The best way to appreciate Porto's charms is to avail Dook’s Porto Tour Packages, while exploring the hilly backstreets of Miragaia, Ribeira, and Massarelos.

The sounds of port glasses clinking, the slosh of the Douro against the docks, the snap of laundry drying in river winds are mind blowing. More so, the sight of young lovers subtly entwined beneath famous bridges on the edge of park fountains, or in the crumbling notch of graffiti-covered walls are the quiet reflections and moments of every day’s life that you will remember the most.

Plan A Trip To Porto

Porto's dizzying miradouros (lookouts) and hip roof terrace bars entrap you. The city is reduced to postcard size from the Sé cathedral terrace and Gaia's hilltop Jardim do Morro: a vibrant crumbling dream with soaring bell towers, opulent baroque churches, and majestic beaux arts structures. The palm-lined, fountain-dotted gardens of Jardins do Palácio de Cristal are equally beautiful. Seagulls soar on Atlantic breezes even in the center of the city, and a creaky trip on tram 1 trundles you quickly to Foz do Douro's expansive ocean.


Top Places to Visit in Porto

1. Igreja de São Francisco

Igreja de So Francisco appears to be a wholly Gothic church from outside, but it houses one of Portugal's most exquisite exhibits of baroque splendor inside. Nearly 100 tonnes of gold leaf drowns otherworldly cherubs and somber monks; not a centimeter is left untouched. Don’t miss out this church while you are in your Porto Tour. The rich and famous of Porto were once interred in the creepy catacombs. Watch out for sculptures created by Portuguese artist António Teixeira Lopes and Italian maestro Nicolau Nasoni.

2. Palácio da Bolsa

A magnificent neoclassical structure honors Porto's past and contemporary currency traders. The glass-domed Pátio das Naçes (Hall of Nations), where the exchange originally worked, is located right outside the front door. The rooms further inside, though, are far more impressive; to see these, take one of our half-hour guided tours, which depart every 30 minutes. The Salo rabe (Arabic Hall), a magnificent ballroom with stucco walls has been intricately carved into Moorish patterns and gilded with about 18 kg of gold, is one of the most highlighted attraction.

3. Terreiro da Sé

A maze of medieval passageways and staircases rises from Praça da Ribeira to the towering cathedral, which is perched on a hill. It was founded in the 12th century, largely rebuilt in the following century and then underwent significant renovations in the 18th century. The church's Romanesque roots may still be seen, nevertheless, in the barrel-vaulted nave. A rose window and a Gothic cloister from the fourteenth century can still be found inside.

The cathedral has historical significance because this is where Prince Henry the Navigator was baptized in 1394 and where Dom Joo I married his beloved Philippa of Lancaster in 1387, when the fortune of distant territories was merely a distant dream.
