Overview

Start your walk at Jardim do Morro, with a breathtaking view over Porto and the River Douro, where the Luís I Bridge stands out on the horizon. Head down to the Sé do Porto, one of Portugal's most emblematic cathedrals, and marvel at its architecture. A few steps away is the Church of São Lourenço, simple and charming.

Explore the historic center and admire the imposing Palácio da Bolsa, a landmark of neoclassical architecture, and the Church of São Francisco, with its baroque interior. Pass through the charming Rua das Flores, full of cafés and typical stores, and arrive at São Bento Station, where Portuguese tiles tell the story of Portugal.

Continue on to Praça da Liberdade and Avenida dos Aliados, where the magnificence of the 19th century buildings enchants, especially the Torre dos Clérigos, an icon of the city and a panoramic viewpoint. This route is a true immersion in the history and beauty of Porto, where every street and monument tells a fascinating story.
