Explore the attractions of Porto Scavenger Hunt

São Bento Station – starting point of Porto Scavenger Hunt and city tour

To start exploring the city you can start from São Bento Station. Housed in a grand Beaux-Arts building, this iconic station is world-renowned for its vestibule adorned with 20,000 hand-painted azulejo tiles that depict the sweeping history of Portugal. As you walk through the station’s main hall, you will discover a breathtaking fusion of functional transportation and fine art, where cinematic blue-and-white murals bring the country’s ancient battles and rural traditions to life.

Igreja dos Clérigos

It is a well-decorated Baroque church that is located in Porto. This church has a lot to attract the viewers and the most attractive thing about it is the tall bell tower. It looks even more amazing when illuminated at night. The church was opened in 1750.

Livraria Lello

You might be surprised to know that it is a bookstore, but it is like no other bookstore in Porto. It is a historical bookstore of Porto as it opened in 1881. Apart from being an old place, this place has an amazing art nouveau architectural style making it beautiful. Like most other places it also looks stunning in the evening when illuminated.

Cordoaria’s Garden

An escape from the busy city streets, it is a lush green garden that is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city. Not only is this park beautiful because of its plantations but it is a historic urban park that contains some amazing sculptures. All in all, this park has a very serene vibe to it with a huge variety of plants and trees.

Misericórdia Church

Every city has some places which have more importance than any other place and this church is the perfect example for Porto. It is one of the most important heritage sites from the Renaissance period in Porto. The church building dates back to the 18th century. While the exterior is unique, the interior of this church comes with some stunning views as well.

Bolsa Palace

The palace was built in the 19th century, so it is considered a historical site in Porto. It is located in the center of the city, so it is very easily accessible. On top of everything is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its historical importance and architectural class,

Church Of St Francis

The older buildings usually have a Gothic architectural style, and this church is the perfect example of this. It is not only stunning from its exterior, but the interior is also outstanding because of the decoration. It is located right in the historic center of Porto, and it is also a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Ribeira Square

If you are done with exploring the buildings and parks, then it is some time for visiting the shops and stalls. It is a historical square in Porto that is mainly famous for its beautiful buildings. However, for you, the main attraction can be the stalls and stores. There you can try out some local street food items as well as shop some local traditional things that you cannot do anywhere else in the world.

Alminhas of the Bridge

Tucked into a humble archway near the riverfront, this evocative bronze relief serves as a poignant memorial to the thousands of citizens who lost their lives during the Napoleonic invasion of 1809. As you pause before this flickering shrine often adorned with fresh flowers and candles, you will discover a deeply sacred local landmark that honors the city’s resilience and the tragic history of the bridge of boats.

Luís I Bridge – ending point of Porto Scavenger Hunt and city tour

Bridges always bring some unique type of beauty with them. While there are city sights on one side, the sight of a river or canal going through the city looks stunning as well on the other side. Porto is already an amazing city, and this bridge makes it even more beautiful. Locals consider it as the icon of the city with the sights like those near before.

    Activité très sympa et ludique, à réaliser en famille. Nous a permis de visiter des lieux et des quartiers que nous n’avions pas encore vu, le tout sans stress car pas de chrono, on va à notre rythme… Seul bémol, le lien vers le gps ne fonctionnait pas, je devais donc alterner à chaque étape entre l’appli du jeu et mon appli gps

    Activit? sympa mais sans plus. Les questions ne sont pas tr?s interessantes et non li?es ? la d?couverte de la ville… dommage. Par contre cela permet de suivre le guide et d’avancer dans la ville avec un objectif. Un peu cher pour une application avec 10 questions num?riques qui utilise ensuite google maps. Il faudrair developper un peu l’application pour ce prix ou le proposer ? un prix inf?rieur.
