BELLEZA EN CADA ESQUINA. OH! Tours nace a principios del año 2020 en la ciudad de Porto, y desde aquí lo entendemos como una empresa basada en buscar, descubrir y compartir con el viajero la belleza de esta ciudad. Y aquí hablamos de toda la belleza de la ciudad: más allá del centro existe un Porto Decó, Brutalista, Moderno y alucinante. En el centro, no sólo de casas de colores vive el viajero: te contamos las historias más desconocidas mientras descubres las calles más estrechas y los rincones más antiguos, mientras –estamos seguras– suspiras ‘¡OH! ¡Porto!’. Lo habrás adivinado bien: nuestro santo patrón es el señor Stendhal.

Tour description

PORTO MISTERIOSA is a nocturnal, enigmatic and illuminated route through Porto.

A journey through the darkest corners of its history: relics, literature; the city's prisons and its most famous prisoners; incorrupt bodies, the river and its mysteries or the shadows of its most emblematic monuments.

What will you see on this tour?
It's not so much what you see, but what we'll tell you... which we hope will make your hair stand on end! In other words, this is a mystery and crime tour where you'll also enjoy the night views of the city's monuments and end up, we hope, with breathtaking views.

What won't you see on this tour?
As we focus on the crimes and mysteries of the city, we will not go into historical details in great detail, meaning this is not a historical tour.

If you are looking for a more traditional historical tour, we recommend you join any of our daytime tours: PORTO AMURALADA (tour of the medieval historical area and World Heritage Site. Here: https://www.guruwalk.com/en/walks/36355-oporto-amurallada-de-lo-visible-e-invisible) or PORTO AZULEJADA (tour of the historical area of Baixa focusing on the tiled monuments. Here: https://www.guruwalk.com/en/walks/41694-oporto-azulejada-todo-lo-que-brilla).

We hope you see everything in a different light... that is, at night!

These are some of our stops:
- CADEIA DE RELAÇAO (OLD PORTO PRISON)
- CORDOARIA GARDEN
- BATTLE SQUARE
- SUN STREET
- LOUIS I BRIDGE
And many more!

BONUS TRACK / Practical issues:

We recommend you dress warmly in winter and autumn... but also in spring and summer! The Atlantic climate is very cool at night, so even if you think it's very hot during the day, bring a jacket to wear!
