Experience a private excursion to Porto, where you’ll explore the city's renowned attractions along the Douro River with a dedicated English-speaking guide just for you. It’s an opportunity not to be missed!
Details of the Day Trip
Starting with a pick-up from your Lisbon accommodation, we will embark on a roughly 3-hour drive to Porto. This vibrant mercantile and port city is characterized by its stunning granite structures, grand Baroque architecture, and impressive iron constructions. Let’s begin our adventure!
Upon our arrival, a guided exploration will commence, featuring the Church of Carmo, a prime example of Porto’s Rococo architectural style. We will marvel at its flowing façade and the noteworthy tiled side wall added in 1912.
The next stop will be the São Bento Station, which dates back to the early 20th century and is located on the site of the old Convent of São Bento de Avé-Maria. Its vestibule is home to a significant artistic display: 20,000 tiles crafted by Jorge Colaço, illustrating Portugal’s history and transport developments.
We will then visit the Church of Saint Francis, the principal Gothic church in the city, whose opulent Baroque interior, adorned with intricate golden carvings, has earned it the title of the "Golden Church." When lunchtime arrives, you’ll have an hour of free time to select a dining option that suits your taste.
After lunch, the tour will continue to the Clérigos Tower, a hallmark of Baroque architecture in Porto. Our journey will lead us next to the Dom Luís I Bridge, a remarkable feat of ironwork unveiled in 1886, which perfectly illustrates the technical advancements of 19th-century Porto.
In conclusion, we will make our way back to Lisbon, where the day wraps up with your return to the hotel after an enriching 10-hour experience.
