Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Porto Cathedral (Se Catedral), S/N0 Terreiro Se 3 Centro Histórico, Porto 4050-573 Portugal
The cathedral is situated in the Batalha district, next to the walls that protected the city in the past. The exterior of the building has a crenellated fortress look.
Construction of the cathedral began in the twelfth century and throughout history has undergone many reconstructions, so it has different styles. Most of the cathedral is Baroque, although the façade structure and church body are Romanesque, and the cloister and chapel of St. John the Evangelist are Gothic in style.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Sao Bento Railway Station, Praca Almeida Garrett, Porto 4000-069 Portugal
São Bento Train Station
One of the most beautiful train stations in Europe
If you came by train you will, for sure, have arrived at Porto Campanha, a modern station that serves the main lines. But in the São Bento railway station, travel without leaving the station and admire the azulejos, these beautiful Portuguese tiles which depict historical life scenes.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Livraria Lello, Rua Carmelitas 144 Vitória, Porto 4050-161 Portugal
Lello Bookstore also stands out for the architecture of its building. The responsible for this architecture was Francisco Xavier Esteves, who studied at the Polytechnic Academy of Porto.
In the neo-Gothic façade, two figures stand out, symbolizing Art and Science. Looking at the front of the building, we can see on the right side a figure holding one of the symbols of anthropology, which represents science. Already on the left side, we can see a figure holding a sculpture, which represents art.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Ribeira Square, Praca da Ribeira, Porto 4050-513 Portugal
Its colorful and decorated facades attract the attention of all visitors, both those that give to the Douro and are reflected in it (better views of Vila Nova de Gaia, on the opposite bank) and those that are part of the maze of streets that form the neighborhood of. Ribeira
If you are looking for a beautiful place to have lunch and walk, the Ribeira neighborhood is the right place. You’ll find dozens of terraced restaurants where you can enjoy typical Portuguese dishes while enjoying views of the Luis I Bridge and Vila Nova de Gaia with its illuminated cellars.
Duration: 1 hour
Pass By: Porto District, Porto District, Northern Portugal
Avenida dos Aliados is a wide avenue in central Porto. It is topped by Porto City Hall and flanked by a line of Art Nouveau and Art Deco facades. The avenue is named after the historic alliance between England and Portugal in the late 14th century.
There is a wide promenade that starts from the center of the avenue paved with gray stones although the original white stones can still be seen at the base of the statues that are at regular intervals along the way. The buildings on the avenue are mainly banks and hotels. Liberty Square is at the bottom of Avenida dos Aliados with a large statue of Dom Pedro IV mounted on his horse in the center of the square.
