The journey
Discover Porto's haunted side on a dusk walking tour through true stories and Portuguese legends. Starting at Virtudes Gardens, where the Jewish cemetery once stood, you'll explore the Vitória neighbourhood while hearing about the Inquisition, the Jewish community, and mysticism in the Middle Ages. Continue through Cordoaria Gardens and past the old cemetery of criminals, then hear tales of men who lost their heads defending freedom on Aliados Avenue. The evening ends at the haunted São Bento train station and the old traditional tavern Pinguim.
