TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Porto Cathedral

Overlooking Ribeira and the River Douro, the cathedral of Porto lies on the top of the hill right next to the bridge Dom Luis I. A bishop named Hugo started its construction in the XII century and along the centuries it was adapted to the population needs.

São Bento Railway Station

It was built on top of the site of an old monastery named São Bento de Avé Maria, where the train station got its name from. This monastery was closed after the death of the last nun in 1892 and it is believed that she still haunts the corridors of this station

Aliados Avenue

Being the main avenue of the city of Porto it is here that we celebrate the biggest events in town. Totally transformed, it grew from a small square where we can find a statue of king Pedro IV, until where we have the city hall nowadays.
