Overview

Embark on an amazing journey to Porto, a coastal city in northwest Portugal known for its stately bridges and port wine production. In the medieval Ribeira (riverside) district, narrow cobbled streets wind past merchants’ houses and cafes. Its unique architecture, culture and traditions are famous around the world.

You'll start by leaving Lisbon and heading on to Águeda, passing by Costa Nova Beach, and Senhor da Pedra (optional).

Upon arriving in Porto, we'll have a walk around the town and see Clerigos Tower and Church, the famous centennial Lello Bookstore whose stairs were an inspiration to the stairs in Hogwarts, and of course, the main boulevard of Porto, Avenida dos Aliados.

After this, we'll move on to lunch (at your own expense). You can follow our guide's recommendation, or book your own!

In order to end this tour in the best way possible, before returning to Lisbon, we'll take on a guided visit of the Burmester Caves, and allow you a taste of it fabulous Porto Wine!
