Itinerary and highlights
It's in the old historical neighbourhood that we find the routes of Porto, the first residents, the Cathedral and the first jewish community.
It was at the Riverside area that the city developed in terms of trade and business. In the area we had a lot of merchants that had there stores and houses creating a maze of narrow streets.
The Vitória neighbourhood was one the jewish quarters we had in Porto. Established in 1386 by King João I it was one of the biggest jewish communities in the city.
The historical documents show that the Olival neighbourhood had a cemetery nearby. Accordingly to those documents the Virtudes Garden was in a far away era, the Jewish Cemetery
