WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Construction dating from the twelfth/thirteenth century, in Romanesque style, that has been enlarged and renewed over the years up to its final setting, in the twentieth century, resulting in an idealized reconstitution of the medieval cathedral.
2.
This was the main Jewish quarter during the XIV century. The Jewish comunity lived and proved here until the inquisition era.
3.
The Miradouro da Vitória is a stunning viewpoint located in the heart of Porto. Situated on a hilltop in the historic Ribeira district, the viewpoint offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city, including the Douro River, the Dom Luís I Bridge, and the picturesque red-roofed houses of Porto.
4.
The Jardim das Virtudes, located in the historic center of Porto, Portugal, has a unique connection to the city's Jewish history. The garden, which sits on the site of an ancient cemetery, is believed to have been a burial ground for the Jewish community in Porto during the Middle Ages.
5.
Where some of the richest Jews used to live in the XIV century.
6.
Rua dos Mercadores, became a hub for Jewish merchants, who traded goods such as textiles, spices, and precious metals.
7.
The Holocaust Museum of Porto (MHP) was created in 2021 by the Jewish Community of Porto in partnership with B’nai B’rith International and Holocaust museums around the world. The MHP is the materialization of the challenge launched to civil society by the government project "Nunca Esquecer, em torno da memória do Holocausto“ [Never Forget, around the memory of the Holocaust] and intends to honor the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance of which Portugal is a member, as well as sharing with society in general documents and objects left by refugees in the Porto Synagogue during World War II.
8.
The foundation of the synagogue dates to 1923, with the initiatives of the Jewish community in Porto and of Captain Artur Barros Basto, who converted to Judaism. The Porto Synagogue is only open to religious services and community activities of its members. If you are a Jewish tourist and want to participate in the ceremonies, you should send an email to tourism@community-israelite-port.org, with your identification. The ceremonies take place on Fridays at the end of the day and Saturdays in the morning, as well as on Jewish holidays. The Synagogue is only open to the Jewish community, so the visit will take just 20 minutes from the outside.
9.
The Ribeira area was a bustling trading center, with merchants from all over Europe congregating there to buy and sell goods. Jewish traders were among the most prominent, and they played a significant role in the city's economy.

Four retirees here. We had a wonderful experience with Andre and his partner. The guide who usually does this tour was sick. Viator contacted us promptly and gave us 3 options. Very glad we chose to go with two other guides. They were organized, very personable, professional, coordinated and went out of their way to take us off the beaten path. We were able to register to go to Shabbat services the next morning which we had hoped to do. Services were followed by an awesome kiddish/lunch. Definitely needed a tuk tuk! Highly recommend!
