This 3-hour walking tour in Porto begins next to the pillory in front of the Cathedral, located in the city’s original core. A local professional guide leads the group through the oldest streets, starting with a 10-minute visit to the Cathedral itself. The tour continues with a 15-minute explanation about the old Jewish quarter and its significance. Participants will learn about the Jewish community’s role in Porto’s early mercantile development and their contributions during the Age of Discoveries. The guide points out remains of the medieval city walls and other historic buildings over several 10-minute stops. The tour also covers the impact of the Inquisition on the Jewish population for over three centuries and highlights locations tied to Jewish heritage that are still visible in the city today. The route follows from Pena Ventosa to Ribeira, concluding with a 10-minute stop at a viewpoint overlooking the river. Visits to the Porto Synagogue and the Jewish Museum are not included. The tour involves some stairs and steep streets, so comfortable shoes are recommended. It operates in all weather conditions and requires smart casual dress.
