Free Tour of the Ribeira do Porto

Immerse yourself in the history of Porto with a tour that connects the upper city with the Ribeira. Accompanied by local guides in Spanish, we will get to know the essence of the Invicta City among walls, viewpoints, legends and ancient trade routes.

We will start from Praça da Batalha to talk about Porto's resistance and, afterwards, we will approach the Porta do Sol area, where we will understand how the medieval city grew and what role its ancient defenses played.

We will continue to the Cathedral of Porto and continue to the Igreja dos Grilos, with one of the most special viewpoints of the historic center. From there we will contemplate the staggered city that descends towards the river.

The walk will continue through squares such as São Domingos and São João Novo, spaces where convents, palaces and historic buildings reveal centuries of changes. We will then go down the Escadas do Caminho Novo, remembering the old Jewish quarter of Olival and the mercantile importance of Porto.

In the Ribeira we will discover the Church of San Francisco, the Palacio da Bolsa and the Casa do Infante before finishing at the Cais da Ribeira, between colorful facades, rabelos, views of Gaia and the Dom Luís I Bridge.
