Description
Discover Portugal's second largest city in style in the bright red London-style double-deckers. Begin your journey on the Blue Line from Torre dos Clérigos and get ready to see Praça da Liberdade from up high on the open top bus. You'll get a great view of the big statue in the middle of King Peter IV riding a horse.
At Bus Stop 8 you'll see Igreja das Carmelitas, also known as the Carmo Church which is said to be one of the city's most eye-catching buildings due to the array of blue and white tiles stuck on each side of the walls. Head on down to the water by Bus Stop 14, Cais de Gaia where you'll be able to witness the stunning riverfront and take pictures of the glorious boats. If you're hungry, go to the Serpa Pinto restaurant nearby for a taste of the Portuguese culinary delights!
The Red Line is slightly longer, starting at Ribeira. Hop-off to view the spectacular Pálacio da Bolsa, the Stock Exchange Palace which is key to Porto's heritage. Appreciate the out-of-this world views of the water as we pass the Cais das Pedras and make our way to the Torre dos Clérigos, the famous bell tower.
For all the music lovers out there, you'll be taken right to the Casa da Música at Bus Stop 20. Or if football is more up your street then hop off at Bus Stop 21 to take a tour around the football stadium, Estádio do Bessa XXI. Book your ticket online today and start planning your itinerary.
