For centuries, glazed tiles have been woven into the fabric of Portuguese culture, and Porto is no exception. From monumental façades to humble homes, tiles are an essential part of the city’s landscape, where art, history, and everyday life converge.

In this 2.5-hour private walking tour, we’ll do more than just admire the beauty and versatility of tiles — we’ll use them as a key to unlock the fascinating story of Porto. Each stop will reveal a chapter of the city’s history, architecture and lifestyle. We'll visit iconic landmarks, explore a tile depository with thousands of designs and uncover how tiles played a role in Porto’s commerce and art.

The final stretch will be about discovering stories behind the famous tiled panels at São Bento station and the Cathedral, one of the city’s oldest landmarks, with its breathtaking baroque tiles.

The experience, led by an architect and design researcher specializing in built heritage, includes a snack and a ticket for the Cathedral.
