Discover Porto, one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal, also one of the oldest of Europe, recognized by the unique historical UNESCO World Heritage city centre, with this half-day tour.
The first part of the tour will be done on foot, with a walk through the historic center. We’ll start at Avenida dos Aliados, admiring the impressive architecture of the buildings. From there, you’ll be able to see the majestic Clérigos Tower. Among other notable landmarks, we’ll pass by the McDonald's, known as one of the most beautiful in the world.
We’ll continue to São Bento Train Station, where our guide will share the history of the station and its famous tilework, depicting significant scenes from Portuguese culture and history.
Next, we’ll walk up to the Porto Cathedral (Sé), one of the oldest monuments in the city, where we’ll take a brief pause to appreciate the views and learn about its history (we’ll be viewing it from the outside only). From the cathedral, we’ll proceed to the Fernandina Wall, which offers beautiful views of the city.
We’ll then arrive at Batalha Square, where we’ll board our comfortable coach.
From here, the tour continues to Vila Nova de Gaia, where we’ll visit a Port wine cellar. Here, we’ll learn about the wine-making process and enjoy a tasting of three Port wines.
We’ll finish our half-day tour back in Porto’s city center, at the same location where we boarded the bus in the morning.
