Itinerary and highlights

Where our tour begins.

It is a very beautiful church. Its construction began in 1776. It is located next to the Douro River, in Largo do Adro.

The 14 modules of the supporting wall of the Palácio de Cristal Gaeden have a renewed face, exhibiting the new works selected as part of the Programa de Arte Urbana.

Part of the romantic route, Rua de Entre Quintas is behind the Palácio de Cristal, which lends it all that greenery. All that bucolic atmosphere that continues in the old Quinta da Macieirinha, besieged in that street.

Located in the center of Porto, these gardens were designed by the Berliner Emil David (1839-1873), as part of the construction of the Palácio de Cristal building itself. Currently, the Emil David Garden at the main entrance, the Avenues of Tílias and Plátanos, the woods and the design of the balconies over the Douro are still preserved from the original project.

Carlos Alberto Square (Praça de Carlos Alberto) in Porto is a space rich in history, serving as a market and a central gathering place since its inception.

Small, historic urban park with a serene vibe featuring a variety of trees, plants & sculptures.

A genuine baroque masterpiece dating from the mid-18th century. It was designed by Nicolau Nasoni, an architect of Italian origin.

Livraria Lello is one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world with its intricate neo-gothic and art nouveau design.

In the São Bento railway station, travel without leaving the station and admire the azulejos, these beautiful Portuguese tiles.

The Sé Cathedral is the most important religious building in Porto. It is located in the Batalha district, next to the walls that once protected the city.

This bridge dominates the Ribeira area, and spans the Douro River. It had two levels - one connects the higher parts of the city either side of the Douro River.

This park offers amazing views of the river and the city and provides an oasis of peace and calm in a busy city.
