Join us for an immersive sightseeing experience through Porto’s most captivating landmarks. Our journey begins at Hotel HF IPANEMA PORTO (the conference venue), where we’ll embark on a Half Day Porto City Tour. We’ll commence our exploration in Boavista, driving towards the sea, and then tracing the scenic route along the seaside until the Douro River mouth. Our first pause will be near the coastline, allowing you to soak in the refreshing sea breeze.

Continuing our adventure, we will proceed to the iconic Clérigos Tower, granting you free time to wander and discover the surrounding area at your leisure. Next on our itinerary is the historic Sé do Porto, a magnificent cathedral originally erected in the 12th century, with extensive renovations in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Our next stop will be the São Bento railway station, renowned for its captivating architectural beauty and interior decorated with astonishing tiles.

As dusk approaches, we will cross the river to Gaia, where a pause at Jardim do Morro awaits, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the UNESCO-designated World Heritage site, Ribeira Quarter and of the iconic Luis I Bridge, featuring a stunning arch crafted under the supervision of Gustave Eiffel and Teóphile Seyrig, opening on October 31, 1886.

Our Social Event culminates with a delightful dinner at a traditional Northern Portuguese restaurant, promising a memorable conclusion to our Porto adventure.
