You will also pass by the legendary Livraria Lello, one of the most beautiful bookshops in the world, where you’ll admire its facade replete with Neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau details while your guide reveals the truth behind its rumoured connection to the literary sensation Harry Potter. Continuing along Avenida dos Aliados, Porto’s grandest boulevard, you'll pause at the neoclassical City Hall and hear how this elegant avenue has been the stage for some of the city’s most significant political and cultural events. Later, a stop at São Bento Station will give you the chance to marvel at its delightful tile panels, which depict key moments from Portuguese history in thousands of hand-painted azulejos.
You’ll step back in time to the Middle Ages as you make your way to Porto Cathedral, one of the city's oldest and most significant monuments, discovering how this imposing structure played a crucial role in Porto’s evolution. Descending into the Ribeira district, you’ll get a breath of sea air as you walk around the city’s atmospheric riverside quarter, where colourful facades, historic alleyways, and lively squares provide a fitting backdrop as your guide explains how Porto became one of Europe’s key maritime hubs. After a refreshing pause for lunch at one of Porto’s fantastic restaurants (at your own expense), your journey continues across the Dom Luís I Bridge, a remarkable architectural innovation that offers breathtaking views over the Douro. Arriving in Vila Nova de Gaia, you will proceed to explore the quieter side of the river, where the centuries-old tradition of Port wine ageing and trade has shaped the city’s identity. Your day will conclude with a visit to one of Porto’s most prestigious Port Houses, where your guide will hand over pre-arranged tickets for a guided cellar visit and an indulgent Port wine tasting.
