Itinerary and highlights
Be enchanted by the station's lobby, where you can admire 20,000 tiles depicting some of the most iconic moments in our history.
Let's visit this magnificent 19th-century building, which has been completely renovated. This is the main food market in downtown Porto.
Near the market, we will take a short break for coffee and to enjoy a typical local sweet treat.
One of the city's icons, this 19th-century bookstore is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. I highly recommend a visit!
Another point of interest, this tower was designed by the famous Italian architect and artist Nicolau Nazoni. It is the tallest in the city.
A fantastic viewpoint for watching the sunset and taking some photos.
This square we are passing through features a statue of Prince Henry the Navigator and two important buildings that are a must-see: the Stock Exchange Palace and the Church of St. Francis (14th century).
After leaving the historic center, we continue along the right bank of the Douro River to Foz. Marvel at the old neighborhood of Foz Velha and its narrow streets leading down to the sea.
After Foz Velha, we will continue along the Atlantic avenues to Matosinhos. We will take a break to observe and take photos of the most popular beach area in the Porto district.
From this incredible viewpoint, you can admire the banks of the Douro River and the two cities.
After passing through the narrow streets of the fishing district of Afurada, we will make a brief stop to visit a very special place where local women wash their clothes.
The last stop on this tour will be at the mouth of the Douro River, but on its left bank in Vila Nova de Gaia. We can enjoy the urban landscape and Cabedelo beach.
