Porto Free Tour by Night

Discover the magic of Porto under the night lights with our Porto by Night Free Tour. We start in front of the University of Porto to learn about its longevity, its weight in the life of Porto and the stories of the Igrejas do Carmo and das Carmelitas.

Nearby awaits us the Café Piolho, student emblem: we will review the theories about its curious name and its link with the time of the Estado Novo. We will continue through the Cordoaria Garden, one of the first green spaces in the city, and arrive at the Lello Bookstore, famous for its beauty and the inevitable question: could it have inspired J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter?

Then we will look up to the Clérigos Tower, at 75 meters, the tallest in Porto, before passing by the City Hall, Avenida dos Aliados and Praça da Liberdade. At São Bento station we will admire more than 20,000 tiles depicting key episodes of Portugal.

We will go down the lively Rua das Flores to the Palacio da Bolsa and close at the Ribeira, with night views of the Douro and Vila Nova de Gaia, an essential point of the local nightlife.
