When in Portugal, don’t miss out on a Porto Tour! Porto has something for everyone; from food and wine lovers, to architecture appreciators, to Harry Potter fans.
The best way to get to know Porto is on foot. The narrow, winding streets offer surprises at every corner. It is easy to wander through the colourful facades of the suburbs for hours.
Street art will treat your eyes, shopfronts will offer you light-entertainment with jokes and pictures drawn on their windows, and locals will keep you guessing as they chatter in Portuguese on the terraces above you.
Make sure you check out Rua das Flores (street of flowers) – where you’ll see derelict buildings sharing walls with beautiful, newly renovated homes.
For those wanting to learn more about the city and its history, a walking tour is the way to go. Check out our walking tour here.
