Step into a surreal world, where public art is everywhere, from the traditional azulejos (hand painted blue and white murals) to the inspirational pictures sprayed onto medieval walls. At every turn there’s something new to see. Observe the city where the Douro River meets the expansive Atlantic, situated on a charming riverbank, full of imposing towers and architecture. Admire the blue-tiled 14th Century churches along with its typical squares and parks. Come and find out why so many tourists fall in love with Porto and its culture.


See the Porto Cathedral, a reflection of its people from the 12th Century and with a prominent Romanesque structure. Take note of how it is composed of many different architectural influences from over the ages including its baroque turrets or the loggia designed by Nicolau Nasoni in the 18th Century. Visit the magnificent São Bento Railway Station, famous for its azulejos which cover the station’s walls and depict important scenes from Portugal’s history.


Next we’ll uncover Clérigos Church, or a literal translation of “Church of the Clergymen.” See how this Baroque church conquers the city with its tall bell tower, visible from many parts of the city and is one of the most symbolic characteristics of Porto.
