Best of Porto in 1 Day: Self-Guided Walking Tour

Pushed for time but don't want to miss out on Porto's 'must sees'? This flexible self-guided walking tour of Portugal’s second city encompasses World Heritage architecture, history, art, food, port wine, views and shopping.

The itinerary includes more sights than you can realistically visit in one day, with the most important and optional ones clearly indicated. This allows you to customise your experience to suit your time, energy and interests without missing the best bits unless you choose to. 

If you have more than 1 day to discover Porto, this tour could easily be split over 2 days, especially with all the optional sights and additional suggestions.

Written by one of Portugal's top travel bloggers, Julie Dawn Fox in Portugal, the walking route is based on her own experience of countless trips to Porto over the past 15 years and thorough research into details and historical information.

The overall route is marked out on a map. Addresses, GPS, opening times and entrance fee information are provided for all major sights in the itinerary.

The full day walk takes around 8 hours and includes time for breaks and visits as well as suggestions for cafés and restaurants at appropriate points along the way.
