We’ll start our Porto Sunset Free Tour at the same spot, but this time we will go back even further, to the time when the fairs and markets were held here. We won’t miss the some of the city’s most emblematic spots like the Café A Brasileira and the Sá da Bandeira and Rivoli theaters before arriving at the commercial district of Santa Catarina. It’s impossible to mention this district without presenting Porto’s most famous market: the Mercado do Bolhão. Right in front of the market stands one of Porto’s oldest stores, the Pérola do Bolhão: the story of its founder is the story of every Tripeiro and the pulse and energy of Porto.
Wandering around the district we’ll see the Capela das Almas and the renowned Café Majestic, Porto’s finest example of Art Nouveau architecture, and the biggest rival to the Clérigos church, the church of Santo Ildefonso with its 11.000 blue tiles resembling the São Bento train station: the author, Jorge Colaço, built both.
Then, get ready to be completely astonished by the most charismatic district of Porto, “the island” as it is called here: the singular Bairro Herculano. Here, the best night of São João in the whole city is celebrated on the night of the 23rd of June.
As we approach the end of the tour, there’s still time to visit the a piece of the ancient Fernandine Wall, originally built in the XIV Century. And we saved the best for last: we will cross the Luís I Bridge and end the tour at the Miradouro do Teleférico in Gaia. Trust us: this will be one of the favorite moments of your stay in Porto.
