Porto’s Spiritus 360º light-and-music show at Clérigos Church. A 30-minute, $11 ticket with poem-inspired visuals and sound.
“Excellent light show in a beautiful monument Well worth going to see it”
Skip the line for Torre dos Clérigos: climb 225 steps for Porto’s top views, see the baroque Igreja dos Clérigos and Clerigos collections.
“Nice tower with panoramic views that are definitely worth the visit.”
Skip the line at Livraria Lello in Porto: neo-Gothic staircase, José Saramago items, and optional Mosteiro de Leça do Balio Foundation.

“I did not receive any discounts at any vendors during my 8 days of stay in Porto!!”
Porto’s World of Discoveries ticket includes 20 interactive exhibition areas and an audioguided boat ride on Portugal’s Age of Discovery.
“very nice experience.. wish the Boat ride was longer than 20 min!!the youth working there are duper frienfly”
SEA LIFE Porto full-day ticket with cow-faced rays, sharks, seahorses, free talks and feedings, plus Atlantic balcony views and Penguin Island birds.
“it was rather small but still pretty exciting. you get value for your ticket.”
Walk into Porto’s 3D Fun Art Museum, play with optical illusions, meet Titanic and superheroes, and grab goofy shareable photos for about an hour.
“Sympa mais certains tableaux ne sont pas trop 3D.”
Porto Card Walker gives free museum entry and major discounts across key sights, from Clérigos Tower to port cellars, for 1–4 days.
“Rip off! This is a totally useless card as no boat tour wanted to accept it for discount. We have used it for one occasion saving 1€. I would not recommend to buy this and explore Porto on your own or with the blue line HOHO!”
Enter Serralves Park in Porto and explore 18 hectares of Portuguese biodiversity, plus art and the famed treetop walk.
Guimarães Castle entry lets you visit Portugal’s UNESCO birthplace: medieval walls, battlements views, São Miguel chapel myths, great value.
“Adorei conhecer tudo, principalmente sobre a história desse lugar”
World of Discoveries in Porto with an included boat ride and interactive multimedia exhibits on Portugal’s Age of Discoveries.
“It was cute. Not at all what I expected. I would assume that it would be very interesting with kids.”
Prebook admission to Casa São Roque in Porto for a 1.5-hour art-and-gardens visit, ending with wine and almonds.
“Lovely period house a short car journey o bus journey from porto centre. Beautiful exterior and interior, we went to a modern art exhibition in the sorroundings of the beautiful building. I would definitely recommend but would have like to have full access to the camelias garden as some part was close I think due to restoration. Not much explanation in the actual house of the inside building and construction when we visited, but we did our research beforehand so all good. There is a small coffee place to sit and enjoy coffee or vino inside”
Palace of the Dukes of Bragança in Guimarães for a $5 ticket. Explore restored rooms, tapestries, porcelain, paintings, and gardens.
“Ficamos indignados pois compramos os tickets para visitar tanto o Palácio quanto o Paço dos Duques e NÃO ESTAVA FUNCIONANDO! Decepção!”
Skip-the-line ticket to Casa São Roque in Porto, pairing contemporary art in a historic house with 4-hectare gardens and a maze.
“Great venue. Beautiful gardens and house. Exhibition in the house was great too - amazing space!”
