Bells once tolled for buried secrets in Porto—where stone towers rise above alleys echoing with centuries of intrigue. This self-guided audio tour pulls you off the tourist trail, letting you unlock vivid stories most travelers never hear.

Who once scaled the Clérigos Tower not for faith, but to signal rebellion? What sacred secret is said to be sealed within the darkest corners of Porto Cathedral? Why did a simple public bench in Carlos Alberto Square ignite a citywide scandal that rippled through Europe?

Feel the pulse of rebellion under your feet and glimpse the city through the eyes of spies, poets, and revolutionaries. Each step draws you deeper into layers of drama, hidden beauty, and stories waiting just behind each stone facade.

Dare to see Porto beyond the postcard—press play and let secrets lead your way.
