Embark on the Porto Audio Tour: Palaces, Cathedrals, and Hidden Stories Unveiled

A bell clangs above Porto’s tiled rooftops, echoing secrets that have shaped empires and birthed intrigue for centuries. Ancient stones still hum with rebellion and whispered betrayals beneath your feet.

This self-guided audio tour peels back the city’s ornate façade, revealing tangled alleyways, hidden scandals, and sights most travelers never discover.

Which noble blood was spilled on the Cathedral’s steps during a midnight siege? Why was Clérigos Tower once feared as much as it was admired? What peculiar promise binds generations of merchants beneath Rua das Flores’ cobblestones?

Wander through Porto’s living story, feeling the pulse of old revolts, the awe of cathedrals, and the thrill of finding a side of the city that’s kept carefully out of sight. Every turn sparks a new chapter.

Let Porto’s bell draw you into its shadowed corners—your journey into mystery begins now.
