About this activity
n a 3 hours walking tour around the historic city centre, starting at the central railway station of S. Bento, enjoy the how Porto witnessed a huge urban and industrial growth in the 1800s, allowing the city to tear down what was left of the Fernandine Wall and expand to the periphery. Monuments such as the Bookstore Lello & Irmão, despite inspiring J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter, provided a cultural beacon for all the scholars and academics with its outstanding neogothic façade; the Majestic Cafe, a bohemian beacon for poets, writers and architects has an Art Nouveau façade, heavily influenced by Paris; or a traditional coffee and spices shop, its entrance is more than meets the eye.

The meeting point is at the Railway Station of São Bento and you can expect to see a wide range of art and architecture from the mids of the 1800s to the Roaring 20s that heavily influenced the city centre of Porto. The main highlights concern:
• Estação de São Bento – S. Bento Railway Station
• Pérola do Bolhão
• Café Majestic – Majestic Cafe
• Livraria Lello & Irmão – Bookstore Lello & Irmão
• Town Hall
• Mercado Ferreira Borges – Market of Ferreira Borges
