Join our Historical Centre Porto Free Tour and discover the hidden charms and incomparable beauty of a city chiseled by age on the steep hills that grow from the magical Douro river. Understand the motives that brought in succession Celts and Romans to build settlements in a highly strategic enclave. A brave fortified city which has been the object of desire of countless invaders – Barbarians, Christians and Muslims- and all who succeeded fell hopelessly under its spell. Admire the city’s dazzling panoramic views from its pinnacle, the Pena Ventosa Hill, crowned by the majestic Porto Cathedral which dates back to the 12th Century, an ancient temple which tells stories of times past through each of its stones. Discover the secrets of its walled medieval town which gave its name to Portugal, one of the oldest countries in Europe.
