We visited Torre dos Clerigos on a Saturday afternoon. The tower is a perfect way to get a birds eye view of the city of Porto & surrounding areas, what an awesome view. A bit of a climb up very narrow stairs but, when at the top viewing area well worth the trip up. We were lucky enough to hear... More

Torre dos Clerigos is something else. Built by Nicolau Nasoni, this tower offers very nice views of the city. It is 76 m (228 ft) high and it has 225 steps. It costs 3 euros per person to go up. More

It's nice, but not really special. It's a tower with a great view over the city, but I think experiencing Porto can be done much better from the ground than way up high in a tower. More

Superb view over the whole city. Steep narrow stone staircase up the the bells then even steeper climb to the top of the tower and second viewing gallery. Amazing! Incredibly no safety rails or grilles over windows; clearly in Portugal they refreshingly expect people to be sensible or take the consequences. More
