Complete Porto Tour
Tour Details
At the indicated time, we'll meet at San Bento train station. From here, we'll make our way on foot to the Batalha neighbourhood to begin our tour.
On the first part of the tour, we'll head down Avenida dos Aliados to reach one of the most famous attractions in the city, the Torre dos Clérigos. From here, we'll head over to the Porto Cathedral, where we'll admire its exterior architecture, awarded National Monument status, as well as São Bento Station and its beautiful mosaics which represent the most important moments in the history and culture of the country.
The tour will then continue along the main streets and squares of the historic centre such as Baralha Square. To whet your appetite, we'll make a stop at one of Porto's most famous wineries to see the wine-making process and to have a tasting.
Afterwards, we'll eat in a typical Portuguese restaurant from this part of the Ribeira. The menu consists of starters and a choice between francesinha (a hearty steak and ham sandwich baked in melted cheese) or cod, plus dessert, water or wine and coffee.
Having eaten, we'll sail upstream in a Rabelo, the traditional Portuguese boat, to pass through the Douro and admire the different bridges which join Porto with Vila Nova de Gaia.
Once back on solid ground, you'll have some free time at Foz do Duoro, where you can relax on its beaches and admire the beautiful lighthouse. Afterwards, we'll meet back up and we'll stroll past the famous Cheese Castle, located on the city's Atlantic coast.
To finish, we'll swing by the Music House and Serralves Park, the perfect spot for this complete tour of Porto to come to an end.
After the tour, we'll bring you back to the meeting point.
