Sightseeing walking tour of the Port

Porto is romantic, but northernly harsh. This granite city is characterized by a mixture of architectural styles and attracts the attention of thousands and thousands of curious tourists. In Porto, every stone is the keeper of history, behind every page of which is a secret.

In the historical part of the city we will see such attractions as the ancient Cathedral of Se (XII century) with a massive altar of minted silver and the Episcopal Palace with a long 60-meter facade - a masterpiece of Portuguese Baroque architecture of the XVIII century. The next stop along our route is the station of San Bento, famous for its magnificent tiled mosaics - huge wall panels. Walk through Liberty Square, where there is a monument to King Don Pedro IV, and stop at the magnificent church with the famous “baroque candle” – a 76-meter bell tower. The Klerigush Tower is a symbol of the city of Porto. Nearby is one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world - "Lello and Brother". It's worth seeing and being surprised. Past the university building through the Four Lions Square we will get and admire the charming churches of Karma and Carmelitosh. The Church of Karma will be remembered by you as a huge panel of azulezush. Next, we head to the Plaza Infante Henriques (Henry the Navigator), which is home to the pompous Palace of the Exchange, the monument to Henry the Navigator and the Church of St. Francis - the only religious building in the city, built in the Gothic style and one of the most beautiful on the Iberian Peninsula. The oldest streets will lead to the famous embankment of Ribeira, from the banks of which the first caravels left to discover new Earths. On the bridge of Don Luis I, built according to the project of the famous Eiffel, we will move to the other bank of the Douro River to the famous cellars in which port wine is stored and aged. We will visit one of them and, of course, tasting port wine, a masterpiece of Portuguese winemaking art.
