Discovering Porto on foot is a unique experience for those who enjoy discovering unexpected corners, appreciate the landscapes, and have a closer connection with the city.

Thinking of those looking for a different program, with time to enjoy and savor every moment, we've prepared a tour to experience Porto in a light-hearted way - all prepared by Boavista Guest House.

We invite you to explore three memorable gardens, characterized by their vegetation, natural aromas, and relaxation areas.

  1. Jardins do Palácio de Cristal

Located in one of Porto's most prestigious areas, the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal offers a harmonious blend of nature, art, and history. With panoramic views over the Douro River, this green space invites you to take peaceful strolls along the winding paths, fountains, and sculptures that punctuate the route.


In the center stands the Pavilhão Rosa Mota, which replaced the original Palácio de Cristal and now hosts events and exhibitions. The contrast between the modern structure and the historic gardens creates a unique and special balance.


  1. Parque da Cidade

O Parque da Cidade is the ideal place to breathe fresh air, observe the local fauna, and enjoy tranquillity without leaving the city. This true green oasis offers expansive lawns, serene lakes, and scenic trails.

This space was designed for those looking for direct contact with nature, offering large areas for walking, leisure spaces, and a perfect environment for outdoor activities.


  1. Jardim Botânico do Porto

Located at the University of Porto, the Jardim Botânico is dedicated to the conservation and study of plant diversity. The garden is divided between open-air areas and air-conditioned greenhouses, where different species grow in controlled environments. It's a perfect place for those who like to learn about botany or simply want to enjoy a peaceful space full of life.
