Highlights
- Porto Cathedral (Se Catedral) - The Porto Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church located in the historical centre of the city of Porto, Portugal. It is one of the city’s oldest monuments and one of the most important local Romanesque monuments.
- Livraria Lello - The Lello Bookstore, also known as Livraria Lello & Irmão and Livraria Chardron, is a bookstore located in civil parish of Cedofeita, Santo Ildefonso, Sé, Miragaia, São Nicolau e Vitória, in the northern Portuguese municipality of Porto.
- Igreja do Carmo - The Igreja do Carmo and Igreja dos Carmelitas, at the corner of Praça de Carlos Alberto and Rua do Carmo, are two churches in Porto that stand almost side by side.
The two churches are separated by a very narrow (1m wide) house that was inhabited until the 1980’s. The house was built so that the two churches would not share a common wall and to prevent any relations between the nuns of Igreja dos Carmelitas and the monks of Igreja do Carmo.
- Torre dos Clerigos - The Clérigos Church is a Baroque church in the city of Porto, in Portugal. Its tall bell tower, the Torre dos Clérigos, can be seen from various points of the city and is one of its most characteristic symbols.
- Liberdade Square - Liberdade Square is a square in the city of Porto, Portugal. It is located in Santo Ildefonso parish, in the lower town area. The square is continuous on its north side with the Avenida dos Aliados, an important avenue of the city.
- Sao Bento Railway Station - São Bento Railway Station in Porto was opened to the public in 1916 on the site of a former Benedictine monastery. The structure emanates the city’s typical melancholy and nostalgic air.
Although the train station is striking from outside, the real beauty lies inside. The main hall is breathtaking with over 20,000 tiles that reflect the history of Portugal.
- Douro River - The Douro is one of the major rivers of the Iberian Peninsula, flowing from its source near Duruelo de la Sierra in Soria Province across northern-central Spain and Portugal to its outlet at Porto.

Wonderful Porto private day trip with Filipe - Excellent. Tour guide Filipe is very knowledgeable, responsible, helpful, and on time, I had a wonderful Porto trip. I was a bit worried at booking as my first solo trip and there was a bit of hiccup the day before trip on pickup location but turned out all good and much better than expected. Highly recommend this tour guide.
Viator customer service is very good too, great experience as first time user.

A small taste of Porto - If you would like a quick trip to Porto to squeeze it in, this is the excursion for you. We went to the tower (climbed to the top, ticket not included) passed the book store (didn’t go in - over a 2 hour queue and you need tickets in advance), saw the cathedral from the outside (closed for a wedding) and went into the train station. We also had some free time to have lunch and do a port wine tasting. The ride from Lisbon is about 3 hours each way so you get about 3 hours in Porto.
