Itinerary
Exploring the heart of Porto is to uncover the secrets of a city steeped in history and charm. We begin in the vibrant Baixa of Porto, where Avenida dos Aliados stands out as the epicenter of Porto life. We uncover the treasures of Jardim da Cordoaria and Bairro da Vitória before being captivated by the grandeur of the Clérigos Tower and losing ourselves in the magical Livraria Lello, which inspired J.K. Rowling in the creation of Harry Potter.
At São Bento Station, we are transported through the centuries by the tiles of Jorge Colaço, while the Cathedral and the Church of São Francisco leave us in awe with their imposing architecture and historical richness. At the Palácio da Bolsa, we are enveloped by the neoclassical splendor and the Arab Room, witnesses of an era of opulence and prestige.
Crossing the D. Luiz I Bridge, we enter Gaia, where the Port Wine Cellars invite us to taste the nectar of the gods. From the Serra do Pilar Monastery, we contemplate the city in its entirety, a breathtaking view that reminds us of the grandeur and beauty of this enchanting city.
Guimarães, the birthplace of Portugal and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2001, stands on the sacred hill where the statue of Dom Afonso Henriques remains vigilant. In its founding Castle, the charming Church of São Miguel, and the imposing Palace of the Dukes of Bragança, the streets seem to narrate a medieval tale. Squares like São Tiago, Toural, and Oliveira invite contemplation, while the delicious Santa Clara pastry tempts the taste buds of visitors.
In Braga, the city of archbishops, the remnants of civilizations adorn walls and facades, bearing witness to a rich history. In the majestic Sé or Cathedral, the cross of the first Mass celebrated in Brazil is venerated, and the tombs of Dom Afonso Henriques’ parents rest in silence. In the Bom Jesus Park, a natural sanctuary among lush forests, the monumental Via Sacra and the ingenious water-powered elevator invite contemplation and admiration for human ingenuity.
