Highlights
On this tour, we will share the stories that connect us to the origins of Porto and the resilience of its local inhabitants. We will provide a glimpse into the city's oldest and most colorful aspects. As we make our way down towards the Ribeira, we will pass through the most traditional streets and discuss the changes in social organization that time has brought. We will also talk about the medieval defense systems of the city and the importance of the local productive activities. We'll clarify the symbol of the rooster "Galo de Barcelos", which can be easily found for sale in every corner of Portugal. And we'll end the tour near the statue of Infante D. Henrique, located at the Ribeira. This statue is a symbol of the end of the medieval era and the beginning of the Renaissance era in Portugal.

About Porto
Porto tumbles down steep hills to the Douro River, a granite city of tiled churches, riverside cellars and port wine aged across the water.
The Ribeira district lines the riverbank with colourful houses, cafés and boats, part of a UNESCO-listed old centre beneath the iron arches of the Dom Luís I Bridge. Above it, the São Bento station hall is covered in blue-and-white azulejo tiles, the Clérigos Tower rises above the rooftops, and the Sé cathedral stands on its hill.
Top-ranked sights in Porto: Clérigos Church and Tower (Torre & Igreja dos Clérigos), Dom Luis Bridge (Ponte de Dom Luis I), Porto Cathedral (Sé Catedral do Porto).
