♡ Save
You would like to walk through streets with picturesque houses and beautiful tile murals, take pictures of wonderful views and historical places, live a very nice time, meet and share with other travelers from different parts of the world.
Discover the highlights of Porto with me! I’m Niko, and I’ll take you on a tour in Spanish through its streets, its history, and its most special spots.
We’ll start on Avenida dos Aliados, across from City Hall, to learn how the heart of the city has changed. We’ll step inside the Imperial McDonald’s to admire the details it still preserves from its days as a café.
Next, we’ll see the Clérigos Church and Tower and the famous Livraria Lello, whose history we’ll explore from the outside.
We’ll stroll down Rua das Flores, a street brimming with life and reminders of Porto’s commercial past.
At São Bento Station, we’ll admire its tiles and the stories they depict.
We’ll also visit Porto Cathedral and the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge, while enjoying beautiful views of the city.
We’ll take breaks to observe the details, take photos, and answer your questions.
I’ll tell you the story in simple terms and share tips for continuing to explore Porto, sampling its cuisine, and making the most of your stay.
I look forward to discovering a Porto full of stories with you!
