Explore Porto
like a local.

Porto is a city best explored at your own pace. The historic center is compact, full of narrow streets and steep hills, so walking is often the best way to feel its rhythm. As we say here, “dar corda aos sapatos” — wind up your shoes and get moving.

A private journey into Porto, guided by someone who belongs to it.

I was born in the very heart of Porto. Every morning, my grandmother walked me through its streets to school. Those walks were more than a routine, they were my first lessons about the soul of this city. I grew up here, I fell in love here, and I met my wife here — a Brazilian who, like so many travelers, couldn’t resist the charm of Porto and made it her home too.

Public transportation
is a great option

Porto has a reliable and easy-to-use public transport system that makes getting around simple.

• Metro – The metro connects the airport to the city center in about 30 minutes and covers most of Porto and Gaia. Trains are frequent, modern and easy to use with the rechargeable Andante card.

• Buses (STCP) – Cover areas the metro doesn’t reach. They run day and night, though traffic can slow them down.

• Trams – More than transport, they are a piece of history. The most popular is Tram 1, which runs along the river, offering beautiful views.

• Funicular dos Guindais – A short but scenic ride connecting Ribeira to Batalha, saving you from one of Porto’s steepest climbs.

• Trains (CP) – From São Bento or Campanhã you can take short trips to nearby towns like Braga, Guimarães or Aveiro. Public transport in Porto is affordable, safe, and a great way to see both the highlights and the hidden corners of the city.

When I guide you, I don’t just show you monuments. I share the city as I have lived it: the narrow alleys filled with nostalgia, the viewpoints locals keep to themselves, the taverns where tradition still feels untouched.
