Embark on the Porto Audio Tour: Scholars, Saints & Legends of the Riverside City

In Porto, every cobblestone could tell a secret and every bell tower guards a legend. Spirals of history swirl above the city, waiting to be uncovered beyond the postcards and plazas.

This immersive self-guided audio tour invites you on a journey through Porto’s heart, unlocking sides of Clérigos Church, Porto Cathedral, and the iconic Historic Center that most travelers rush past. Find hidden tales where old stones stand silent witness.

What riotous plot once threatened to bring down Clérigos Tower itself? Who vanished near the cathedral, leaving only cryptic clues behind? What bizarre ritual was performed on a moonlit night inside the city’s oldest square?

Wander twisting lanes as the drama of Porto unfolds around you. Each story adds intensity and texture, transforming ancient landmarks into vivid backdrops for political intrigue, whispered scandals, and astonishing mysteries.

Begin the adventure now and let Porto reveal the secrets it hides in plain sight.
