Description

Discover the best of Porto in 1 or 2 days on a flexible, self-guided walking tour

Do you want to make the most of your limited time in Porto? My self-guided walking tour of Portugal’s second city encompasses UNESCO World Heritage architecture, history, art, food, port wine, views and shopping.

I’ve made sure you won’t miss any of the most important sights while also sharing some hidden gems along the way. With a carefully curated itinerary, you’ll have the freedom to explore at your own pace, knowing exactly which sights to visit and in what order. 

Designed for the independent, reasonably fit, and culturally curious traveller, this Porto walking tour 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. 

The full 1-day walk, with visits to the most important sights, takes around 8 hours and includes time for breaks. 

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.
