Working building so you can only go on a guided tour. Arrived at 9:40 with an English tour at 9:50 (you can sit inside and wait for it to start) with about 30 people on it. Tour guide was very good and we thought it quite impressive to view. Fully agree however if we had arrived later and had an extended wait there would have been better ways to spend our time

You can only visit this building with the tour. There was a long line, and each group would purchase tickets based upon the time the tour in their language was offered. While we were in line, an earlier time than we anticipated for a tour was opened up and offered due to the crowd demands. We couldn't wait inside the building but were told to come back in a short while and enter through the exit door. We quickly went a block away and ate a fast lunch at the McDonalds (what would you expect from Americans!). The tour took only 30 minutes, but it was nice and informative, and the building was very pretty!

Must see! The best tour i had in Porto. Stunning building, beatiful interior. I only wait 10 minute for an english tour which was amazing. I personally would like to have a shorter but guided trip. I believe all the trips around 30-35 minutes. Our guide was Érica she was cheerful, explanied everthing one by one. She took the trip to the next level for me. I am hoping she will be first female major in the future!! I am very grateful that i had a chance to have this experience. Tickets Adult- 12 euro Student-7.5 euro

Well worth a visit to see the sumptuously decorated rooms. One is struck what a male dominated institution this is still but they really went to town in some of the decoration. Please note you MUST have a guided tour as a group, you cannot just turn up and wander round. The tour lasts about an hour for 12 euros and was enjoyable

One of the best 12 euros ever spent visiting a 'sight'. Just amazing. Interesting history and glorious architecture. In awe at the flooring and domed ceiling. The Arab room takes your breath away. Don't miss this.

Once we had worked out the booking system for the tours we awaited our guide in the amazing internal courtyard. Around the roof are the flags and emblems of the countries that portugal traded with at the time it was built. The tour was interested and took us through a number of lovely rooms that have been used as a court and places for all manor of business deals. The real stunner is kept for the end. The lavishly decorated golden Arab room is just one of those places that is a must see if you are in the area. Our guide was knowledgable and gave us plenty of good information.

Definitely worth a visit. The 30 minute guided tour was interesting. Go early in the day to avoid large queues. There are tours in 4 different languages and you can see the timings on the screen inside which will show the next tour's capacity and language. Palacio da Bolsa's website doesn't seem to have online booking.

This sightseeing experience was worth every penns. It's simply amazing. The history behind it is fascinating, and the architecture is glorious. I couldn't help but be in awe of the intricate flooring and the majestic domed ceiling. The Arab room is breathtaking—it's a must-see.

I am not usually a fan of guided tours but the one we had today was absolutely superb. Our guide Sarah was funny, informative, and so enthusiastic, and the audience loved her. It's an absolutely stunning building and they save the best room to last. Well worth a visit..

You go with a guide, it's only half an hour or so, but well worth it! Fascinating rooms, and our guide, Mariana T, kept us both informed and entertained. Really was First Class. Nothing too heavy, yet still informative, and all delivered with humour that didn't feel forced. At the end make sure you visit the chess pieces. We turned up at 9 am without a booking and had no problem getting in.
