A 2-hour Porto tile-painting workshop at Sé do Porto with Azulejo history, guidance for beginners, and Port wine plus snacks.
“It was a fun activity! It was nice to be creative and our guide helped us a lot with the technique.”
Impressive Monet & Brilliant Klimt in Porto. 360° projections in Alfândega customs house, 30 minutes, $12 ticket.
“This was wonderful! I’d been to the Van Gogh immersive in Bristol. This was even better. A labyrinth of stone and arches in which to wander whilst experiencing the show. Or you could sit and experience. Just fabulous. 15 mins on each of Klimt and Monet. Beautiful choreography too.”
Two-hour Porto tile painting with a cocktail at Boiler Studio, with an azulejo history lesson and a keepsake tile.
“Daniella and the team at Boiler Studio were so awesome. this was a great activity and some of our family even spent a little longer than 2 hours to finish up their tiles and we never felt rushed. It was a great activity with an awesome keepsake!”
Spiritus Porto at Clérigos Church: a 30-minute light-and-music projection by OCUBO with mobile tickets, great value for a rainy evening.
“Very relaxing, visual experience and a beautiful church. Definitely recommend.. Calming music.. and a good way to spend 30 minutes.”
Paint a Portuguese azulejo in downtown Porto, learn tile history, sip a gin port cocktail or juice, and take home your glazed tile.
“Boiler Studios offers a great intro to tile painting with with a super interesting overview of Portuguese tile history given by Daniela (who I think owns the studio). Chatting with the other attendee about their trips while making a great souvenir and sipping a cocktail made for a perfect afternoon! The studio is also very close to many tourist attractions so it's easy to combine. And they offer a Pastel de Nata workshop which partially overlapped with our class, which I didn't end up trying but plan to when I return.”
Create watercolor in Porto with Hugo do Lago at Lago Artes. Small group, all materials included, and a Porto scene keepsake.
“This was so fun! Hugo was a great teacher and very patient. I am in no way an artist and my picture looks pretty good. I highly recommend this class for a break from all the sightseeing/walking.”
Paint a Portuguese azulejo in a small Porto workshop with Porto wine, snacks, and an easy take-home souvenir tile.
“Fun and meaningful activity! Fernanda was helpful and gave us some history on tile painting and helped us with colors and designs. She was very accommodating as we were a late addition since our other tile painting experience canceled on us at the last minute!”
Create a Portuguese Azulejo tile in a Porto studio. Choose kiln-fired glazing or ready-to-paint acrylic, then take it home or ship.
“Egle was a very personable instructor. She was very flexible and arranged for us to pick up our tiles before we left the city. Her explanations were very easy to follow and she was very patient. We were all so focused once we decided on our tile pattern. It was so much fun for creative and not so creative individuals!”
A 2-hour Porto tile-painting workshop: learn tile history, paint 2 traditional tiles, enjoy tea and biscuits, then pick up fired keepsakes.
“Really great time at the Tile Painting Workshop. Very informative and inspiring about how Porto tiles are created. It was fun painting the tiles and collecting them the next day to take home. Great way to remember our time in Porto”
Pink Palace in Porto turns rosé tasting into a playful, photo-friendly museum with five tastings and 11 themed rooms.
“Solo traveler here who loves pink. How could I not head to WOW? Staff was wonderful, indulging a middle-aged not-influencer with a tripod for all of the cool rooms. Great photos and great wine. Worth $30? It was to me, but I could see being disappointed if one was expecting a large museum or if they were with kids who needed to be entertained for any extended amount of time. For me, the wine and photos were fine--great, even!”
