- Gazza87Santa Cruz de la Palma, Spain352 contributionsAmazing fully tiled interior of the main station hall.
All in a stunning blue.
The station is an adventure in itself.
Situated in the centre of this bustling city.
A lively exciting atmosphere as locals and tourists mingle throughout this busy working station.
Great to see and feel the buzz of the place.Written September 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Laura L13 contributionsWonderful tour, magnificent building
Our tour guide (first thing Sunday morning, 8th Sept) was fantastic.
Definitely worth a visitWritten September 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Takes about an hour or less to finish walking the ground and tower, which has splendid view of the city. Could do with more information and signages though.Written September 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tony McMahonLondon, UK393 contributionsEvery time I come to Porto, I have to visit this church. A medieval survivor. Total must for history fans. Normally, I head downstairs first to look at the creepy crypt which is full of carved skulls and there is an ossuary. Upstairs is the opulent headquarters of the secretive Order of Saint Francis. Then in the main church, you have a very gory altar to the martyred Franciscans who tried to convert Morocco to Christianity. Annoyingly, you're not allowed to take still images. That rule needs to go - everybody is breaking it.Written August 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- julesthereaderco.tyrone367 contributionsWe loved both exterior and interior. Our walking tour passed by on Thursday but we felt we needed to make the journey back to see inside. Only €5 entrance. Step back in time and be enthralled with everything you see!Written August 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- John SOttawa, Canada257 contributionsThe building was recently refurbished. Many traditional fruit, vegetable, and other goods market on the main floor. Restaurants on the the third floor. If you need some food items, then definitely worth a visit.Written September 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- coh8Glasgow, UK946 contributionsWhile defeat in the 2003 UEFA Cup final hurt badly (Deco and Derlei would have rivalled Greg Louganis on the Olympic stage), this was the highlight for my 8YO son and I during our 5 days in Porto. It was 4 or 5 stops from Trinidade (400m from our apartment), and near a good shopping mall and food court too.
30 euro allowed us to visit the stadium and the museum. While 45-minute tour was standard fare, it showcased a compact bowl with great views throughout. As a Celtic fan, the best moment there was lifting the European Cup on the touchline with my son. This was made even sweeter because of the grumpy look from a former Rangers player because Conor was wearing his Celtic away shirt (unless mistaken, one of the worst Crystal Palace managers of all time). Maybe AVB (Club President) will invite into his box for real next time - make mine a cold beer.
After a quick break, we spent the next 90 minutes in the museum, where we got to know the history of the club and its evolution into a European powerhouse. Video highlights of all key European and Intercontinental matches (including Rabah Madjer's backheel against Bayern in 1987), the fan experience and the opportunity for photos with statues of the best XI and former managers (Madjer, Futre, Branco and Bobby Robson were my favourites) made this a truly memorable experience.
While the team and guides were very friendly, and spoke great English, the New Balance replica kits in the club shop were over-priced for T-shirts without embroidered badges (which would be standard practice in the UK). Although I did not mind 15 euro for the European Cup image, the other merchandise (bobble hats, fridge magnets, programmes and boot bag) were reasonable value for money.
In my experience, Porto, Benfica and Atletico Madrid are all very welcoming places for genuine football fans. Good luck for season 2024/2025.Written August 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Local products and local food, as well as other European and international cuisines.
MUST try the piglet sandwiches at O Forno do LeitĂŁo do ZĂ© and some seafood from the MarisquerĂa 🫶🏼Written July 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The carvins are incredible and the gold leaf is unbelievable. The restoration that this church has undergone has painstakingly brough it back to its original grandeur. Be sure to see it!Written September 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sunny DrAlexandria, VA1,360 contributionsThis landmark offers a unique architectural concept and stands out as a piece of art but it does not seem to be that well kept as some of the outside structures are dirty and mildestWritten September 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sunny DrAlexandria, VA1,360 contributionsWe did the tour of the church and it was very interesting to see the history embedded and the lifestyles.

- Jennifer CCumbria, UK1,655 contributionsWe saw this whilst doing the blue bus tour -googled it and decided to visit the next door, we were aware it's aimed at younger people and this was evident when we arrived as we missed the entire 1st room as it was full of children on a school trip but we loved every other room and were blown away by the boat ride, we absolutely loved it. We took loads of photos and felt it was money well spent. As we were leaving lots more school children around but didn't bother us at all. Great learning for them. We loved the rhino!Written June 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- kpaddo917168Swiss Alps, Switzerland2 contributionsWe were just amazed how incredibly interesting the whole course was and we met two very nice and talented young couple, it marked our anniversary of 41 years in style, the teacher was great and very talented too, he showed us how to paint and the result are now hanging in our homeWritten October 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ynot772014Viseu, Portugal77 contributionsAn amazing bookstore, and magnificent architecture. I bought my ticket ahead of time which allowed me to choose a time slot. Yes, I've read some of the reviews - comments and while they are true in the sense that there are many people, the fact that the visit is divided up into time slots allowed me to visit the bookshop yes, with several people inside but certainly NOT an exaggerated amount. I comfortably not only visited, took pictures (several I might add) and still took my sweet time to choose some books. The price is not by all means exaggerated or overpriced. And no one is obligated to make a purchase. I paid the 8€ and was promptly discounted by the cashier. I also was greeted politely and one of the staff members kindly helped with some questions. So, I would recommend a visit.Written August 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Catherine H185 contributionsGreat tour to do in Porto. We did the stadium tour first, this felt rather rushed with little time to read up the information on the app which we had purchased to go alongside the tour. It felt like we moved on from areas very quickly. However, the museum that followed was very impressive. It is very interactive and you can go around at your own pace. The whole experience was great. It contained lots of facts that we were not aware of about FC Porto. It was also not hugely expensive for a football tour in comparison to others we have visited but came away thinking it was great value for money as the museum was very well done. Would highly recommend doing it when in Porto.Written October 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
