tour, we'll conclude the free tour in the vicinity of the cathedral.
