We took the free tour with our guide, Melina, and it was wonderful. It was an incredible experience, with a wealth of knowledge of the city and its history in general. It was great, we loved it, and I highly recommend it.

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.

Tour Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the meeting point to start our free tour of Oporto. Once we're all together, we'll begin our free walking tour of the city. Are you ready?

During the next 2.5 hours, we'll discover the top attractions and most emblematic places in Porto such as Avenida de los Aliados. Of course, 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.

Hicimos un free tour por Oporto y fue una experiencia maravillosa gracias a nuestra guía, Martica. Desde el primer momento nos transmitió su entusiasmo por la ciudad con una energía contagiosa y un gran sentido del humor. El recorrido fue muy completo, con paradas en los principales puntos históricos y también en rincones menos turísticos que nos sorprendieron. Nos explicó todo con claridad, pasión y un montón de anécdotas interesantes que hicieron el tour muy ameno. Translate this opinion into English.
