If you don't know Porto yet, then it's time to delve into its charms. This city located in the north of Portugal and next to the Douro River is the second largest in the country. In this Essential Free Tour Porto, your expert local guide will take you for a walk through some of the most beautiful streets and landmarks of this port city. Strolling through the city you will discover small corners full of magic that are not accessible on a tourist bus. With a small group of international travelers, you will visit small streets, neighborhoods, and villas that give Porto its famous air of nostalgia, and even a touch of romance. Soon, you will understand why the writer J.K. Rowling was inspired by Porto to write a literary work of fantasy that captivated the world.

At the highest point of the city, you will find the Cathedral of Porto. It combines Gothic, Romanesque and Baroque styles, but on the outside, it has the appearance of a crenelated fortress. Not far from there, guests on the Essential Free Tour Porto will enjoy the sight of the wonderful Church of Saint Ildefonso, a rarity worth seeing. Its facade is decorated with 11,000 blue and white tiles. Have your camera ready to take amazing pictures! Just nearby there’s another wonder, the Clerigos Church. It has the highest tower in Portugal, which with its 76 meters high, provides a privileged view. Undoubtedly, these are destinations of a religious nature, but they are also some of the great attractions of the city.

Walking along Porto, you will also learn about the history of this superb city, one of the oldest settlements in Europe. The Douro River has provided nourishment to the area for centuries, and then transformed Porto into a commercial route between the Americas and the rest of the world. Of the many bridges crossing the river, the most representative is the Luis I Bridge, designed by Theophile Seyrig, a disciple of Gustave Eiffel. From the Ribeira neighborhood you can see the magnificence of the bridge while walking past traditional taverns serving the famous sweet Port wine. This tour will likely be the highlight of your trip to Porto, so don’t wait and book your seat now! Come and share a wonderful day in Portugal.
