Overview
Step into the soul of Porto on a guided walking tour through Portugal’s captivating second-largest city, gracefully perched on the right bank of the Douro River.
Begin with an interior visit to Porto’s majestic Cathedral (Sé), a striking blend of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque architecture that reflects the city's layered history. Continue to the magnificent 19th-century Palácio da Bolsa (Stock Exchange Palace), a symbol of Porto's commercial success during the industrial age. Inside, marvel at its richly decorated halls, including the dazzling Arabian Room.
Next, immerse yourself in literary charm with a visit to the iconic Livraria Lello, often hailed as one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world, with its neo-Gothic façade, stained-glass ceiling, and ornate wooden staircase.
Stroll through the bustling Bolhão Market, a beloved local hub where vendors sell fresh produce, flowers, and regional delicacies—an authentic taste of daily life in Porto. Then cross the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge, designed by a disciple of Gustave Eiffel, and enjoy panoramic views of the city’s colorful riverfront and historic rooftops.
Conclude your tour in Vila Nova de Gaia, home to Porto’s legendary port wine cellars. Visit one of these traditional wine lodges to learn about the winemaking process—and of course, enjoy a tasting of the city's world-famous port wine while soaking in views of the old town across the river.
Return to your cruise ship with cherished memories of Porto’s charm and beauty.
