HIDDEN PORTO (OFF THE BEATEN TRACKS)
This walking tour offers you the chance to explore some of Porto’s less well known areas (at least for tourists).
Let’s go off the beaten track with a nice walk through the picturesque districts placed outside and inside the ancient wall.
Discover the oldest public garden, the “ilhas” (old working-class neighborhoods), enjoy the most amazing views over the Douro River and the very old medieval town.
The tour ends with a descent of the medieval core of the old city until the riverside.
