Good to know

How long do you need at Kadoorie Synagogue?

Around two hours. It is an active synagogue that welcomes visitors, so expect a respectful, unhurried visit rather than a fast sightseeing pass.

Can you visit Palácio da Bolsa without a tour?

No, entry is by guided tour only, lasting about an hour and a half. Build the morning around the tour that suits you.

What makes Igreia de Santa Clara different?

The entire interior - walls, ceiling and altarpieces - is covered in gilded carving. The visit is more about sitting still than walking through.

When does the Church of Saint Ildefonso look best?

Late in the day, when the low light picks out the blue-and-white tiles of the facade. It is an easy evening stop.

How many days are enough for Porto?

Three, at this pace: a morning in the Serralves estate, a day of central museums and churches, and a final morning on the riverfront before an evening at the theatre.

Do these stops work well in June?

The schedule keeps the middle of the day mostly to interiors, like the Palácio da Bolsa and the gilded churches, and saves the riverfront and tiled facades for cooler hours.
