Palace of the Stock Exchange (Palácio da Bolsa)

Palácio da Bolsa, a visually stunning and historically significant attraction in Porto, earns praise for its opulent interiors and grand atmosphere, especially the Arab Room. While many travelers recommend booking tours in advance due to high demand, some mention long waits and rushed experiences.

No, Bolsa Palace is not free to enter. As it's still an active exchange, you can only visit Palacio da Bolsa on a guided tour and these cost € 12 for an adult.

One of the most-visited sites in Porto, the Palacio da Bolsa is renowned for its exquisite neoclassical facade and ornate gilded Arabian Hall. This massive building – located in the historic center of Porto – once acted as the city's stock exchange, wooing European bankers and investors alike.

Golden Room This room is also called Room of the Board because the Management of Associação Comercial do Porto, who owns the Palace, holds its meetings here. Similar to the Portraits Room it is a perfect place for any type of medium sized event.
