Meeting Point
Trindade fountain
- In front of the Trindade church, this fountain is located, which takes its name from the fact that in the past it was known as the Largo do Laranjal and then as the Trindade fountain, but before that there was another fountain where people always had problems and ended up flat on their faces, which is why they received the name of "Fonte do Olho do Cu" and this fountain was rebuilt in 1853 with the material of another one that was in the length of São Domingos.
Trindade Square
Iconic square with it's water fountain right behind the beautiful city hall.
S.Bento train station
Porto's São Bento Train Station is without a doubt the most visually appealing Train Station in Porto – if not in Portugal, and certainly one of the most beautiful in the world.
It is located just a few meters from the Avenida dos Aliados, in the “baixa”, in the city center of Porto. Even if you don’t plan on using the train troughout your visit, we recommend that you see its beautiful atrium.
Sé Cathedral
The Porto Cathedral (Portuguese: Sé do Porto) is a Roman Catholic church located in the historical centre of the city of Porto, Portugal. It is one of the city's oldest monuments and one of the most important local Romanesque monuments.

I'm from Porto and very enthusiastic and passionate about my city's history, sights, curiosities and hidden gems. Portugal is an old country with a long history that can be explored through it's monuments, churches and little side streets, and I look forward to showing everyone its beauty and secrets! I studied Tourism at World Travel School in Amsterdam, Holland. When I finished my degree in 1992, I moved back to Porto in 1992, and have lived here ever since. I've had many tours with all kinds of different people from all over the world, and love showing off why my city has become my passion!
