Embark on the Porto Audio Tour: Palaces, Towers, and Timeless Treasures

A city once lit by smugglers’ lanterns and shaken by forbidden love still hides its secrets in the shadows of Porto’s steep lanes.

Find the stories scripted in stone and echoing between the Clérigos Tower and the Super Bock Arena on this immersive self-guided audio tour. Move beyond postcards as whispered legends and overlooked corners come to life in your ears.

Which rebellion echoed off the Baroque walls of Clérigos Church? Why did spies slip through the halls of Carrancas Palace at midnight? And what strange sporting scandal once rattled the calm of the arena?

Stride from sunlit plazas to thrilling alleyways as Porto’s drama unfolds step by step. Feel the pulse of lost centuries under your feet and glimpse the city behind the stage set.

Ready to unlock the stories hidden in stone and spirit? Press play and let Porto reveal itself with every step.
