You start on the Ribeira quayside, by the candles of the Alminhas, where in 1809 a bridge of boats sank under a crowd.

The shipyards, sailors’ church and customs house tell the riverbank’s story through work and the transformation of Miragaia.
Tiled façades, steps and pauses with the Douro in view: Porto is made for measured walks. Group nearby places together; the map draws much easier lines than your legs will find.
